SESLHD is pleased to announce that we are now in the final stages of completing the Electronic Referrals (eReferrals) rollout across South Eastern Sydney Local Health District.
This implementation has formed part of a staged approach which will continue until June this year. We are committed to improving the safety, efficiency, and timeliness of managing patient referrals as we transition away from paper- based referral pathways.
As part of this commitment, all Practitioners with Healthlink access are now strongly urged to submit referrals via the Healthlink platform electronically when referring to Outpatient services across SESLHD.
Services listed below will be onboarded from the dates mentioned, however we have 115 services already live and accepting eReferrals across SESLHD.

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:
