Referring Patients

Patients requiring emergency medical attention should be referred directly to the emergency department at SCGH.  GPs are requested to telephone the emergency department on 1800 247 205 in advance and to fax relevant medical information to 9346 2620.  Written information should also be sent with the patient.

Outpatient Clinics

Patients who live outside the catchment area of SCGH and who do not require the services of a tertiary hospital should be referred to a specialist with clinical privileges at another appropriate secondary hospital.  As a guide the following postcodes should be considered as being the local catchment for SCGH: 6005, 6007-6012, 6014-6035, 6037, 6060-6061, 6064-6065, 6159.
