How to get a Bowral Hospital outpatient appointment

Bowral Hospital’s outpatient process is referral-based. The hospital states that it must receive and review the referral before making an appointment. An appointment cannot normally be made over the phone before the clinic has seen the referral.

The hospital’s Outpatient Centre opened in March 2025 and now brings together allied health, medical and nursing outpatient clinics in one location.

Outpatient referral steps

1. See your GP or treating clinician. Ask whether a Bowral Hospital outpatient referral is appropriate.
2. Send the referral to the clinic. Bowral Outpatients currently accepts referrals by fax, email or post.
3. Include accurate patient details. The hospital asks for the patient’s correct date of birth, phone number and address.
4. Wait for clinical review. The referral needs to be assessed before an appointment can be arranged.
5. Follow the hospital’s appointment instructions. Check the date, clinic location, preparation requirements and anything you need to bring.
