Referral to VFPMS
Rural & Regional VFPMS Claim Form
Information in this section is to guide professionals from Child Protection,
Victoria Police and Health in understanding how the VFPMS service works,
how decisions are made and how to contact the service.
In Melbourne, regular outpatient clinics are available at the Royal Children’s
Hospital and Monash Medical Centre (see Contacts). Children who
require a non-urgent assessment may be offered an appointment
during working hours. Children who require an urgent evaluation
may be offered an after hours service by the multidisciplinary
team. Criteria determine whether an after hours service is required
(see flow
diagram). At both hospitals, the VFPMS is
integrated with services provided in the Departments of Emergency
Medicine and the wards.
The Regional and Rural VFPMS is currently under development.
