How you can access our serviceInpatient Services
Inpatient Services are provided in hospital. Admission to the rehabilitation wards is by doctor’s referral only. This may be through
admission to the Emergency Department, an acute care ward, another hospital or care facility, or
directly from the community through the general practitioner.
Community Services
Any client, family member, friend or health service provider can make a referral to the Aged
Care Assessment Team, Dementia Services, Hip Protector project, or the Continence Advisory
Service. Bernard Curran Unit, Rehabilitation Discharge Team, and Community Equipment Services may
require a referral from a doctor or an occupational therapist, depending on the service required.
