From March 2027, the Royal Melbourne Hospital, the Royal Children’s Hospital, the Royal Women’s Hospital and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre will be accepting eReferrals for Specialist Clinic (Outpatient) and Sub-acute Services via HealthLink.
Benefits of eReferral via HealthLink:
- no more faxing or unsecured emails
- saves time – templates pre-populate patient details
- links to HealthPathways, statewide referral criteria and hospital websites
- simple to attach reports, images and results
- automated referral status notifications
- referrals automatically copied to your patient’s record
HealthLink is integrated with most general practice software, making the transition simple and free.
Practices without conformant software can register for a MyHealthLink portal account by completing the online registration form, noting in the comments field that you would like to use eReferral (SmartForms).
For further information about eReferrals at the Parkville precinct hospitals, please contact Fiona McCormack (Project Manager) at Fiona.McCormack@mh.org.au
