Referrals

Referrals to The District Nursing are to be faxed to Tasmanian Care Point, a central referral centre. Referral can be made by:
  • self referral;

  • a family member;

  • a friend;

  • a doctor;

  • hospitals;

  • other health and welfare services.

Once the referral has been received by Care Point a consultant shall phone the client to conduct an assessment over the phone. 

The referral is faxed to The District Nurses; members of the staff shall contact the referred client to arrange a time for a full assessment of service needs (new clients) or services reactivated for those who have been admitted to hospital.
