You will need a referral letter from your local GP or specialty doctor to use this service. Please ask them to write you a referral letter explaining your medical history, relevant test results, X-Ray results and what medicines you are taking.
We will then send you a letter in the post with the details of your appointment date, time and location. If an appointment cannot be made, we will send you a letter confirming that you are on the outpatient waiting list for the next available appointment. Please let us know if your address and/or phone number changes.
If you need to change or cancel your appointment, please telephone 02 9113 3172. Please note we have limited capacity to change appointment dates given heavy demand. Appointment times may also be postponed at short notice when excess clinical priority so dictates.
