General Clinic Information
Billing and fees: Other than our dental service, we are a fully bulk billing service for patients with a Medicare card. Fees may apply for some services including visiting specialist services. Fees may apply when a referral is made to an outside specialist, or for some pathology or other tests.

Management of patient health information: Your medical record is a confidential document. It is our policy to maintain security of your personal health information at all times. Access to your medical records is only available to authorized personnel.
Process for follow up of results: It is our policy to inform all patients of pathology test results. Please book a follow up appointment for results at time of tests. You may be asked to attend an appointment to receive this information from your doctor. To ensure this can occur clinic staff will verify your details upon making your appointment.
Our Communication with you: We do not have a generic email contact for the clinic so if you wish to make contact with a member of our team please do so via telephone. If you leave a voice message all attempts will be made to get back to you within 24 hours, however if you think we may have missed you, call again during business hours.
