What Health Services Are Provided For Older People?
All referrals for a Geriatrician assessment or the POPs service must come from your General Practitioner (GP).
Anyone can ask for a Needs Assessment to look at how they can be more able to manage in the community. However, if they have never been seen by the Health of Older People service or if there has been a significant change in their capabilities, a new medical review by a GP, Practice Nurse or specialist will be required.
Before referral, we recommend reading the criteria for access to funded support services listed below.
Contact can be via phone: (09) 430 4131
Information or referrals from primary care should be through the electronic referral system.
