How to access this service
A referral is required for all patients. The eligibility criteria differs depending on the service, with some clinics only accepting internal referrals.

Please note that all outpatient services have waiting lists and no drop-in clinics are available. Due to the wait list we do not see patients referred under Work Cover.
