Cardiology Referral Process

Outpatient clinics take place daily during the working week (Monday to Friday). Each Cardiologist has two or three clinics per week.

There are special clinics for patients with Arrhythmias, Cardiomyopathy, Pulmonary Hypertension and for Post Transplant Follow-up, though new patients should usually be referred initially to a general cardiology clinic. These clinics are conducted by all the cardiologists.

Patient referrals may be addressed to individual cardiologists or to "Cardiology Department" and addressed to:

Dept of Cardiology
Royal Children's Hospital
Flemington Road
Parkville
VIC 3052

To arrange an appointment date / time, patients or doctors should phone the outpatient clinic appointments office on (03) 9345 6400. If difficulties are encountered in organising an appointment please call the department secretaries on (03) 9345 5717.

Alternatively (especially for urgent appointments) doctors may call individual cardiologists.
