If more than one person needs to be seen, separate appointments need to be booked. This helps us to keep appointments running to schedule. Emergency appointments will be accommodated on the day when possible.

We're a private billing practice. The standard fees charged by our tenant doctors are listed below, however our tenant doctors have discretion to charge fees that differ from the standard fees.

 

If you are unable to keep an appointment, please phone and let us know as early as possible, so that we can re-schedule and use your appointment for another patient. A non-attendance fee of $50 may be charged for non-attendance or cancellation within 4 hours of your appointment time.
