Practice Information
Hours, Consultations and Billing
Our hours are subject to change, please check google for our most up to date hours.
We are a mixed billing practice. When making appointments, please mention if you are likely to need a longer consultation (Pap tests, multiple issues and such). For services not rebatable by Medicare, a list of charges appears at reception. Home visits are available if required. Our locum service for after hours and home visits can be contacted 0414 696 894.
Telephone Calls
When test results arrive back at our clinic they are first assessed by the doctor and prioritised as either normal-no action, abnormal-no action, abnormal-non urgent, or abnormal-urgent. When results are assessed as non-urgent or urgent, our clinic team members will attempt to contact the patient to arrange an appointment for the patient to re-visit the doctor. Patients are encouraged to have their results reviewed in person with the doctor. Should a patient wish to telephone the doctor about a clinical matter, unless the need is assessed by the practice staff as urgent, the practice nurse will attempt to satisfy the query or have the doctor ring the patient back when convenient.
Complaints, Suggestions and Compliments
These matters can be addressed by patients with the practice team or doctor in any respectful manner with which they are comfortable. The Practice Manager is available to discuss any issues that patients wish to raise concerning our clinic. If any complaint is made about an individual team member, then that team member will be advised and given an opportunity to respond. We provide a suggestion box and a proforma for patients to lodge appropriate comments (anonymously if so desired). All issues raised will be considered and appropriate feedback given when practical.
Patients are encouraged to raise any concerns with our practice team so that the issues can be hopefully resolved to everybody’s satisfaction. If patients are unhappy with an outcome they are able to raise the matter of their concerns with the following bodies:
