DO YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAVE TESTED POSITIVE TO COVID IN THE LAST 7 DAYS?

If you have tested positive to COVID in the last 7 days, please notify Reception staff and wait outside or in your car for your Doctor to start your appointment as a phone call.
Please remember all health staff are still required to isolate for 7 days if tested positive to COVID, so please help us keep staffing available to treat you and your family.

INFORMATION REGARDING LONG TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT

The Government only rebates short (less than 20 minutes) telehealth consultations, so if your telehealth consultation lasts longer than 20 minutes, your government rebate will still only provide the shorter consult rebate.
Please be aware that we are unable to provide long telehealth consultations for DVA patients, unless it is for mental health matters.

ARE YOUR PATIENT DETAILS UP TO DATE?

On arrival, please advise Reception if you have an Aged Pension or Concession Card and any change in address or contact details.
