Specialist Clinics appointments, referrals, changes and waitlist rules

Clinics are generally open between 8.30am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday, but not every specialty runs every day, and clinics are closed weekends and public holidays.

Change or cancel appointment

  • Call 03 4215 1390 during business hours if you need to speak with staff.
  • Contact the clinic as soon as you know you cannot attend.
  • Barwon Health may be unable to change an appointment due to high demand; in that case, the appointment may be cancelled and you may go back onto the waiting list.
  • If you do not contact the clinic, you may be discharged from the service.

Referral pathway

  • Your GP or referrer sends a referral.
  • Barwon Health checks whether enough information is available.
  • The outcome of your referral is determined in eight days if all required GP information is available.
  • Accepted referrals are triaged as urgent or routine.
  • Urgent referrals are given an appointment date.
  • Routine referrals go on a waitlist.
  • A letter is sent to you and your referrer to confirm the outcome.

Appointment change form options

Option on official form Use it when Micro-step
Reschedule an in-person appointment You cannot attend the current date/time. Submit early; a new appointment may mean a longer wait.
Reschedule a telehealth appointment Your video or telephone appointment time no longer works. Check your phone, email and letter after submitting.
Cancel an in-person or telehealth appointment You no longer need the appointment or care has changed. If condition has changed, discuss with your GP first.
Request in-person to telehealth You want video or telephone instead of attending the hospital. Not every appointment can be safely changed to telehealth.
Request telehealth to in-person You need face-to-face review or cannot use telehealth. Use the form or call 03 4215 1390.

Before attending Specialist Clinics

Check this Why it matters Action
Clinic location University Hospital Geelong precinct has multiple nearby locations. Use the location listed on your appointment letter, such as Bellerine Centre, Paediatric Specialist Clinics, The Annexe or another Barwon Health site.
Referral status Incomplete referrals can delay triage. Ask your GP whether all requested medical information was sent.
Telehealth or in-person Telehealth enables appointment by video, but not every clinic visit is suitable. Check your SMS/letter and call if unclear.
Current medicines Barwon Health asks patients to keep an up-to-date medicine list. Bring a list of prescriptions, pharmacy medicines, supermarket/health-food products and recent medicine changes.
Interpreter or special needs Professional interpreters take time to arrange. Tell the clinic before arrival or when you arrive.
Parking time On-street parking has time limits and parking officers patrol the area. Ask someone to drive you, or use a mobile top-up app within the maximum time limit.
Doctor schedule safety: Barwon Health public pages do not provide a reliable day-by-day doctor roster for every Geelong Hospital clinic. Do not publish guessed doctor availability, session times or fees. Use the appointment letter, Specialist Clinics directory, clinic phone system or hospital switchboard to confirm the current treating team.

University Hospital Geelong services and care areas

Barwon Health says University Hospital Geelong provides health care across emergency, acute, mental health, primary care, community services, aged care and sub-acute/rehabilitation.

Parking, public transport, taxi and disabled permit rules

Parking around University Hospital Geelong is limited and mainly City of Greater Geelong controlled metered parking. Barwon Health warns that parking officers regularly patrol the area and patients/visitors risk infringement notices if vehicles are parked illegally or beyond time limits.

Public transport and taxi

Transport option Official detail Practical tip
Bus Nearest bus stops to University Hospital Geelong are on Ryrie Street and Little Ryrie Street. Barwon Health lists McHarrys Buslines, CDC Victoria and V/Line for information. Use live route/timetable tools before travelling because hospital appointments can finish later than expected.
Taxi Taxi pick-up/drop-off points include University Hospital Geelong Bellerine Street main entrance, Andrew Love Cancer Centre, Kardinia House and Swanston Centre. Geelong Taxi Network phone is 131 008. Useful if parking time limits are risky for long appointments.
Friend/family drop-off Barwon Health suggests asking someone to drive you and pick you up, or having someone accompany you so the vehicle can be moved if needed. Best option for uncertain appointment length or cancer/specialist visits.

On-street parking zones around the hospital

Street area Listed time limit What to remember
Swanston Street, east side between Ryrie and Myers Streets 2 hours Good only if appointment/check-in/waiting time will fit within the limit.
Bellerine Street, both sides between Ryrie and Myers Streets 2 hours Main entrance area can be busy; read meter signs carefully.
Myers Street, north side between Bellerine and Swanston Streets 3 hours May suit medium appointments but still risky for delays.
Myers Street, south side between Bellerine and Swanston Streets 4 hours Better for longer appointments if available.
Swanston Street, west side between Myers and Ryrie Streets 4 hours Longer option, but still maximum-time controlled.
Private short-term parking Various areas close to hospital Check current signs and private car park rates on arrival.

Concession and disabled permit notes

Parking support Verified detail Action
Public car park concessions Barwon Health says concession or free exit tickets can be provided to vulnerable patients and visitors when required. Ask the ward reception desk at University Hospital Geelong.
Who may qualify Long/frequent stays, concession or pension card holders and DVA card holders are listed as vulnerable patients/visitors. Bring relevant card/documentation.
Concession rate Barwon Health lists concession rate as $4 per visit. Strictly restricted and dependent on attendance frequency.
Free parking support Can be offered in limited cases depending on frequency. Ask ward reception rather than assuming eligibility.
Category 1 Blue Disabled Permit Barwon Health says Category 1 permit holders can park for double the allocated time they have paid for at any metered parking space, in addition to designated disabled spaces. Still pay/read signs and do not assume unlimited parking.
Parking infringement appeal If compassionate circumstances make meter monitoring difficult, Barwon Health directs people to City of Greater Geelong. Council may review an appeal with a statutory declaration about exceptional circumstances. Keep appointment/emergency evidence if appealing a fine.

Visiting hours, after-hours access and visitor rules

Visitor topic Verified detail Practical step
General visiting hours University Hospital Geelong wards are generally 10am to 8pm. Check with the ward for patient-specific needs, rest periods or restrictions.
After 8pm access University Hospital Geelong is secured at 8pm each evening. Visitors arriving after 8pm may access the hospital via the Emergency Department.
Outside-hours visits Next of kin, identified support person or family may visit outside standard hours with approval from the nurse in charge. Call the ward before travelling outside normal hours.
Visitors per bedside The number of visitors is determined with the patient, family and care team based on medical, emotional and psychological needs. In multi-bed rooms, space and ward activity may limit visitors.
Guide for special areas Special Care Nursery, ICU, Coronary Care Unit and Emergency Department may allow a guide maximum of two visitors per bedside when clinically appropriate. Ask staff before bringing multiple visitors.
24-hour visitation areas Birth Suite, Paediatrics/Special Care Nursery, Emergency Department and ICU have area-specific guidance. ICU arrangements are at Nurse Unit Manager discretion. Do not assume general ward rules apply to these areas.
When not to visit Visitors who are unwell, have an infection or respiratory/flu-like symptoms are encouraged not to attend or to leave if already on-site. Protect patients by delaying your visit.
Flowers and gifts Flowers and gifts can be delivered to patients. Check unit restrictions first for ICU, special care or infection-control areas.

Medicare, private patient liaison, parking concessions and Medicare-ineligible fees

Geelong Hospital is a public hospital. For Medicare-eligible public patients, many public hospital services are covered through public hospital arrangements, but some fees can still arise depending on Medicare status, private patient choice, pharmacy, medical imaging, ambulance, equipment, interpreter charge for Medicare-ineligible patients, or non-Medicare billing.

Medicare-ineligible contact

Barwon Health’s Medicare-ineligible PDF lists Private Patient Liaison contacts as 03 4215 1307 and 03 4215 1305, with email pls@barwonhealth.org.au.

Concession parking

Barwon Health lists a $4 per visit concession rate for vulnerable patients/visitors, including long/frequent stays, concession or pension card holders and DVA card holders, requested via ward reception.

Urgent Care cost

Barwon Health North Urgent Care Centre has no out-of-pocket expense for Medicare-eligible patients. Ambulance transfer fees may apply if transfer to University Hospital Geelong is required.

FOI cost note

Barwon Health says FOI health record access will likely have a charge. The application fee may be waived for applicants providing a certified Social Security card copy.
