The Victorian government has named three regions chosen to pilot the state's $3.1 million eReferral program, which will trial the use of different secure messaging systems and create uniform referrals based on the National eReferral Reference Architecture (NeRRA).

Victorian Health Minister Jill Hennessy announced in April that the state budget would allocate money towards the program, which will trial eReferrals in the community and to the acute care sector.
