Promoting health in our community
Our Health Promotion Team aims to support health and wellbeing at the places our community spend their time.
This involves engaging with our diverse community to assist workplaces, sports and recreation facilities, early childhood services, schools, aged care facilities; including supported residential services and neighbourhood houses to identify, understand and explore opportunities to improve health and wellbeing.
We have adopted systems-thinking approaches to tackle population health priorities with our partners to capitalise on expert knowledge, share resources and skills to influence change on a larger scale.
Exclusion criteria
Compensable patients
We do not see patients who have access to TAC, DVA, WorkCover, and private health. These patients should seek services through these programs.
Refer your patient
Fax referral to us
Caulfield Access is responsible for intake, information and referral processing for a wide range of community and ambulatory services.
We accept referrals from GPs, specialists, family, carers, case managers and patients.
We also welcome phone enquiries to discuss potential referrals or an existing referral. Referrals are triaged depending on priority.
Patients requiring immediate assessment should be sent to the Emergency & Trauma Centre.
To refer a patient to a community service either:
- complete the Service Coordination Tool Template (SCTT) and submit electronically, or
- complete and fax your SCTT referral form to Caulfield Access Unit
Consider making referrals for chronic conditions indefinite.
Once a referral has been received, a Care Coordinator will phone the patient to discuss their needs and organise appropriate services. The Care Coordinator will provide the patient with their phone number. Patients are encouraged to contact the Care Coordinator if they have any concerns.
