Every effort is made to keep waiting times at a minimum but due to daily demands and unforeseen delays, this is not always possible and your patience and understanding is appreciated.  If you think that your consultation requires some extra time, please tell the receptionist that a longer appointment is required. This practice does not discriminate against patients on the basis of their gender, race, disability, Aboriginality, age, sexual preference, language, religious or cultural beliefs or medical condition.  Please let us know if you or a family member requires an interpreter, sight or hearing services, so we can organise this for you prior to your appointment.

Home visits for existing patients only are arranged at the discretion of your GP.

Your GP will advise you when they expect your results to arrive at the practice.  The receptionist will be able to tell you if the results have returned and if they require urgent or non-urgent follow-up but they are not able to give you the result.  You may check on the results at your next consultation or you may ring and request our Registered Nurse to return your call to discuss your options.

Your GP may be contacted during normal surgery hours.  If they are with a patient, a message will be taken and the reception staff will advise you when it is likely that they will return your call.

MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration model that will enable patients to register with their regular general practice, preferred GP and primary care team to deliver greater continuity of care.

Registration in MyMedicare will provide a formal signal to your practice and your GP that you see them as your regular care team and will help them provide better coordinated and continuous healthcare.

Your MyMedicare practice and preferred GP will appear on your My Health Record, unless you choose not to display this, so other health professionals you may see – for example at public hospitals – will know who to talk to about your regular care.

Registration in MyMedicare will provide benefit to people who need access to longer telehealth consultations with their GP, for example older Australians, people who seek mental health care from their GP and people with chronic and complex health conditions. The triple bulk billing incentive will also apply to the longer telehealth items for registered patients who have a Commonwealth Concession Card or are under 16 years of age.

Our practice is committed to preventative care.  The Clinic will seek your permission to be included on our reminder system.  We may issue you with a reminder notice from time to time offering you preventative health services appropriate to your care.  If you do not wish to be part of this system please let your Doctor or our Receptionist know.
