Mater Queensland eConsultant
Specialist advice in 3 days
Mater Queensland eConsultant offers a ‘Request for Advice’ (RFA) service to support GPs wanting access to specialist cardiology, dermatology (adult and paediatric), endocrinology, haematology, nephrology, neurology, obstetric medicine and respiratory and sleep medicine.
This is not a referral to Mater but is a request for timely clinical advice which may eliminate the need for a specialist face-to-face outpatient consultation.
The service uses the Consultmed digital platform and is asynchronous. GPs will receive feedback from the Mater Queensland eConsultant team within 3 business days.
Mater Queensland eConsultant is easily accessed via Consultmed. Instructions for set-up can be found below.
How Mater Queensland eConsultant works

Consultmed is available through the sidebar widget. The system is pre-installed and only needs to be set up once by each GP. The widget appears on the right side of your screen and can be pinned so it stays visible whenever you’re working.
