How We Can Help

These are designed in consultation with your doctor for patients with chronic medical conditions. The plan is designed especially for you to help reduce health risks that have been identified.  This may involve other allied health specialist such as dieticians, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, clinical psychologists or diabetic educators working with you. Such consults would either be partially or fully covered by Medicare.

Appointments

Appointments are essential.  Usually 15-minute appointments are allocated.  If you require a longer appointment, please inform the receptionist when making your booking.  In the exception of an emergency, if we are not informed that you require a longer appointment it may be necessary to make another appointment to deal with all your problems.

 We try to run on time but this is not always possible and we apologise for any delay.  We also encourage patients to ring ahead of their appointment to check the doctor’s progress, we understand your time is important. We do keep a few appointments available for urgent problems each morning and afternoon.

Please advise the receptionist if more than one person in your family needs to be seen, as more than one appointment time is usually required.

Complete medical checkups, insurance, aviation medicals, driving, pre- employment medicals and surgical procedures will always require a longer appointment.  Please advise what type of medical you need performed when booking.
