Do I have to make an appointment or can I walk in?
The practice primarily works on an appointment basis. Please contact the practice on 8660 2100 to make an appointment or click here to book online. Walk-in patients are welcome however patients with appointments and emergencies are treated with priority.
Booking for long consultation?
We do standard 10-15 minutes appointments. Some services like pap smears, health assessments, skin checks, or if you have a number of complex concerns to discuss with your GP, may need longer appointments. Please advise when booking your appointments.
How to follow up with Diagnostic test results?
Test results are only given to the patient concerned, these results will be asked to make a follow-up appointment with your Doctor.
How to book in for pathology / blood test request?
So long as you have a pathology request form from your GP, no appointment is needed. Just visit the practice and see the onsite pathology collectors.
How do I organise work cover / workers compensation appointments?
Work cover patients will be treated the same as regular patients. These patients must inform their employer before their first consultation and provide an approved claim number related to their current case.
Patients privacy and confidentiality management?
The practitioners adhere to the AMA code of Ethics regarding Privacy and Confidentiality, please be assured that your medical records and consultations are kept in the strictest confidence.
