Bulk-billed telehealth consultations are available to all patients with a Medicare card who have had a face-to-face consultation with any of the GPs at our practice at least once in the past 12 months. We recommend that patients experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as fever and respiratory symptoms utilise this service before visiting the practice.

Mental health consultations are also being conducted via telehealth.

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Runny nose
  • Shortness of breath
  • Loss of taste and smell
