SESLHD is pleased to announce that selected St George Hospital Outpatient services mentioned below will be accepting Electronic referrals as of Wednesday 25 June 2025, as part of a staged implementation approach across SESLHD Outpatient services.
SESLHD is transitioning away from paper-based referral pathways. Electronic referrals will be the preferred method for submitting and managing referrals for services mentioned below as well as the current list of services across SESLHD already accepting eReferrals.

eReferrals are electronic forms submitted through your practice software via HealthLink or via MyHealthLink portal.
All referrals will now be processed through the Electronic Referral Management System (eRMS), which offers a more streamlined, efficient, and secure way to manage referrals across services.
Benefits of Electronic referrals
Referrals are sent, received, and managed electronically. Sending an eReferral instead of a paper or faxed referral has multiple benefits for referrers, including:
eReferrals can be accessed directly from HealthLink Portal (using the same process for Drivers License Assessments)
Clinical information can be easily attached.
Clear transparency from current list of services offered across SESLHD and clinicians.
Referrals are sent quickly and securely.
Two-way communication between referrers and hospital services enables additional information to be provided more efficiently and in timely manner.
Referrers are notified via secure message of referral receipt, outcome, and triage category.
