This practice provides an invaluable service to the city of Hobart. They're open all day weekends & public holidays, and every evening week nights.
I've used them innumerable times over the last 20 years, including twice in the last two weeks. Being a shift worker, they're particularly useful when I'm supposed to be at work on a weekend or public holiday, and am sick instead.
As a health care worker myself, I often receive calls from clients and have to advise them to see a doctor - it's great to have this practice to refer them to as an alternative to the emergency room of our only public hospital.
The service is first come, first serve (except genuine emergencies) and you will have to sit in the waiting room for a while - I waited 90 minutes tonight, having arrived 15 minutes before opening time. They'll always give you an estimate of the wait length though, and you can go and come back later if you want.
Let's face it, none of us enjoy sitting around in a waiting room when we're unwell, so I'm not going to pretend it's fun. But they have a large waiting room, plenty of chairs, a TV, a clean toilet, and a late night pharmacy just outside. Pretty damn good, if you ask me!
The staff are always pleasant and friendly, despite the amount of flak they must have to put up with (and overhear).
The cost is a little more than most GP's - $73 this evening, which is claimable through Medicare, of course. I assume the staff are being paid penalty rates, so that's understandable.
All in all, a fantastic service, and one which we're very lucky to have.

Approximate cost: $73
