Consultation is by appointment except in case of accidents and emergencies we do accept walk ins. Weekday appointments are made at 10 minutes intervals. If you require a longer consultation please notify the staff when making your appointment and to avoid unnecessary waiting, notify reception on arrival.

Emergency clinics are held at 9:00am on Sundays and selected Public Holidays, appointments are not required at these clinics. Text message reminders are sent with patient authority at 9:00am the day before appointments as a courtesy reminder.
\n\nFull payment is due at the time of consultation. Concession cardholders will receive a discount during normal hours but full payment is required for any after hours services or home visits. Bulk billing is not automatic except for routine childhood immunisation. Some other services, however, may be bulk-billed at the doctor’s discretion. Cheques and major credit cards are accepted. EFTPOS facilities are available. A list of fees for consultations is displayed in the reception area. If you have a problem paying your account please discuss this with us so a suitable arrangement can be made. We can claim your Medicare rebate through our TYRO Eftpos service, this is where your claim will be refunded into your bank account within 10 seconds.
\n\nFees are charged, as directed by the doctor, based on the length and complexity of the consultation. Each doctor sets their own fee and fees differ for in and out of hour's consultations.
\n\nSufficient scripts will be given at the time of consultation until review of the condition is necessary. Replacements can be obtained for lost scripts but repeats will not be given automatically if you have not seen the doctor recently for the relevant condition. Please ensure, when possible, to give 24 hours notice. Certain medications will only be prescribed with consultation.
\n\nHome visits are available at the discretion of the doctor. Fees are based on the time of the visit and the nature and complexity of the call out.
