Privacy

We are committed to ensuring that the privacy of your personal information is respected and maintained at all times.

Appointments & Billing Policy

GP consultations are by appointment in advance to ensure that you receive timely and personalised medical care. We may accept walk-in patients, availability may vary and scheduled appointments allow us to better accommodate your needs and minimize wait times.

If you are an existing patient at the clinic Telehealth appointments are also available. Please advise reception when booking.

We are a mixed billing practice with both private and bulk billed services. Full payment is required at the time of your consultation. We accept credit/debit cards, AMEX , EFTPOS and cash payments.

We offer on-the-spot Medicare rebate processing. We will process your Medicare claim and the rebate amount will be refunded directly into your nominated bank account linked to your Medicare details.

All appointments which involve a procedure must inform reception and request a longer appointment and additional fees may occur. Our doctor will discuss these costs with you prior to any procedure, ensuring transparency and informed decision making.

Communication & Results

Please contact reception to book in for a follow up appointment to discuss your results with the doctor.
