Welcome to
MyDoc Healthcare

Your Doctor may request that you undergo particular investigations such as blood test, scans and more. 

The results of any investigations will be discussed with you in an appointment that will be arranged for you by our medical administration team.

If you require an interpreter for your consultation or you have a communication impairment, you can arrange with our staff prior to your appointment to have the necessary assistance available to you at the time of you consultation. Please ensure that staff are aware of this at the time you make your appointment.

We value our patients and understand that timely communication is an important aspect of providing quality healthcare.

We strive to return all calls from patients within a reasonable timeframe, while also maintaining efficient operations and respecting the time of our doctors and other staff.

We aim to return calls from patients as soon as possible, ideally within 7 business day of receiving the message. We value the safety and privacy of our patients and take every measure to ensure that their health information is protected.

As a result, we cannot pass on messages from patients to their doctor as this is not a secure or confidential method of communication.

We encourage patients to make an appointment to speak directly with their doctor, either in person or via telehealth, to discuss any medical concerns they may have.

This allows the doctor to provide appropriate and personalised advice, and ensures that the patient’s health information is kept confidential.

We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our patients’ health information. Our policy on the management of health information is aligned with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the Privacy Act 1988, and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) guidelines. We only collect health information that is necessary for the provision of healthcare services or as required by law.

This information will be collected directly from you or your authorised representative, and with your consent. The collection of health information will be done in accordance with the RACGP standards for patient privacy and consent.

We only use and disclose health information for the primary purpose of providing healthcare services, or for related purposes that are consistent with your expectations and the law.

This includes sharing information with other healthcare providers involved in your care, as well as with third parties with your consent or as required by law.

The use and disclosure of health information will be done in accordance with the APPs, the Privacy Act 1988, and the RACGP guidelines

Email Policy for Mydoc Healthcare below is what is on our website.

At Mydoc Healthcare, we understand that email is a convenient and efficient way for patients to communicate with us. However, we also recognise the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality and ensuring that emails are responded to in a timely manner.

To ensure that emails are handled appropriately, we have developed the following email policy:

1. Email communication is not appropriate for urgent medical matters. If you have a medical emergency, please call 000 or visit your nearest emergency department.
2. We will respond to non-urgent patient emails within 7 business days.
3. Email communication is not a substitute for an in-person consultation with your doctor. If you have a complex medical issue or require an examination, please make an appointment to see your doctor.
4. Please do not include any sensitive or personal health information in your email. For your privacy and security, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of email communication.

We welcome feedback and encourage you to talk to us if you are happy or unhappy with any component of our service.

This is how we learn and grow and understand what it is our patients need. If you feel uncomfortable speaking to us directly, contact the Health Complaints Commissioner on 1300 582 113
