Request for Admission (RFA)
Request for Admission (RFA) forms are required to schedule an admission at our hospitals. The hospital will transfer the details from these forms into a waiting time register, to ensure the sickest patients are treated first.
RFA options

This method requires an NSW Health account as well as a SCHN PowerChart account.
