Supporting you to support your patients
This page is for GPs, surgeons, specialists, and other health professionals referring patients to Riverina Hand Therapy.
Here you'll find referral guides, patient resources, and everything you need to make the referral process straightforward.
How to refer
For most hand therapy appointments, a formal referral is not required — patients can self-refer. However, a referral or care plan is needed for Medicare Chronic Disease Management, DVA, and WorkCover claims.
If you're unsure, call us and we'll sort it out.
Referrals can be sent by email or phone.

We are here to help with diagnosing and lots of experience doing this every day. You are free to download the below guides.
