The referral process

To be a new patient at the centre, we require a referral from your GP or specialist.

• The first step is to print the referral form. You can take the form to your doctor and speak to them about your preference to see an Epworth haematologist.
• Your referral is promptly triaged by our Haematology Nurse Coordinator.
• They will connect you with an Epworth haematologist whose practice will be in contact within 48 hours to schedule an appointment.
