Referrals

Private patients can be referred to Hospice by completing and submitting the PalCare referral form. 

Public patients will need to be referred to Great Southern Palliative Care Service.

Credentialing

Hospice has many local General Practitioners (GPs) credentialed to admit to Hospice. Most take sole care of their patients in Hospice with a few sharing the responsibility with others within their practice or with GP registrars. This means that patients receive a high level of continuity with their medical care and are afforded the opportunity to have care from a medical practitioner with whom they have a long standing relationship.

Hospice provides an environment where GPs with appropriate qualifications and experience can deliver safe, high quality palliative care services. The credentialing system supports this in a local process for reviewing the credentialing and scope of clinical practice applications for all doctors seeking to provide services within Hospice.
