It is our pleasure to be working with our referrers to provide the most optimal outcomes for our patients through a co-management relationship.
Emergency cases
The Ballarat Eye Clinic has allocated in the bookings template specific appointment slots reserved for urgent/emergency cases. Should you require an urgent booking please have the doctor/optometrist contact us directly by phone and we will ensure that the patients will be fitted in. For after hours emergencies, please call 03-5333 1095 to determine the ophthalmologist on call.
Referrals
We appreciate your help in providing your patient with a valid referral including your details for correspondence to be sent back to you. Any relevants tests (Visual fields, OCT’s, photos, pathology CT & MRI results etc ) that have been performed would be most helpful and we would invite you to include these with your referral.
Should you not have a referral template, please feel free to download one below:
