Northern Health utilise the  Department of Health’s Statewide Criteria where available, in order to ensure equity of care for patients who require specialised care, assessment and management

State-wide referral criteria also contain minimum required information that allow a clinician to prioritise the need for an appointment and increase their ability to appropriately manage the clinical condition from a patients first appointment with a specialist.

If a referral does not contain the minimum required information, we will ask clinicians to re-submit the referral with the appropriate information.

Not all specialities or health conditions are covered by the state-wide criteria. In that case, Northern Health also utilise HealthPathways (see below)

Please also check the relevant specialty for information on clinic-specific referral criteria.

HealthPathways Melbourne provides referring GPs with a comprehensive suite of clinical pathways, including guidance on when to refer and required information to accompany a referral.
