Appointments

Doctor Appointments 

Patients may be screened by a health professional before seeing a doctor depending on their health condition. Our clinic offers the following types of patient appointments: 

  • Short 20-minute appointments: short consults, health education, preventive care (eg. well women’s checks), brief chronic health care reviews, new specialist referrals, emergency, or urgent walk-in appointments. 
  • Standard 40-minute appointments: new patients, patients with more than one problem to discuss, Health Checks, Health Care Plans, excisions, and any paperwork that may require completion by a doctor. 
  • Long 60-minute appointments:   Full medical check-ups, complex care plans, counselling, consults where a patient’s Carer, family members or translator is present. 

Walk-ins and emergencies

Patients without an appointment will be assessed by a triage nurse. Emergencies always take first priority and are triaged and categorised accordingly. Patients presenting with non-urgent issues will be advised of the expected wait time until they can be seen and/or asked to book an appointment for the next available appointment time.
