We are open during the COVID 19 pandemic
MBS telehealth and telephone items have been introduced to support the response to Coronavirus (COVID-19). In accordance with Medicare guidelines we are offering telehealth appointments where possible. Our regular fees will apply to telehealth appointments. Please view the consumer fact sheets which are updated regularly.
From 13 March 2020 to 30 September 2020 (inclusive), new temporary MBS telehealth items have been made available to help reduce the risk of community transmission of COVID-19 and provide protection for patients and health care providers.
A service may only be provided by telehealth where it is safe and clinically appropriate to do so.
Some consultations cannot be conducted via telehealth. Each booking will be reviewed and our receptionists will advise you if your doctor wants to see you face to face.
Please do not attend your appointment If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 (including cough, temperature, shortness of breath) or have been diagnosed with or in recent contact (14 days) with a confirmed case of COVID-19.
We ask that you bring no more than 1 family member with you to your appointment and we also request you make payment via EFTPOS rather than cash.
