Aurora Healthcare is committed to developing trusting relationships with staff, and partnering with Medical Practitioners as a key strategy in the ongoing development of our health care services.
Westmead Rehabilitation Hospital welcomes and invites Visiting Medical Officers and Allied Health Professionals to apply for accreditation to our facility. Please email your individual personal email address (not a shared practice email address) and your AHPRA number to westmead@aurorahealth.com.au to have a confidential discussion.
Aurora Healthcare utilises Equifax eCredential for clinical credentialing. This solution provides health practitioners with the ability to create and maintain their own clinical profile via a secure online interface. There is only a requirement to complete your profile once and then it can be updated as required. Equifax also provides you with the ability to share your profile.
Following discussions you will be provided with an application to credential. To commence the credentialing process, please follow these steps:
Upon receipt of your Equifax application the hospital’s Clinical Credentialing and Privileges Committee will, validate your credentials and once this process has satisfied the requirements under our by-laws, we offer you a letter to confirm visiting rights to the hospital.
Once credentialed, we will assist with the submission of a letters of support and facilitate the application process to Medicare to gain a provider number for you for the site.
The hospital will submit your applications to the private health insurers to register you to be eligible to be paid private health fund rates for your hospital work.
