My Aged Care e-Referrals have been updated and improved.
GPs can refer their patients to My Aged Care from their electronic practice management systems via the e-Referral form. This form is one of many pathways into My Aged Care, and is especially useful for patients who need to provide their medical information to the assessor. It is used by over 1,000 practices around Australia.
GPs can access the e-Referral form from Best Practice, MedicalDirector and Genie practice management systems. The form is secure, easy to use and accessible through the patient’s electronic medical record. By pre-populating patient information, the focus is on screening the patient. This makes it the quickest and easiest way for GPs to refer patients to My Aged Care.
Alternatively, GPs and sector professionals can refer patients by:
- Calling My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.
- Using the referral webform.
Older Australians may also use the following options to refer themselves or on behalf of a family member or friend:
- Call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.
- Use the Apply for an assessment online form.
