All patients require a fully completed referral. This referral allows us to triage the timing of the woman’s Booking In appointment.

• At 12 weeks for uncomplicated pregnancies
• At 10 weeks, for complicated pregnancies or where the woman is 35 years or older

• Emailed (preferred option for pregnancy referrals) to [email protected]
• It can also be faxed to 8890-5198
• Only women who live in the local government areas (LGAs) of Parramatta, Holroyd and The Hills are accepted for pregnancy care.
• You can check whether the woman’s address falls within these LGAs here: Parramatta, Holroyd and The Hills [PDF]
• Out of area women are accepted for pregnancy care only if they or their baby have a condition that requires care at Westmead. If you are uncertain whether your patient is eligible for Westmead care, please email or fax the fully completed referral and then phone the Westmead Women’s Clinic on 8890 6508
• Out of area women who are privately insured are accepted for pregnancy care if their obstetrician is a consultant on our staff
• If you believe a woman needs review within 2 days (eg high risk Down syndrome screening, ultrasound suggests a problem, late presentation with a high risk pregnancy etc) please email or fax the fully completed referral and then phone the Westmead Women’s Clinic on 8890 6508

• The phone is attended by an answering machine.
• To make an appointment the woman (or her GP) should ring EPAC and leave the details requested.
• Messages left during the night are returned soon after 7.30am while day time messages are returned regularly during the day
• While EPAC sees patients both with appointments and as walk-ins, an appointment generally means a woman spends less time in the clinic waiting to be seen
• Where possible, GPs should please ensure patients have copies of all relevant blood tests and that they bring all ultrasounds with them (images as well as reports)

• faxed to 8890-5198
• If preferred, gynaecological referrals can be emailed to Westmead Gynaecology Bookings
• This referral allows us to triage the timing of the woman’s Gynaecology appointment

• We try to review all patients within 6 – 8 weeks
• If you believe a woman needs review sooner than that please fax the fully completed referral to 8890-5198 and then phone the Westmead Women’s Clinic on 8890 6508 and ask to speak to the Gynaecology nurse or email through your enquiry to [email protected] between 0900am and 4.00pm Monday to Friday.
