• The standard consult fee is $80.00 on weekdays and $90.00 on weekends.
• Additional fees are applicable for longer consults and procedures.
• Information on the current private fees charged is available at reception.
• Medical Reports and consultations concerning established Worker’s Compensation and Third-Party claims will be charged in accordance with the AMA Fee List.

We ask that patients make a booking ONLINE, though every effort will be made to fit patients in when possible.

Some services like pap smears, health assessments, skin checks, or if you have a number of complex concerns to discuss with your GP, may need longer appointments.

Test results are only given to the patient concerned; this can be done via Telehealth with the patient’s usual doctor. However, you will generally be asked to make an appointment with your doctor for follow up.

If you have visited our practice in the past twelve months, you can book a telehealth consultation. Please do so ONLINE. New patients must have a face to face consult with one of our GP’s in the first instance.

The practitioners adhere to the AMA code of Ethics regarding Privacy and Confidentiality, please be assured that your medical records and consultations are kept in the strictest confidence.

Blood tests are performed by a Pathology Collection provider who is separate from us. You do not need an appointment to have a blood test at a Pathology Collection centre, just a referral from your GP.

Work cover patients will be treated the same as regular patients. Please notify your employer before your first consultation so they may provide you with a claim number related to your current case. New Workcover claims need to be paid in full by the patient on the day of the appointment. Please call the clinic to make your appointment.

Specialists typically require a referral letter from a GP. Please make an appointment with a GP first to ask about a referral letter; your GP will advise you accordingly. Please note, specialist referrals cannot be backdated, and you will need to discuss with your specialist any charges with them directly.

If you are unsatisfied with any aspect of our practice or your consultation, complaints can be made by completing a ‘feedback form’ available in the waiting room, completing a formal ‘complaints’ form available at the reception desk, discussing your concerns directly with the Practice Manager, ‘LEAVE FEEDBACK’ using the link below or contact the VIC Health Services Commissioner on 1300 582 113.
