We strive to accommodate your preferred GP appointment time. However, emergencies can arise, and despite our efforts to maintain schedule, emergencies will take priority. Our staff will make every effort to notify you in case of unforeseen delays.
If you need longer appointments pls ask our friendly admin staffs.
Examples of longer consultations include (but are not limited to):
We have an onsite pathology service provided by Australian Clinical Labs, available at the following times:

Doctors may request various tests such as ECG, lung function tests, or cardiovascular assessments, including 24-hour BP monitoring, for different medical reasons.
Test results are typically available within one week of the test, though some tests may take longer. For blood tests or medical imaging ordered by your doctor, a follow-up appointment is necessary to discuss results in person. This approach maintains high medical standards and ensures patient confidentiality, as conveying results over the phone can be challenging. We provide results over the phone with some limitations and challenges due to privacy policies. However, we will notify you via text message when your results are ready. If results are abnormal and urgent, your doctor will personally contact you. If your doctor is unavailable, please contact reception to schedule an appointment with another doctor for result discussion.
To obtain a new prescription, repeat prescription, or a referral letter to a specialist from your GP, please schedule an appointment with your doctor.
