📞 New Service for Our Patients – Bulk Billed Rapid Telephone Appointments

We’re excited to introduce a new service to help reduce wait times and make accessing care more convenient and affordable for our existing patients.

You can now book bulk billed rapid telephone appointments for:

✔️ Repeat scripts for regular medications (excluding pain medications and benzodiazepines)
✔️ Repeat referrals
✔️ Simple medical certificates (excluding WorkCover, Centrelink or TAC certificates)

Our plan is to make these appointments available every day, making it easier to manage your ongoing healthcare needs without needing to attend the clinic in person.

Please note: These are short appointments designed specifically for the services listed above. No additional issues will be addressed during these consultations.

This service is designed to save you time, reduce costs, and improve access to care.

Please note: in order to make one of these appointments, patients must have been seen face to face in the clinic in the last 12 months.

Please contact reception to book your appointment 📲
