Digital referral pathways for Pregnancy Care at SWSLHD

Referral pathways for pregnancy care in South Western Sydney have transitioned from the BiMP platform to Consultmed.

From the 25th August 2026, the BiMP platform will no longer be accessible and all referrals including patient self referrals will be through Consultmed.

Please remove any advice or QR codes relating to BiMP in your services.

The below links and resources can be used and displayed in their place.

We appreciate your support for the timely referral of pregnant women in South Western Sydney

1. For GPs or other healthcare providers

Please speak with your GP/specialist and ask them to submit your referral through Consultmed.

GPs can use their Practice Management software, or can create a free, secure account or log in at: https://app.consultmed.co/

2. For patient self referral

If you already have a referral letter, you can upload it directly through the SWSLHD self referral portal using the below link.

If you do not have a referral, you can complete a pregnancy self-referral form to initiate pregnancy care using the same link.

Submit your patient self-referral here: https://app.consultmed.co/refer/swslhd

Please make sure your referral includes your details, relevant clinical information and any supporting documents, such as imaging or test results.

Once submitted, your referral will be reviewed by the relevant hospital team. You may be contacted if more information is required.
