Below is a list of the practising doctors services available to their patients. Please contact us if you need further information.
We offer both face-to-face and telehealth appointments.
Also please note on some days some doctors are working from home so they can only do telehealth appointments on those days, if you are unsure please check with reception.
To ensure we run an efficient and effective practice, we charge a penalty fee for patients who do not show up for their appointments or cancel late or for phone consults after making 3 attempts to call you. If you are unable to make your appointment, please inform us a minimum of 2 hours prior to the appointment time to avoid fee.
Since 1st July 2022 we have moved to private billing hence there will be out of pocket fee for most appointments. For kids 15 & under and concession card holders with an appointment most GPs bulk bill their visits. For the appointments that attract an out of pocket fee you will have to pay full fee on the day and claim any rebate back from Medicare. We can help you claim your Medicare rebate instantly if you have a plastic debit card linked to your savings/cheque account.
Please check our website fee section for more information.
