Referral process
Please provide a written referral for your patient before her first appointment at TasWomen by TasOGS. Referrals from GPs are valid for 12 months from the date of referral, and for 3 months from other specialists.
Completed referrals may be faxed to the TasWomen practice on 03 6234 9216, emailed to reception@tasogs.com or sent electronically via Argus.
A TasWomen receptionist will contact your patient directly with her appointment details and TasWomen practice information once a referral has been received.
