Your Appointment

You will need a current referral for your appointment. This may be from your GP or another referring doctor. Please contact us if you are unsure if this has been sent.

It is helpful for your doctor if you bring an up to date list of your medications, especially if it is your first appointment.

The staff try to run on time wherever possible. However, given the unpredictable nature of healthcare, sometimes there may be a wait prior to your appointment.

We understand that unexpected cancellations sometimes need to be made. If you are unable to make your appointment, please advise us with as much notice a possible. We will be happy to reschedule your appointment to a more convenient time.

Outpatient Services:

• Most of the outpatient services attract a partial medicare rebate, however an out of pocket fee (a gap) will usually apply.

Inpatient Services:

• None of the doctors charge a gap for inpatient services. However, sometimes there will be fees charged by other doctors and the hospital which may not be completely covered by your private health insurance.
