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.

We accept referrals for children of aboriginal descent regardless of where they live.

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.

Children who are unwell at the time of surgery have poorer recovery and longer stays in hospital.
