ReferralNet was built to move patient data as fast and safely as the care that depends on it. Over two decades, we’ve grown from an Electronic Discharge Referral pilot into one of Australia’s most trusted secure messaging networks – supporting thousands of healthcare providers from solo allied health practitioners to major hospital systems.
What started as an Electronic Discharge Referral System project has grown into one of the most connected healthcare messaging networks in Australia.
Global Health Limited was established as a software company serving Australian health providers. Over the following decades it grows into a publicly listed company (ASX: GLH) with a portfolio of connected health solutions.
Global Health launches ReferralNet in 2002 to support discharge referrals between hospitals and community providers; replacing paper and fax with encrypted electronic messaging.
ReferralNet now supports healthcare providers of every size. From solo practitioners in regional areas to major hospital networks in capital cities. One of only three fully compliant Australian Secure Message Delivery vendors, meeting HL7 v2, CDA and FHIR standards. Built into MasterCare+ as standard and integrated with Best Practice, Medical Director, Genie and more.
Why Australian healthcare providers choose ReferralNet over generic communication tools.
ReferralNet meets all three interoperability standards required for Secure Message Delivery in Australian healthcare; HL7 v2, CDA and FHIR.
Send full clinical documents (referral letters, results, discharge summaries, imaging reports) without being charged per page. Unlike some competitors who restrict payload size or charge for larger documents, all ReferralNet plans include unlimited document types.
Entry plans start at $15/month/+GST for individual practitioners and small practices. Enterprise solutions scale to hospitals and health networks with multi-site installations and custom volume pricing.
Data stays in Australia. Our parent company Global Health Limited is headquartered in Melbourne and publicly listed on the ASX. And our pricing starts at $15/month with no hidden fees.
