Different Types of Appointments
What appointments do we offer:
1. Standard Appointments
These usually cover simple illnesses, repeat prescriptions or initial consultations regarding a procedure.
Please note procedures are not done the same day as the initial (these included but are not limited to: Skin excisions, contraception insertions, health assessments, care-plans, drivers licence checks, ear syringing and ear suctioning)
2. Long Consultations
Extended consultations can be organised if required. Please call receptions to get more information on how we can book a longer appointment for you.
3. Procedures
Our practice does offer appointments for procedures. We have many doctors that complete skin biopsies, skin excisions, ear syringing and ear suctioning. We are unable to book these without the patient having an initial consultation with the GP to ensure that further investigations don't need to be ordered, medications don't need to be organised and taken prior to the procedure and that the procedure is the most suitable treatment for the condition.
4. Paperwork
Please note if you are booking an appointment for paperwork you must information reception when you are making the appointment. Please note most paperwork is not bulk-billed and there will be a private fee charged, examples of this are:
- Early release of superannuation forms
- GP clearance for any health condition that is required for a employment medical
- Insurance / private health paperwork
- Legal matters (records/reports/statements etc...) for lawyers or court
Exceptions to this are Centrelink paperwork which will be bulk-billed.
