Referring
your patient

Are you a medical practitioner looking to refer patients?

We understand that researching local allied health professionals for patient referrals can be time-consuming. That's why we've compiled key information to consider before making referrals, outlined below:

  • No referral form needed: Don’t worry, we know you have enough paper work! Please send through relevant information to our contact below.

    Referring back to you: When it comes to our shared patients, we prioritise continuity of care by referring back to you. Keeping the referring Doctor in the loop with respect to rehabilitation progress is crucial for optimising patient outcomes.

    Patient Experience: We prioritise transparent communication with our patients, offering realistic expectations and outcomes. We advocate for evidence-based treatments and practical support that align with individual needs.

    Throughout the treatment process, we provide patients with a clear trajectory and options for post-treatment care. However, we emphasise that the decision to participate in treatment and the path to recovery are ultimately in their hands.

    Our goal is to empower patients by offering them choices and supporting them in achieving their recovery goals, whatever those may be.

  • Maintaining communication with referring GPs and specialists is paramount to us. When you entrust a patient to our care, we prioritise keeping you informed about their progress. We achieve this through regular progress letters, ensuring you stay updated. Additionally, we welcome phone calls or emails from you whenever necessary.

  • We are well versed in the ins and outs of both the worker’s compensation and CTP claims processes. We can handle communicatios with claims managers and rehab providers, to minimise your admin load as the referring doctor.

  • If you're interested in seeing how we work first hand, we invite you to stop by our clinic to say hi.
