An appointment for a standard consultation can be made with your preferred GP or the next available GP, depending on your preference.
Extended consultations are available on request. If you anticipate that your consultation will be long, please advise the reception staff when making your appointment or book a ‘double appointment’ if booking online.
SMS message reminders for appointment times are sent the day before your appointment.
APPOINTMENT / CONSULTATION TIMES:
Please specify which doctor you would like to see and the length of consultation that you require at the time of booking.
For care outside normal opening hours call 13 SICK or for emergencies call 000
Sometimes unplanned situations arise and you need to cancel an appointment. In that case, we respectfully request that you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. This enables us to allocate scarce appointments to other patients. Fees will apply.
If you need forms or certificates completed that require explanation, then please make sure you set up the appointment time to accommodate. For example, your GP can complete a medical certificate and this should be requested at the time of consultation.
If you require a special consideration certificate or rebate form from your health insurer, please bring the necessary paperwork to your consultation.
Doctors may be contacted via telephone during normal opening hours. If the doctor is with a patient, a message will be taken and the reception staff will advise you when it is likely that the GP will return your call. In an emergency your call will always be dealt with in an appropriate manner. For further information read our communication policy.
If you have concerns about any aspect of the service/s you’ve received, please email or talk to the Practice Manager or Director and discuss your concerns. We take complaints very seriously and will listen closely to your concerns or complaints as we are keen to constantly improve our services and help you stay well for longer.
We believe problems are best dealt directly with the practice. However, if you feel the need to discuss a matter outside the practice you can contact:
