Management referral
If a manager has any concerns about the effects of:
- Work on an employee’s health
- An employee’s health on their ability to work
They should consider a referral to the occupational health service (OHS). OHS offers advice to managers and can assist employees with their health problems.
How to complete a management referral
Managers can complete a management referral using a new online portal system called OPAS-G2.
The online referral portal has replaced the downloadable forms that staff have previously completed and emailed across to the service.
Who can I contact for support in using this system?
If you have management responsibilities and have not had an OPAS-G2 account created, please get in touch with OHS team: [email protected]
Managers who have already used the system to complete Early Access Advice (EAA) will already be onboarded.
You can email [email protected] for help in completing a management referral using the new online system.
We have also created a user guide to help you submit a management referral and you can watch the video below.
Self-referral
Staff self-refer into Newcastle occupational health service by completing an online self-referral.
The online referral portal has replaced the downloadable forms that staff have previously completed and emailed across to the service.

This service is confidential, and your manager will not be informed if you choose to access support.
Your referral will be triaged by the clinical team and the most suitable appointment offered. You may be sent some information by email with links to support areas.
