Friday 26th JUNE

Please note that the surgery will close by midday, on Friday 26th June for our annual team-building exercise.

Our apologies for any disruption to service but this is an essential part of our staff culture.

FLUVAX

Once again it’s that time of year.

Although our rapid-fire clinics are done, please note that vaccines are available at any time during our business hours. Please just pop in for such.

Remember only $30 unless subsidised.

12 month prescriptions? - yeah, nah

There was a purely political decision made, despite objections from the college of GPs & pharmacy, to allow 12-monthly prescriptions to be available from today.

Most GPs take their role in healthcare oversight, with great responsibility, as we do.

There are very few, if any, medications which responsible GPs will prescribe for 12 months without any patient interaction.

This move makes for considerably more work for pharmacies without recompense. It would also lead to more work for GPs on an annual review - which would not be facilitated in a single consultation.

Therefore, please note that we will not, as a general rule be prescribing any differently from the traditional 3 monthly model.

Should there be some prescribing over the 3 month timeframe, the fee for such will include an extra script fee, as an additional patient cost.

Enrolments

We have currently opened our enrolments to patients new to the area, whose current enrolments are not in zone.

Enrolment is subject to acceptance of policies and confirmation of residence / current enrolment status.

The updated enrolment form is able to be downloaded from Fees & Services page, BUT completed enrolment form does not ensure acceptance.
