Talk to us about:

Home Visits

The doctors may do home visits, within a 5km radius, for patients who are unable to attend the surgery. Patients with a disability can also discuss these options with their doctor.

Requests for home visits should be made in the morning, if possible, to enable the doctor to schedule a suitable time.

If your problem is urgent, requiring immediate attention, call and ask to speak with your doctor or phone for an ambulance.

Telehealth

Telehealth appointments are available for existing patients who have been seen at the practice within the last 12 months. Consultation fees will apply.

Please note appointment times are approximate only and face to face appointments will take priority. You should receive a call within a few hours of your booked appointment time. Should you miss the call, the doctor will attempt to call you again. If you require a specific time, please discuss with reception as advised above this may not be possible.

IMPORTANT MEDICARE UPDATE FROM 1ST JULY 2026

From 1 July 2026, the Australian Government is changing the way patients provide consent for Medicare bulk-billed services. This process is called an Assignment of Benefit (AoB).

When you are bulk billed, you are assigning your Medicare rebate directly to your doctor or healthcare provider as payment for the service. Under the new rules, we must obtain and record your consent before we can submit a Medicare claim.

What does this mean for you?

  • You may be asked to confirm your consent electronically via SMS, email, tablet, or a paper form.
  • This consent allows Medicare to pay your rebate directly to the practice for your bulk-billed consultation.
  • The process is more secure and gives patients greater visibility of their Medicare claims.
  • There is no additional cost to you if your appointment is bulk billed.

 

What do I need to do?
If your appointment is eligible for bulk billing, you may receive a consent request by SMS, email, or be asked to provide consent in the clinic. This authorises Medicare to pay your rebate directly to the practice for your consultation, which allows us to process your Medicare claim correctly and remain compliant with Medicare requirements.

Please ensure you complete the consent request promptly. If consent is not provided, we are unable to submit a bulk-billed Medicare claim on your behalf. In these circumstances, your consultation may be converted to a privately billed consultation, and payment of the full consultation fee will be required on the day.

If you receive a consent request from us, please complete it as soon as possible

If you have any questions, our team will be happy to assist.

We appreciate your understanding.
