New St George and Sutherland Hospital ANSC Protocol
The St George and Sutherland ANSC Advisory Committee have recently finalised the ANSC Protocol review. The updated protocol is now available on the CESPHN Maternal Health webpage. If the most recent version of this document (dated March 2021) does not appear – please clear your cache in your browser history.
The ANSC Protocol is intended as a guide for general practitioners participating in the St George and Sutherland Antenatal Shared Care (ANSC) Program. GPs participating in the ANSC program will be expected to adhere to the agreed guidelines as outlined in the GP Antenatal Shared Care Protocol when caring for their antenatal shared care patients.

New St George and Sutherland Hospital gynaecology referral form
GPs are requested to use the new outpatient gynaecology referral form for the St George and Sutherland Hospitals gynaecology outpatient clinics. A general letter addressed to the clinic is not a valid referral and is unable to be accepted for Medicare billing purposes.
Use the clinic guide to ensure the woman is referred to the correct clinic.
Complete the referral and ensure the GP details are legible.
Fax the referral form and results to the fax number listed on the form.
If required, the GP may also fax a detailed history with the referral.
The referrals are triaged in the gynaecology clinics at the relevant hospital and the woman is sent an appointment letter in the mail.
Templates for Best Practice and Medical Director are available for download.
