Referral processCommencing in April 2025, we have a new child and adolescent psychiatrist accepting referrals. Otherwise please be advised that most of our practitioners are not accepting new referrals. Refer to individual practitioner web pages for more details. We will update our website if this changes.
In order to see a psychiatrist, you must get a written referral prepared by a general practitioner, or another medical specialist. Please ensure your referral includes enough detail in order for our psychiatrists to make an informed decision regarding the referral. Once received, referrals will be triaged and reviewed by the relevant psychiatrist. If accepted, the rooms will contact you to organise an initial appointment. If we are unable to accept the referral or require further information, we will be in contact with the referring doctor. Please note that referrals are accepted on a case-by-case basis. Please email your referral directly to ehadmin@erictonhouse.com.au, or fax it to 03 9497 1498. Due to the high number of referrals we receive, it can take around two weeks to process your referral. Please be patient with our team. We do not accept eating disorder or adult ADHD referrals, as none of our psychiatrists currently specialise in these areas. We are currently unable to accommodate URGENT referrals. Given we do not have a clinical psychologist at the practice, we do not accept Mental Health Care Plans. Please note that we are not a crisis service. In crisis, please call 000, attend your nearest emergency department, or contact your local area Mental Health Service. |
