Referral and appointment process for parents and carers
Request a referral
To make an appointment at our clinic, you will need a referral from your GP, paediatrician or specialist.
They will assess your child, discuss your concerns, and make a referral to the appropriate service.
Track your referral
Our department uses Consultmed to manage referrals. Your referring clinician sends the e-referral to us using the secure Consultmed platform.
Once we receive the referral, we will send you an email with your tracking information. We will update you as we process the referral and book your appointment.
To receive these updates, please ask your referring clinician to include your email on the referral.
If your clinician has questions about Consultmed or require technical support, they can contact helpdesk@consultmed.co.

Clinic information
We offer separate clinics for diabetes and other endocrine issues.
The diabetes clinics are structured so that most patients are seen four times each year, or every three months.
At two of these visits patients will see the endocrinologist and at the other two visits patients will see either the diabetes educator or the dietitian.
A diabetes social worker and psychologist as also available, as needed.
