Pathology and imaging referrals
Referrals often follow tests.
Specialist referrals, assessed and issued online
A specialist referral online removes a frustrating step from getting the care you need. At Horizon Health Care Partners, an AHPRA-registered practitioner assesses whether a specialist referral is appropriate and issues one where it is clinically justified. You avoid an extra appointment just to be pointed onward, and you keep your care moving.
How it works
How referrals work
Complete the free pre-screening quiz, book a consultation, and discuss your situation with a practitioner. Where a referral is appropriate, they issue it so you can arrange to see the relevant specialist. Your practitioner will also tell you if your situation needs an in-person assessment first.

An honest note
Referrals follow assessment
A referral is a clinical judgement, not a formality. Your practitioner issues one where it genuinely helps your care. If a referral is not the right next step, they will explain what is.

Why start with a telehealth consult
Why start online
Getting a referral often means booking a separate appointment just to be pointed onward, which wastes time when you already know you need specialist input. A telehealth consultation removes that step. Your practitioner reviews your situation, confirms that a referral is the right move, and issues it, all in one visit. They also make sure a referral is genuinely the best next step, and flag when an in-person assessment should come first.
