Our e-referral portal

If you are registering as a new user, you will require a valid email address and contact phone number to submit referrals online.

This portal will provide you with:

  • a single page referral
  • a direct referral to the anaesthetist-led pre-admission clinic
  • acknowledgement once the booking has been processed by the hospital
  • an efficient booking system (single point access)
  • a unique database customised for each practice
  • auto-populated referrals for repeat patients.

Complete the form a minimum of two weeks prior to your patient’s admission date.

To assist you with this process, have the following patient information at hand:

  • valid provider number
  • patient name and date of birth
  • diagnosis details
  • expected admission date
  • funding details (for example private health insurance, DVA etc).

Step-by-step guide

Depending on the setup of your organisation/practice and your preference for collaborating on a common patient booking list, there are two ways to access eReferrals.

Shared patient booking list for your organisation/practice (create user as ‘specialist rooms’)
  • If your organisation already has an e-referrals account with Macquarie University Hospital ask your organisation's administrator to invite you to collaborate on a common patient and booking list.
  • If your organisation DOES NOT have an existing e-referrals account with Macquarie University Hospital
    • Your organisation's administrator should register a new organisation.
    • They can then invite you as a collaborators to this new organisation.
Private patient booking list per doctor (create user as ‘general practitioner’)

If a doctor prefers to separate their bookings from other doctors, then follow these steps:

  1. The doctor should register a new organisation.
  2. The doctor can then invite practice managers/secretaries to collaborate on this doctor's booking list.

Note: If the collaborator needs to access multiple booking lists/organisations, they will need a separate login per booking list. For example – anne.smith@episoft.com.au could have a login anne.smith+1@episoft.com.au to access a second booking list.
