Booking appointments
Consultations are by appointment only, however, emergencies will be given priority treatment. We request that you limit each consultation to one health issue and if you feel that you need more than 15 minutes with your doctor, please request a longer consultation.
Cancellation Policy
Our practice requires a minimum of at least 2 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment, otherwise a late cancellation or failure to attend fee will apply (payable prior to any future appointments and not claimable through Medicare). Please ensure to let us know if your appointment is no longer required so we can offer it to other patients who may be unwell or require urgent review.
Family Medical Practice
We can provide for your whole family – our services include care for expectant mothers, newborns, and children of all ages (childhood vaccinations). We also are able to provide Driver’s Medicals, Insurance Medicals, 75+ Annual Health Assessments and Chronic Disease Management Plans.
Mixed Billing
Our doctors believe in providing the highest quality in patient care without compromise. We are a mixed billing medical practice and payment is expected on the day. Medicare rebates can be reimbursed within 48 hours via our electronic software HPOS (Health Professional online service).
