How can we help you today?
These are some of our patients most common concerns. For more info, check out our list of services below
Test Results
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.
Communication assistance
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.
Returning calls
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.
Management of your Health Information
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
