Patients are required to produce a valid Medicare card together with any current concession cards upon arrival.

Patient Communications and Policies
It is always preferable to make an appointment to discuss your health concerns with the doctor or health provider face to face. In the event you need to communicate urgently with the doctor over the phone, the nurse or staff on duty may be called to liaise on your behalf. Although we take every precaution with IT security, we do not use encrypted emails and can not guarantee confidentiality of email correspondence.
MBS telehealth items introduced on a temporary basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have now been made permanent. Telephone consultations provided by GPs will continue. It remains a legislative requirement that GPs working in general practice can only perform a telehealth service where they have an established clinical relationship with the patient.
Confidentiality and Privacy
Maintaining your medical records in a secure manner is of the utmost importance to us. For more information, please read our privacy policy.
