Important information about referrals
When you ask your GP or specialist for a referral, it must include:
- the referring practitioner’s address
- phone number
- provider number.
If the referral is from a specialist, your GP’s details should also be included with the referral. All referrals must be legally valid as outlined in the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS).
Please ensure the letter of referral is addressed to our team. The referral must be received and dated before treatment can start.
Find our palliative care

Bereavement support
Bereavement counselling is a confidential discussion with a trained professional when you’re experiencing grief. They will help explore the impact of your loss and identify coping strategies. Grief and bereavement are different for everyone, and seeking help early supports continued healing.
Learning about the end of life
At the end of life, it’s important to have a compassionate care team with you that provides quality healthcare services. But many of us can feel unsure of what we can personally do to help.
The Last Days Program educates you about what to expect during the dying process and death. We developed this program in consultation with the community to increase knowledge and confidence at this difficult time of life. Tailored for carers, participants learn about what to prepare, conversations to have with your family and practical and legal aspects such as what an advance care directive is and how to prepare for a funeral.
