How to refer for antenatal care

For information on how and where to refer women for antenatal care, visit HealthPathways South Eastern Sydney or Information for General Practitioner (GP).

All bookings for Antenatal Care at RHW are via eReferral through HealthLink SmartForm. eReferrals are available in Best Practice, Genie and Medical Director, or through the MyHealthLink portal (login required).

To further improve the eReferral process please follow the following procedure:

Please complete an eReferral AFTER 6-weeks gestation of pregnancy confirming by dating ultrasound or BHCG.
The referral MUST be accompanied by an ultrasound and antenatal pathology
All referrals are triaged to ensure women receive care at the appropriate time by the appropriate clinician. To facilitate this triage process please provide a detailed past medical, surgical, and obstetric history (including any history of LLETZ, cone biopsy, preterm birth or miscarriage) in the referral
Women with T1DM or T2DM will require an eReferral as soon as the pregnancy is confirmed and will need to be seen at 8-weeks gestation. Transvaginal ultrasound at 7 weeks gestation is recommended.

Referring at this time should allow access to the model of care choice.

Women with medical disorders will require NAMED FURTHER eReferral/s addressed to each relevant named specialist as indicated below:

Obstetric Medicine Doctors and Endocrinologists: Dr A Beech, Dr H Barrett, Prof S Lowe
Endocrinologist: Dr S M Lau
Haematologist: Dr G Kidson-Gerber
