Did not attend, or cancel under 3 hours
A fee of $45 applies if you do not attend your appointment or telehealth, or if you fail to cancel with less than 3 hours’ notice. This is not covered by Medicare. If you cannot keep an appointment, please tell us as soon as possible, preferably with 24 hours’ notice, so the time can be given to someone else.

All patients are required to pay accounts in full on the day of consultation. From 1 July 2023 an additional $5 is added to the gap if an account is not paid in full on the day.
Concession
A discounted fee is available for concession card holders and children 16 years of age and under.

Ask reception.

We are not a walk-in clinic. Consultations are conducted by prior appointment. A standard appointment is 15 minutes.
Please let the receptionist know if you require a longer appointment. Longer appointments will be necessary for insurance, employment and driver’s medicals, removal (excision) of skin lesions, full medical checks and complex medical problems. Appointments should also be booked with our practice nurses.
Home visit appointments are at the discretion of the doctor. Appointments can be made outside our standard opening hours by prior arrangement with the receptionist. To enable us to plan our schedules it is appreciated if you notify us as early as possible of any requests for home visits or cancellations.
Urgent, not an emergency
If you have an urgent medical situation that does not require an ambulance or hospital attention, please come to the clinic to be seen by the first available doctor.
Test results
Patients are required to make an appointment to discuss the results of any investigations such as blood tests and x-rays unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Sickness certificates
Sickness certificates will not be issued without a doctor’s consultation.
Immunisations
Routine immunisations are available for both children and adults. An appointment is necessary with the nurse and your doctor, so please tell reception. Special immunisations require prior discussion with your doctor.
After hours
In an emergency, call 000.
When the practice is closed, call 8269 1900. The call is directed to the Hello Home Doctor service for a locum. There may be a fee. The service sends the clinic a copy of the visit.
