Appointments & Results
Our doctors are committed to providing you with the very best care.
Our doctors are not able to provide prescriptions, medical certificates, referrals or any other documentation without a doctor’s appointment.
Results will not be discussed over the phone. This is to protect your privacy, and to provide you with follow up care.
Please make an appointment to follow up test results with your doctor.
Fees & Billing
We bulk bill most consultations except for medical consultations related to work injury and motor vehicle accident. Some procedures, wound dressings and prescriptions are charged privately.
The fee charged for procedures are subject to discussion between the patient and the treating doctor.
Medical examinations required for recreational, pre-employment or special driving licence cannot be bulk billed. These are charged privately.
Fees will be charged if an appointment is missed or cancelled without providing three hours notice of cancellation for that appointment. Fees must be paid before a further appointment can be made.
Medical Assessments
Extended medical assessments are offered once a year to elderly patients over the age of 75 to determine their medical and paramedical needs.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are routinely administered to children through the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register. Travel and other vaccinations are available for adults and we also offer the Gardasil vaccination program for the prevention of cervical cancer.
Preventative Medical Advice
Preventative medical advice will often be offered and “screening medical examinations” are recommended for patients who are interested in the early detection of serious medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, cervical cancer )(by means of regular Pap Smears), mental health conditions, and other chronic medical conditions.
