Non-attendance

Missed appointments & cancellation

Non-attendance fee of $25 applies to missed standard appointments and $50 for long appointments. We require at least 2 hours notice to cancel an appointment, or the non-attendance fee will apply.

If something unexpected comes up and you can’t attend, please call reception as soon as you can. 

Telephoning the doctor

Phone consults & messages

Phone consults are available if needed. Please book this online or via reception staff.

Should you need to speak to your GP via the telephone and they are with a patient, a message will be taken and relayed to the GP. 

In the case of an emergency, you should call an ambulance on 000.

Repeat prescriptions

Requesting a repeat script

Repeat prescriptions require a consultation and review. This is so your doctor can confirm the medication is still appropriate, check for interactions and update your record.

Should you need a script urgently, we will accomodate for a "script-only" consultation. Remaining up to date with your scripts is your responsibility. 

Test results

How results are communicated

If a doctor requires a follow-up appointment with you in regards to recent test results, the reception staff will contact you on behalf of the doctor to arrange this. For normal test results, you may not be contacted. Please do not assume "no news is good news" and call reception staff if you have not heard back from the reception staff about your results.

If you would like the results of a test that you have had done, the reception staff are able to provide these after they have been reviewed by the doctor.
