LATEST UPDATE: Consultation Documentation Guidelines
Our Service has developed a set of RACF Documentation Guidelines. This valuable resource is designed to streamline the booking process, ensuring that all necessary documentation is correctly submitted with each booking. This initiative is aimed at reducing the need for follow-up calls, making our operations more efficient and user-friendly.
The RACF Documentation Guidelines can be found in the resources section.
