All patients require a fully completed referral via our eReferrals system. This referral allows us to triage the timing of the woman’s Booking In appointment. Visit the WSLHD eReferrals page or HealthPathways for more information on how to refer your patient with eReferrals.
Booking In is:
-
At 12 weeks for uncomplicated pregnancies
-
At 10 weeks, for complicated pregnancies or where the woman is 35 years or older
The referral should be:
- 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 (e.g. high risk Down syndrome screening, ultrasound suggests a problem, late presentation with a high risk pregnancy etc) then phone the Westmead Women’s Clinic on 8890 6508
