Our Practice can be contacted during business hours on 6924 3022. Our fax number is 6924 3058.

We believe most matters are best dealt with during a booked consultation. However, if you need to speak to your GP, your GP will always endeavour to take your call, but at times, may be away or seeing to other patients. Please let us know if your call is urgent.

Our medical centre operates on an appointment basis. Our appointment system caters for urgent, non-urgent, complex, planned chronic care and preventative healthcare.

Walk-ins are accepted, however there may be an unavoidable wait as priority is given to patients who have a booked appointment with their GP.

Urgent appointments will be seen by the next available GP. Please advise reception if you believe you require an urgent appointment. Urgent appointments will be triaged by the nurse on duty.

Appointments can be booked in person, via phone or using the HOTDOC app. Please note, online appointment bookings are only available to existing patients. New patients are required to call the practice.

If you need more time with your GP, please arrange an extended consultation when booking your appointment. Please advise reception staff if you have more than one issue to discuss so the appropriate consultation time can be booked.

Online appointments requests are currently only available for routine appointments. If you require nursing services such as dressings, immunisations, health assessments, care planning, NDIS paperwork, INR testing or a procedure, please arrange this through reception so that the appropriate amount of time can be allocated between the nurse and your usual GP.

Online appointment requests are not currently available for Dr Corbett or Dr Barsoum.

Telehealth appointments are available to patients who are physically unable to attend the clinic in person. Telehealth appointments are provided at the Doctor’s discretion, according to clinical need. Please speak to our admin team to request a telehealth appointment. Please note, it is our preference to provide appointments face to face.

Telehealth appointments are only available to patients who have had a face to face consultation at our Practice within the last 12 months.

For non-Medicare card accounts, payment is required on the day of the consultation and can be made by cash, EFTPOS or Credit Card. Workers compensation patients must provide a claim number each time they present for a consultation.

At times you may experience a waiting period due to GPs tending to urgent or complex medical issues. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

If you have more than 2 brief issues to discuss, or are attending for counselling, a mental health plan, or other complex matter, please book a long appointment. Please also ensure a separate appointment is booked per family member, if you are attending with a partner or child. This allows our staff to allocate you enough time, to ensure you are not kept waiting.

Pathology results and radiology results are usually completed within 2 working days of your test. A consultation is required to discuss your test results with your Doctor. It is preferable that you see the same doctor who referred your for the tests, to ensure continuity of care.

Our reception staff will advise you by telephone if your results require urgent attention. Please ensure you keep your contact numbers up to date with our reception staff so that we are able to contact you in the event of an urgent result.

Specialist referrals, medical certificates and prescriptions (including repeats) require an appointment with your Doctor.

Referrals cannot be backdated. It is the patient's responsibility to ensure you hold a valid referral prior to your specialist appointments. Most referrals from a GP are valid for 12 months.

You must make an appointment to get a medical certificate and, we regret they cannot be backdated. This includes standard medical certificates and Centrelink / Workcover certificates.

Our Practices uses HOTDOC to communicate with patients about important preventative health reminders, cancer screening tests such as Cervical screening and routine reminders for immunisations and health assessments. If you have opted out of HOTDOC, or we do not hold a valid mobile number, you will receive these reminders via post.

Please advise your Doctor if you do not wish to receive reminders.

This privacy policy is to provide information to you, our patient, on how your personal information (which includes your health information) is collected and used within our practice, and the circumstances in which we may share it with third parties.
