Care usually starts with a worried family message, a hospital discharge plan, or a GP referral. CareLink turns that messy moment into a clear clinical pathway at home.

For families

Reassurance,
and a clear next step.

1
Reach out

Send a request online and a senior nurse takes it from there, not a call centre.

2
Clinical assessment at home

We review the discharge plan, the wounds, the medications and the home setting, then explain everything in plain language.

3
A clear plan, shared

You know who is coming, what they are doing and why. Your GP stays in the loop the whole way.

For referrers

Clinical confidence,
close to home.

Secure referral intake

Referrals by form, fax or phone, with discharge summaries handled confidentially.

Prompt clinical review

Every referral is reviewed by a senior nurse and triaged on clinical need.

Structured updates

Progress notes, wound imaging and escalations flow back to you, not into a void.

One clinical contact

A named senior nurse who knows the patient and stays across the case.

Refer a patient
Local by design

The team your GP, neighbour or discharge planner would actually recommend.

GP relationships

We work as an extension of the patient’s GP, never around them. Orders are followed, changes are reported, and nothing happens in the dark.

Hospital discharge

Discharge planners refer to CareLink when a plan needs clinical hands at home from the first morning, not a brochure.

Veterans & DVA families

DVA community nursing delivered with the respect veterans and their families expect, under the DVA pathway your GP already knows.

Word of mouth

Far North Queensland is a small place. We work like everyone will hear about it, because they will.
