Day of appointment

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your allocated appointment time. Our staff will provide you with the appropriate paperwork required to be completed before the consultation with your doctor.

In order for your doctor to provide you with the best possible treatment and care, a detailed understanding of your past and present health is required. Please advise your doctor of your previous medical history, current medical conditions and the medications you are taking, including those purchased over the counter. This information is very important. It may affect how you recover from your condition/injury and also potentially alter the course of treatment.

Once your doctor has examined you, he will discuss your condition/injury with you and the necessary treatment plan. It is vital that you fully understand your condition/injury, treatment options available to you, your doctor’s recommendations, potential risks associated with treatment and recovery time. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with your doctor at the time of consultation.

Financial information

For medical consultations, please bring along your Medicare card or relevant documentation (workers’ compensation, DVA, third party etc.), if applicable, to ensure your claim can be processed at the time of consultation. Consultations attract a Medicare benefit which can be claimed directly from Medicare.

We ask that all accounts are settled on the day of consultation via EFT, Visa Card, Mastercard, AMEX, cheque or cash.
