Management referral
If a manager has any concerns about the effects of work on an employee’s health, or the effects of an employee’s health on their ability to work: referral to OHS should be considered. OHS offers advice to managers and can assist employees with their health problems.
From Monday 18 August, managers will be able to complete a management referral using a new online portal system called OPAS-G2
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 onto the system.
Self-referral
Staff self-refer into Newcastle Occupational Health Service by completing an online self-referral.
The online referral portal will replace the downloadable self-referral forms that staff have previously completed and emailed across to the service.
You can make a referral into the service by selecting one of the following categories.
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.
Who can I contact for support in using this system?
You can email [email protected] for help in completing a self-referral using the new online system.
We have also created a user guide to help you submit a self-referral and you can watch the video below.
