If you need help with something and you don't see it below, please call us.
Adult and Child Medical Care
Through our healthcare partners we offer a range of specialist services...
Cervical Screening
All women who have ever been sexually active should have regular cervical smear tests every three years between the ages of 25 and 69.
ECG
An ECG is a recording of your heart's electrical activity. Electrode patches are attached to your skin to measure the electrical impulses given off by your heart.
Lab Results
Sometimes your doctor needs to take a sample of blood or urine either to discover what is wrong with you or to measure something in your blood so that the right medication is given to you.
Minor Accident Care
We offer a range of services and are able to deal with the most minor accident care.

Appointments
Each appointment is scheduled for 15 minutes. Some consultations will require more time. If you feel this may be the case, you should advise the receptionist to book for a longer appointment (please note: this may incur an increased charge).
Medical examinations for driving licences and general medicals for insurance require a special appointment, and sometimes a nurse appointment as well. We prefer you to phone for these appointments rather than "walking in" to be seen.
We now offer online booking of appointments but please note that this service is for standard appointments only.
If you are a new patient, please phone for your first appointment to ensure that the enrolment process can be started.
Repeat Prescriptions
Prescriptions may be able to be renewed without the need for an appointment, but we need to follow careful guidelines, for safety and legal reasons. All conditions which require long-term medication require regular review to make sure the treatment remains appropriate and safe.
Repeat prescriptions can be ordered through Vensa. Alternatively, please phone or email us to arrange a repeat prescription. Remember to include enough detail about the name and dosage of the medicine and provide contact details so that our nurse can contact you if needed. If you have an urgent need for a prescription, this can be ready in 24 hours and will cost $18.50. Non-urgent prescriptions will be ready in 24-48 hours and cost $15.50.
Please let our team know if you would like your prescription sent electronically, directly to your chemist.
