In the interest of your health and safety you will need to see the doctor for a prescription or referral. If you only need a previously discussed repeat prescription or referral, please inform reception staff when booking. It may then be possible to give you a fast track appointment where your waiting time and fees will be reduced.

The doctors are available for home visits both within and outside of normal consulting hours for the seriously ill or incapacitated patients who are unable to travel to the surgery.  This includes local nursing homes and hostels.

For emergency after-hours care until 11 pm on weeknights, one of the doctors of this surgery may be contacted by following the instructions recorded on the surgery phone, 9526 1233.  If you require urgent after-hours care after 11 pm or at weekends and public holidays, patients are advised to phone National Home Doctor Service on 13 74 25.

In potential emergency situations dial triple zero (000) for ambulance, or proceed directly to Sutherland Hospital Accident and Emergency. Kareena Rd, Caringbah. Phone: 9540 7111 (24-hours).

Our practice uses a “recall and reminder” system to improve the quality of your health care. This may be by SMS, post, email or telephone. If you do not wish to be contacted, please notify our reception staff.

Underground parking is available under the home units at 19-21 Central Road, 50 metres downhill from the surgery. Press the intercom button to enter the car-park. You will need a keypad code to exit the car-park, which you can obtain from our reception staff. Please return to your car without delay, as the code changes regularly throughout the day.

Patients who do not speak English have the choice of utilising the Translating and Interpreting Service. We also have access to an interpreter from The Deaf Society of NSW, or use of the National Relay Service. Please inform our reception staff if this is required.

Chronic underfunding of General Practice over successive Governments has made bulk billing untenable, hence, we have been forced to make the very difficult decision to cease most bulk-billing (including Telehealth consultations) and to also introduce a fee to cover dressing supplies.

The suggested fees for consultations are displayed at the front desk. Our practitioners have the option to vary the suggested fees. If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please feel free to discuss these fees with your doctor.

Payment is required at the time of consultation. Payments can be made by cash, cheque, Visa, MasterCard or EFTPOS.

Bulk billing will routinely apply to the following:

• Routine childhood immunisations
• Department of Veterans’ Affairs patients
• Routine influenza and Covid-19 vaccinations

Our reception staff will conduct an electronic transfer of your consultation receipt to Medicare Australia. Your rebate is then paid electronically into the bank account you have nominated with Medicare.

Your medical record is a confidential document. It is the policy of this practice to maintain security of personal health information at all times and to ensure that this information is only available to authorised members of staff. Each staff member signs and is bound by a confidentiality agreement.

We abide by the Australian Privacy Principles.

Please phone the surgery for your pathology results 1 week after your test. Our receptionists will be able to inform you if your doctor is satisfied with your results or if you require an appointment with your doctor to discuss them.

You will need an appointment with your doctor following x-rays and scans.

Phone the surgery and speak with one of our receptionists.

If the matter is considered urgent you will be put through to the doctor. Otherwise, the doctor will return your call at the end of the session/day.

We do not routinely communicate by email. Do not use email to contact us in an emergency.
