Outpatient clinics take place daily during the working week (Monday to Friday). Each Cardiologist has two or three clinics per week.
There are special clinics for patients with arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension and for post transplant follow-up, though new patients should usually be referred initially to a general cardiology clinic. These clinics are conducted by all the cardiologists.
Patient referrals may be addressed to individual cardiologists or to "Cardiology Department" and addressed to:
Dept of Cardiology

Flemington Road
Parkville
VIC 3052
