Fast Access Re-Entry (FARE) Pathway

We are piloting a Fast Access Re-Entry (FARE) Pathway for patients that have recently been discharged from our Neurosurgery service and require further specialist treatment or follow up for the same presenting problem. GPs can select the FARE Pathway when completing our eReferral form.

Refer your patient via eReferral

  • Completed referrals are sent securely to the department or clinic selected

Fax referral to us

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.

If a patient requires surgery, they will be placed on a surgical waiting list. The patient may also need to attend a Pre-Admission Clinic prior to surgery.

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.
