How long will my appointment take?
You will be seen in order of your appointment time.
Appointment duration and patient numbers vary, so we recommend you allow for delays. Although GV Health staff will make every attempt to provide you with an appointment in the quickest time possible, priority must be given to emergency and more urgent patients.
Failure to attend two scheduled appointments, including appointments for blood tests, x-rays and pre-admission clinics, (without prior notice and good cause), may result in you being removed from the outpatient appointment waiting list and a new referral would be required.
How do I access GV Health’s specialist consulting clinics services?
Access to GV Health’s specialist consulting clinics is via referral only. To arrange a referral, please speak to your General Practitioner (GP) or treating team.
All referrals must meet the State Wide Referral Criteria for Specialist Clinics. Incomplete referrals will be declined.
