Repeat Referrals
We've made it simple to order your repeat referral online for your convenience.
For your ease, you can now request repeat referrals online.
Our online repeat referral service is perfect if:
You've had a referral to your specialist from Merrylands Family Centre in the last 18 months, and it's time for a renewal.
You've misplaced your referral and need a new copy.
You've visited us in the last 6 months and have a continuing relationship with your GP here at Merrylands Family Centre.
Please note that for referrals to specialists you haven't seen before through us, or for renewing or reviewing mental health care plans, it's best to book an appointment.
Please allow about 5 business days for your doctor to review and process your online referral request. Our GPs can't backdate referrals, so if you need one sooner, please book an appointment.
Our friendly reception team isn't able to speed up online referral requests, so if you need it urgently, they'll recommend booking an appointment.
There is a $35.00 fee for this online repeat referral service.
How it works
When you request a referral online, your caring GP at Merrylands Family Practice will just take a look at your medical history to make sure a repeat referral is right for you.
We'll send you a secure SMS within about 5 business days to let you know if your request has been approved.
When you make your request, you can choose the most convenient way to receive your referral: by email, by picking it up from Merrylands Family Practice , or we can even fax it directly to your specialist.
To submit your request, you'll need to enter your credit card details, but you'll only be charged the $35.00 fee if your request is approved.
If, for any reason, your request isn't approved, we'll send you a quick SMS to let you know and suggest booking an appointment.
Easy referral amendments and reprints
If you need a reprint of your referral (maybe you've lost it!) or if you need to change who it's addressed to (perhaps due to wait times), just fill out our online enquiry form here.
We want to make this easy for you – there's no fee to reprint or amend the addressee on your referral.
