Referrals and resources
Our two HealthPathways websites contain up-to-date, localised guidelines and clinical pathways to support you in managing your patients. The HealthPathways website for your area is your first port of call for clinical and referral information.
Referring your patients to PHN funded services
For any PHN-funded service requiring a GP referral, please use our electronic referral system, refeRHEALTH.

refeRHEALTH also allows referrers to see the up-to-date list of available providers and services.

Hospitals and Health Services across the Darling Downs and West Moreton region use GP Smart Referrals as their preferred method for receiving referrals from general practices
What is GP Smart Referrals?
GP Smart Referrals are electronic referral templates for Queensland Health Outpatient Specialties that streamline the referral process by auto-populating patient demographics and clinical records. Integrated with Best Practice and Medical Director software, they align with state-wide referral guidelines to ensure essential information is included, reducing the need for follow-ups and speeding up triage.
