Committed to Providing Quality Health Care
Appointments
Our surgery operates by appointments so that when you arrive at the surgery you will have minimal wait. We do not book a long time in advance so that you will generally be able to see your doctor within a few days of calling. Urgent appointments, if required, are usually able to be provided on the day.
Telehealth appointments are available. Please note that they may attract a charge and a Medicare rebate applies.
