We are always welcoming new patients. Prior to your first appointment, you will be required to complete our New Patient Registration Form.

A short appointment (10-15 minutes) is required if you have a single non-urgent condition or routine problem to consult with your doctor.

We request that you book a longer appointment (20-30 minutes) if you have a complex problem or multiple issues to attend to, or require detailed forms to complete. This assists the doctors to appropriately attend to your needs and helps prevent lengthy waiting times for other patients.

You can book your appointment online via your phone or computer. Simply click on any of the “Book Appointment” buttons on the website and follow the prompts.

Please make an appointment with your doctor to have these services completed. If you are unable to make a time to have these attended to, a fee can be paid to have your doctor complete a request for scripts or referrals with a days’ notice to complete the request.

Please make an appointment to follow-up test results ordered by your doctor. This includes radiological tests such as X-rays and scans. Most routine test results are available 48hrs after they are requested. Some results require more time to be available and generally your doctor will advise you if a longer wait applies to your tests. Results will generally not be provided over the telephone. Urgent abnormal test results will be brought to your attention by a doctor or one of our staff members. However, the follow-up of your test results is your responsibility and we recommend arranging your follow-up appointment at the time of your test being undertaken.

As a commitment to providing a quality preventative medical service, our practice will from time to time send out an invitation to participate in a preventative health screening appointment or activity appropriate to your care. Please contact our friendly reception staff to make an appointment to participate in any invitation received or to receive further information. If you do not wish to participate in our reminder service please let our reception staff know.

Please advise our receptionist staff as early as possible if you need to cancel or change your appointment as this will allow other patients access to a doctor. This is especially important during busy peak times such as winter cold and flu season and busy periods at the start and the end of the week. We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee for missed appointments. We reserve the right to not allow future appointments to be made if more than 3 are missed without notification.

In the event our centre is closed, your call will be diverted to the National Home Doctor Service. The direct number for this service is 13-DRSICK or 13-7425.

To give each patient the best consultation possible, doctors prefer not to be interrupted by phone calls. Practice staff are happy to take a message and the doctor or nurse will return your call as soon as they are available.

Our staff are able to arrange an interpreter to assist you or a family member when attending your consultation. Please let our staff know if you require this service at the time you book your appointment. A longer appointment will generally be required if using this service.

 

For more details about interpreter services, please visit the TIS website.
