Your referral will include your medical history, relevant test results, X-ray results and what medicines you are currently taking.
Once we receive this referral and accept it we will send you a letter with your appointment details. We will also send this to your doctor. If the appointment is urgent we will contact you via telephone. If we cannot make an appointment for you, we will send you a letter confirming that you are on the waiting list for the next available appointment. If you change your address and/or phone number, please call 02 9382 0400.

We are a teaching hospital and you may be asked to be involved in research or for a medical student to be present at your appointment. You have a right to say no. If you do so, this will not impact in any way on the services we will provide.
