Have you had your 715 Health Check? 🩺

Indigenous Health Assessments are available every 9 months for First Nations People of all ages.

At RTFP, patients with a current 715 receive bulk billed routine Doctors appointments.

Why you should have this check:
⭐️ It helps catch small problems, before they can become bigger ones
⭐️ Offers an opportunity to talk about your health goals and concerns
⭐️ Helps to identify risk factors (high blood pressure, sugar levels etc)
⭐️ It supports the practice in continuing to provide bulk-billed visits for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients

Continuity of care with your regular GP practice is highly recommended by our doctors and Medicare. We are excited to continue looking after your health care needs, as your usual provider.

Call us on 02 4983 0900 to discuss booking today!

⭐️ Graduate diploma in health promotion

Having lived in the Raymond Terrace area for the past 20 years, Alina loves the small-town atmosphere and the surrounding natural beauty and farmlands here. She enjoys working with the RTFP team as the staff all show a genuine care for patients, and each other.

Meet the Team!

Sarah spent her early years in South Africa, where her Dad ran a mission hospital. This sparked her interest in medicine and she could see what a difference healthcare could make.

Sarah originally began her studies in nursing, before she made the switch to study a Bachelor of Medicine, which she graduated from in 1998.

Sarah’s passions in medicine are vast; she enjoys the large scope of general practice. In particular, she has always had passion for Africa and refugee health, along with an interest in kids and travel medicine.

Starting at RTFP in 2002 as a registrar Sarah has been a dedicated member of the team here for 24 years, she then became a practice partner in 2017. She enjoys her time at RTFP as she loves the team environment and the patient support that our team provides. She enjoys teaching registrars as she is passionate about training new GPs.

⭐️ Outside of medicine you will find Sarah spending time with her family outdoors and often in the water. She is incredibly fond of the farm life she shares with her husband ⭐️
