What we do

Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries of your lungs and right side of your heart.

We provide specialised treatment for symptoms management, as well as treating the progression of the disease.

How to access this clinic

Referral from your doctor

To be seen in one of our specialist outpatient clinics you need to be referred by your GP, another specialist doctor or your Bayside Health doctor.

Your referral will need to be emailed to op.referrals@alfred.org.au or faxed to (03) 9076 6938.

If you have a mobile number, SMS confirmation that we have received your referral as soon as we enter it into our system.

This is usually within 24-48 hours. If you do not have a mobile number you will receive this notification via post.

Your referral will then be reviewed by a doctor or nurse to determine how urgently care needs to be provided.

Depending on the clinical urgency of your medical condition we will then contact you to advise of an appointment time or that you have been placed on a waiting list for an appointment.
