About our service
The Ear Nose and Throat department is a specialist service that cares for children with highly complex medical and surgical needs. We provide consultative, diagnostic and therapeutic services in ENT and head and neck surgery.
The team supports two Aboriginal medical service centres in Redfern and La Perouse and provide an outreach ENT clinic for Aboriginal patients in the local catchment area.
Referral process for clinicians
Our department is using Consultmed to manage referrals. The Consultmed platform allows health professionals to send e-referrals to us securely.
Consultmed questions and technical support: helpdesk@consultmed.co
For more information on referring patients to local ENT services, see Health Pathways.
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.
The ENT outpatient clinic accepts referrals for patients who reside in the local area. Exceptions can be made for patients outside the area if they require care from our service.
Not all ENT referrals need to go to our specialists; many can be handled by your doctor or local ENT service. Due to high demand, we prioritise referrals according to NSW state-wide referral criteria. We will only accept those that meet our criteria or are within our local area.
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.

Pre-surgery information
Before your child's planned surgery we will call you for a wellness check. We will ask if your child has any cold or flu like symptoms, or if they are in close contact with someone who is sick.
We will ask about symptoms such as fevers, a blocked or runny nose, sore throat, coughing, sneezing or wheeze, vomiting or diarrhoea, ear pain, or feeling lethargic.
Please let us know if your child is or has been sick.
