For Referrers

Thank you for your Trust

We would like to thank you for entrusting your patient to our care.

Who Can Refer

A referral from a specialist General Practitioner (GP) or other Medical Specialist is accepted. It does not need to be a "named" referral.


  • GP referrals are valid with Medicare for 12 months from date of initial consultation with your surgeon (not from date of referral).
  • Medical Specialist referrals are only valid with Medicare for 3 months from date of consultation.

Patients may refer themselves, but patients who attend without an approved referral will not receive a Medicare rebate for their initial consultation fee. 


How are your patients seen?

We are currently doing most consultations via Telehealth (Tuesdays and Wednesdays), however we are also seeing patients in person at Murdoch on fortnightly Tuesdays and in Perth CBD fortnightly Tuesdays.



Dr Blackham also visits Albany monthly and sees patients in her rooms at Great Southern Specialist Centre.


How to refer

Referrals can be sent via

  • Healthlink/RSD to AURORABA
  • Fax: (08) 6478 7632.

We will contact the patient to make an appointment.


Availability

We maintain allocations for new referrals on each day of clinic. If you have a preferred potential date(s) of surgery please let us know early.
