FAQs
Can I get a referral without an appointment?
In most cases no. The GP needs to assess your symptoms to decide the best course of action, which may include referral to a specialist or for ongoing referrals whether you still need to see a specialist. You do not require a referral to see a specialist but having one makes the consult claimable, at least in part, through Medicare thus reducing your costs. It is an offence to back date a referral so you will need to arrange one before your specialist visit.
Can I get a repeat prescription without an appointment?
Not routinely but there are some exceptions. If you have an ongoing arrangement with your doctor regarding your medication it may be possible to request a script over the phone. If you do make a request this will be assessed by your doctor and a decision made in line with your best medical care, meaning an appointment may still be required. Requests for repeat prescriptions may take up to three business days to be processed so if the request is urgent an appointment may be quicker.
Why do doctors run late? It is so frustrating
Our wait times are on average under 10 minutes, but unfortunately doctors do sometimes run late. We make every effort to run to time but a patient’s health concerns can be unpredictable. Some of the reasons doctors run late include: medical emergencies, complex medical needs booked in standard appointments not allowing enough time, previous patient(s) arrived late for their appointment, interruptions via phone calls, pandemics or simply previous patients needed a little extra care and attention.

The doctor I saw here (one of the two sisters) was one of the best doctors I have seen. I saw her to try and treat ongoing migraines. Herdiligencein trying out many different treatments was impressive. These guys here really care and you don't feel like they are trying to get you through as quickly as possible.

There are a number of doctors who work out of the practise. Rooms are nice and clean and Ive never had to wait for too long. Location has made it very easy to either get to work or get there at the end of the day. Onsite there is also a pathology clinic which makes it very convenient if you have to give blood because you dont have to go elsewhere. There is an out of pocket expense but its all linked up with Medicare so I dont have to do anything to get the refund automatically deposited into my account.
