Referral Expectations
If you need to see one of our specialists, and it is not ACC related, a referral from your GP or optometrist is preferred as your eye health information that comes with the referral is very useful to our ophthalmologists. However you can refer yourself or a family member directly and we will happily see you at one of our clinics.
If your eye health concern is ACC related you will need a referral from a GP or have all of the information about the injury available so we can complete the necessary paperwork.
Patients can read more of what to expect on your appointment in our Patient Information page.
GPs & optometrists can find more information and referral details here. Our referral e-mail address is or if you use Medtech 32 Specialist Referrals the eReferral will be received at the Hamilton Clinic. General referrals can be sent to Hamilton Eye Clinic rather than a specific doctor.
