Infectious Diseases Clinic
Health professional information
Clinical service overview
Infectious Diseases outpatient clinics provide booked medical appointments with an Infectious Diseases Physician. The Infectious Diseases Unit has over 20 specialists working in the clinic across the week. Infectious Diseases Registrars who are completing their training also provide appointments in outpatients.
The clinic sees patients with a broad range of infectious diseases and has a number of specialist infectious diseases clinics, including:
- General infectious diseases
- HIV/AIDS and sexually transmissible infections
- Infections in immunosuppressed individuals
- Orthopaedic and post-surgical infections
- Respiratory infections and tuberculosis
- Viral hepatitis
As well as these specialty clinics, we also run the VICPhage Service and a Travel Medicine Clinic which can assist people wishing to travel with their infectious diseases risk and precautions whilst overseas.
We run clinics every day of the week and triage referrals to the appropriate clinician. The majority of clinics are public outpatient clinics.

We accept GP and specialist referrals to this service.
All referrals are triaged by the service according to clinical urgency. Patients requiring immediate assessment should be sent to the Emergency & Trauma Centre.
To refer your patient, complete and fax a referral to us. For urgent referrals, also contact the service Registrar to discuss the case.
To ensure appropriate and timely triage, include all demographic and clinical details as well as relevant investigation results.
If you are concerned about any delay of the appointment or if there is any deterioration in your patient’s condition, contact the service Registrar on call on (03) 9076 2000.
