The CPC were developed by clinicians for use by referring health professionals, often General Practitioners, to assist with decisions about referral into public specialist outpatient services.
The CPC are clinical decision-making support tools that assist in ensuring referred patients are accepted and categorised based on standardised statewide clinical referral criteria.
