Electronic Referrals is further expanding across South Eastern Sydney Local Health District
SESLHD is expanding further across more services to assist you as referrers with a more streamlined approach to referring into Outpatient Services across SESLHD.
This implementation of eReferrals will see the remaining services at Prince of Wales (excluding Cancer Service/Allied Health) and Sutherland Surgical Outpatients (as outlined in the table below), whereby Electronic referrals will be the preferred method of accepting and submission of referrals as we move away from paper-based referral pathways.
All referrals will be processed and managed via the electronic Referral Management System (eRMS).
eReferrals are electronic forms submitted through your practice software via HealthLink or via MyHealthLink portal.
From the Healthlink home page, please look for:
NSW Health Outpatient referrals – South Eastern Local Health District not via a Healthlink EDI. Any accessibility issues to SESLHD eForms, please contact Healthlink to enable access.

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.
