Our Services

APPOINTMENTS

Some of the Doctors provide appointments and some run their sessions as an open clinic to maximize availability.  In general, appointments are made available for particular issues such as minor surgery, medicals and patients with complex medical problems. Extended appointments may be arranged by discussion with your doctor or with reception staff.

If you can not make it to an appointment, please phone the clinic to let us know.  Patients who fail to attend 3 appointments in a short period of time without notification will be refused future appointments and asked to attend Open Clinics only.

EMERGENCIES

All emergencies (eg: chest pain, breathlessness, seizures, bleeding etc) are treated with urgency.

If you feel your medical situation is urgent, please inform the staff as soon as you arrive.

FEES AND BILLING ARRANGEMENTS

This clinic routinely bulk bills DVA card holders, Pension card holders over 65 years of age and and all children under the age of 16. Any variances to these billing practices are at our Doctor’s discretion.

The standard consultation fee for private patients seeing a General Practitioner is $85 and longer consultations will incur a fee of $135.

IMG doctors have longer consultations and charge a lower fee for consultations.

Australian citizens who hold a Medicare Card will receive a rebate for these consultations. Private Medical Examinations will incur a fee of $99 including GST.

*Please Note: Longer appointments, complex or additional services (such as ECG’s, Pregnancy tests or Minor Surgery) may incur additional charges.

HOME VISITS

Home visits are available for regular patients of the practice, who live in the Northern Suburbs and are unable to attend the surgery due to severe medical reasons or lack of mobility.  Home visits must be authorised by the treating practitioner.

To arrange a home visit please contact the clinic before 12:00pm

TELEPHONE CALLS

If calling for results, the receptionist will usually be able to help you by letting patients know when checked results require a follow up or have been marked as no action required. When a result has not yet been checked or a patient is requesting specifics about a result over the phone, a message will be left with the practitioner who ordered the tests. Reception may then inform the patient of the practitioner’s response.  In some cases the practitioner may request a follow up appointment to discuss the results.  If you wish to speak to a practitioner,  a message may be left for the practitioner.  In an urgent situation you will be put straight through.

RECALLS AND NATIONAL REGISTERS

The practice is committed to providing preventative care. Reminder notices may be issued from time to time offering patients preventative health services appropriate to their care. If you do not wish to be part of the system, please advise reception or your doctor.

The practice also encourages the use of national registers (such as the National Pap Smear Register, Bowel Cancer Screening Register and the Australian Childhood Immunisation register) and may contact patients regarding reminders sent to us by these registers.

Medical records are confidential documents, it is a policy of the clinic to maintain security of personal health information at all times and to ensure this information is available only to authorised personnel.
