Our receptionists will determine the nature of the call and decide whether to put you through, or take a message. We appreciate your understanding.

Legally under the Medicare Act, a referral to a specialist is only given after due consideration by the treating physician. Therefore, you’ll need to consult with your doctor for a referral.

As per our practice policy, we recommend the patient book a follow up appointment with your doctor to discuss results.

If there are any urgent results, a doctor will contact the patient to make an appointment. The patient will be contacted by the reception team by telephone if the doctor requires the patient to return for a non-urgent follow up.

You’re responsible for the safekeeping of your X-rays. They’re important to your ongoing medical care and are often required for future appointments with our doctors and other specialists.

If you have had an uncollected X-ray, please ask Reception at your next appointment.

A consultation is needed for all repeat prescriptions as per legal constraints and best practice procedures.

If a doctor has arranged for a repeat prescription to be left at reception a $20 fee will be payable.

Our clinic provides home visits. A home visit is made at the doctor’s discretion to known patients if appropriate (within our normal operating hours) when attendance at the surgery may be physically impossible.
