PLEASE NOTE WE WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAYS
We will be closed on a Saturday until the 20th of August.
OUR FEES AND BULK BILLING POLICY HAVE CHANGED
Our fees have increased by a small amount, and we have reduced the availability of bulk billing, which means you might incur a small out-of-pocket fee for some services. This is due to the ongoing discrepancy between the cost of operating a general practice clinic and low increases in the Federal Government's Medicare rebates.
This decision has not been made lightly and is necessary to continue to provide high-quality health care to our local community.
We will continue to bulk-bill applicable Health Assessments and Chronic Disease Management Plans.
Please speak with our Reception staff or Practice Manager if you have any questions.
CORONAVIRUS HEALTH ALERT
We are currently experiencing an unprecedented demand for our service due to COVID-19. For the safety of GPs, staff, and patients, we require all patients and staff to wear a face mask while in the clinic. We also observe social distancing >1.5m and limit the number of patients in our waiting room.
HAVE YOU TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19?
If you recently tested positive for COVID-19, please visit the Victoria Government website for up-to-date health advice on how to report and manage your illness.
ANTIVIRAL MEDICATION
If you have tested positive and would like to access antiviral treatment, please confirm your eligibility at https://www.health.gov.au/health-alerts/covid-19/treatments/eligibility#eligibility-for-oral-covid19-treatments
If you are unwell, have respiratory symptoms and a negative COVID-19 test, please arrange a telephone appointment with a GP, and a safe face-to-face review will be arranged, if required.
For your safety and convenience, we encourage telephone or video appointments (where possible). The Government has restricted Medicare GP telehealth items to circumstances where a patient has confirmed COVID-19 and is required to isolate under a state directive, or where there is an existing relationship with a general practice (i.e., the patient has visited a GP in the practice face-to-face in the last 12 months), children aged under 12 months, or patients who are homeless.
Please be aware that telephone or video consults may incur a private fee.
Call 000 if you need urgent medical assistance.
