Do I need a refferal to book into the homebirth program at Sunshine? I called last week and a grumpy old middie told me yes, I do. I don't actually HAVE a gp as we have moved, and I haven't seen my old one since before we moved into our previous place, she's ages away! I was under the impression that I didn't need a refferal In any case, the weather is so bad today, it looks like I'll have to cancel the appointment I have with some random Footscray gp at a dodgy looking bulk billing clinic (the only reason I made the appointment was for this silly refferal!)*

So, do I actually need one, despite what I was told?
