We prefer to work by appointments as this allows us time to provide optimum care and service. Urgent problems will, however, be assessed promptly so please discuss this with the receptionist or practice nurse. Your preferred Doctor may not always be available or is already fully booked, one of the other doctors will be pleased to help you.

​

A standard consultation is 10-15 minutes. If you require a longer consultation for example - multiple or complex problems, medicals or minor operations, please advise when booking.

Please notify us if you will be unable to keep your appointment. We will not provide services without a consultation unless previously discussed with your doctor.

​

 In general, appointments will be required for all repeat prescriptions, specialist and allied health referrals, medical reports, and investigation results. This will ensure confidentiality and enable us to provide appropriate and relevant advice to meet your ongoing health needs. If you, or someone you are assisting, needs an interpreter or has special communications needs, please inform our staff prior to the appointment. Health promotion and prevention services are also actively used by all of our medical team. Please talk to your doctor or nurse as to what we may have available to assist you.
