A double appointment is required for any complex issue or more than one condition and is allocated 30 minutes.
An appointment is required to see a GP.

We encourage our patients to be part of our national recall system for screenings such as Breast Screening, Pap smears and Faecal Occult Blood Screening. Our nurses will contact patients to arrange appointments for ongoing diabetes and chronic disease checks and regular health check-ups.
For all test results, we encourage our patients to make a follow up appointment with the GP who ordered the test.
Please contact our clinic nurse if you have any queries on the follow-up of your test results.

Your optimum health care is important to us, therefore, all patients have a right and are encouraged to participate in decisions regarding their health care at all times. Please feel free to raise any concerns with your GP at the time of consult.

We take pride in delivering professional, comprehensive, high quality care to our patients.

In continuing this provision of quality services patients who do not qualify for Bulk Billing will be billed privately for their consultation.
