Medicare:
Please ensure you post / deliver any Medicare cheques made payable to the doctor as soon as you get them. Please notify the staff of any changes in name, address, phone number, Medicare number, pension number or any other details. To have your Medicare rebate directly credited into your bank account on the same day, you will need to bring your EFTPOS card and Medicare card with you on the day of your consultation.
Practice policy is for patients to attend the surgery to discuss the results of all investigations (blood tests, xrays etc) performed. We find this is the most reliable and effective way to communicate the results to you and gives you an opportunity to ask questions of your doctor
Appointments are always available on the day and every endeavour will be made for you to see your doctor of choice however we cannot guarantee this. A doctor is always available to see all urgent and emergency cases which will naturally be given priority.
If you need a long consultation, please inform the reception staff when booking your appointment.
Some examples of times when a long consultation may be required are for pap smears, immunisations, insurance consultations & medicals. Please inform the reception staff if you require an appointment for more than one family member.
Telephone consultation can be used for quick scripts, to get results and for recurring referrals. If you don’t have a health care card, a pension card, or are under the age of 16, there will be a $70.00 charge for a telephone consultation, with Medicare paying $39.75 of that amount.
