Referrer Information

Excellent Outcomes For Our Patients

Pre–Admission Process

The patient is referred for pre-admission (by telephone, fax or email) by NUM / Discharge Planner / MO.
The Director Clinical Services (DCS) assesses the patient (may include a site visit).
If the patient meets our admission criteria, the DCS arranges the Health Fund Check, ensures approval for DVA patients is obtained by the REFERRER, and liaises with the referring facility to confirm bed availability.
The REFERRER informs the patient of any co-payments, whether the confirmed bed is in a private room or shared ward, confirms bed with DCS on the day prior to transfer, and arranges transport to Alwyn.

If the patient does not meet admission criteria, the referral is declined.

Patient Testimonial
"I came into the hospital a very nervous hip replacement patient. I left confident and relaxed, comfortable with my ability to care for my husband and myself. You cared for me when I needed care and let me care for myself when I was ready."
