Specialist Consulting Suites

Home | Our services | Specialist Consulting Suites

The GV Health Specialist Consulting Suites (SCS) provide a wide range of medical and surgical specialties, offering professional, high-quality care to our community.

Our suites are located in Building I, between the Emergency Department and the Peter Copulos Cancer & Wellness Centre. Appointments are available face-to-face and via telehealth.

Referrals

To improve access and consistency across public hospitals, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has introduced Statewide Referral Criteria for certain conditions.

Referring clinicians must comply with these criteria.
Mandatory information is required before a referral can be accepted, directed to the right service, and clinically prioritised.
To ensure timely triage, please send referrals electronically using (BPAC), available through Medical Director or Best Practice software.
