Appointments

Consultations are by appointment, but the first available doctor will see urgent cases. Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferred time. If the requested doctor is unavailable, one of the other doctors' at our Practice may be available to see you and will, with your permission, communicate any necessary information to your usual doctor.

If your appointment is for other than a standard consultation, please tell the receptionist when you make an appointment so that extra time can be allowed (ie; several or complex problems, initial visit for a work-related injury or motor vehicle accident, medical report, pre-employment examination or a procedure.)

We try very hard to adhere to our appointment schedules. However the unpredictable nature of medical practice is such that doctors will sometimes run behind time. We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused to patients when we are running behind with our appointment schedule.

Referrals, Repeat Prescriptions and Test Results

Appointments are required for anyone requesting a referral, prescription or medical certificate. Our Medical Practice has policies and procedures to ensure the appropriate management of test results and recalls. It is recommended that patients make a follow up appointment with a doctor to discuss test results to protect your privacy and provide follow up care.

Reminder Management System

As our practice is committed to preventative care, we may send you an occasional reminder regarding health services appropriate to your care. If you wish to opt out of this please let us know.

Fee Schedule

All consultations covered by Medicare are bulk billed. There is a private fee for medical consultations related to Work Injury, TAC, Medical reports and Pre-employment medicals.

Missed Appointments

We appreciate a minimum of 3 hours notice for cancellation of your appointment. You may incur a fee if you do not tell us that you cannot attend your appointment.

Parking and Access

Client car parking facilities are available on site. Disabled parking spaces are located on the street near the front entrance of the building. A wheelchair is available from reception for use by those with limited mobility.
