GP Request for Advice - Mater eConsultant

Mater Hospital Brisbane offers a ‘Request for Advice’ (RFA) service to support GPs wanting access to specialist advice on diagnostic and/or treatment options for their patients.

The Mater eConsultant service is available for: endocrinology, cardiology, dermatology, respiratory and sleep, neurology, infectious diseases, renal and obstetric-medicine. 

This is not a referral to Mater, but is a request for timely clinical advice which may eliminate the need for a specialist face-to-face outpatient consultation.

The service uses the Medical Objects secure messaging platform and is asynchronous. GPs will receive feedback from the Mater eConsultant team within 3 business days.

Mater eConsultant is easily accessed using the templates below set up within the practice software system.

Email: [email protected] if you have any queries.
