About this service
Billing
Fees and bulk billing

Additional information
How to refer: We recommend that GPs refer by telephone, as this is more reliable than fax transmission. We will require details including your name and contact details, the patient's name, date of birth, address, past medical history, current medications, the current problem and any relevant treatment or investigations. After phone referral, these details can be sent in a fax marked 'Emergency Referral'. Where there is doubt about the appropriateness of an Emergency Department referral or if urgent assistance is sought, the duty emergency physician or registrar can be contacted on 8345 1596. For example, some subspeciality services are not available at Sunshine and if the patient is time-critical it may be useful to discuss the patient with the senior ED doctor before sending the patient. Please provide a fax number to allow us to provide prompt feedback to you. Only GPs and Specialists can refer by telephone to Emergency.
