Yes, our clinic takes new patients of all ages and genders. Some doctors will not have capacity to take on new patients, but the clinic does have capacity to find you a GP to provide the medical care you need. Please call reception or book online if you are unsure.

An appointment with a doctor is required for a referral to a medical specialist. Referrals are dated and usually valid for twelve months from that date. As referrals cannot be backdated, please ensure you have an up to date referral prior to your specialist appointment. Failure to have a valid referral will result in losing the  Medicare rebate entitlement for the specialist appointment. Should you require a repeat referral to see your specialist, your doctor may provide this for a minimal fee if they have recently seen you in clinic.

Generally, an appointment with a doctor is required to obtain a prescription of any kind. This is to ensure that the appropriate medication is prescribed and to allow the doctor to assess the ongoing needs and effectiveness of such medication. In some instances a repeat script can be ordered without an appointment (for a minimal non-rebatable fee), however this is always at the doctors discretion.
