In order to monitor your health and fulfil our ethical and legal responsibilities, we require that you attend your doctor (or if your usual doctor is not available, one of the other doctors) in order to receive further prescriptions for your medications.
Whatever your preferred language, we can help you arrange an interpreter to assist with any language barriers. We also arrange interpreters through NABS, National Auslan Interpreter Service, for our deaf patients.

Due to time constraints, doctors are not able to take non-urgent phone calls from patients and cannot always return phone calls. It is preferred that patients make an appointment to discuss any concerns with a doctor in person. Our receptionist will take a message and returning your call will be at the discretion of the doctor. Urgent phone calls will be put through to the doctor or nurse on duty.
Further details of our communication policy are available on request from our reception staff.
