Start with the referring clinic: ask where the referral was sent, whether it was accepted, and who to contact if nothing arrives. A referral request is not an appointment booking.

What still needs checking FADC cannot track a referral or confirm a specialist’s wait time. Only the referring or receiving service can check the actual request.
Where and when was my referral sent? Has it been accepted, who will contact me, and who should I call if I have not heard back by the agreed time?
A separate FADC navigation note, not a member reply or a clinic confirmation. General information, not medical advice. Share only non-identifying details in the public conversation; keep health information and documents private.
