GP referral renewal

  Medicare requires an in-date referral to be able to claim the Medicare rebate.

  Referrals are valid for 12 months, please check with reception when your referral expires. 

  This includes Department of Veterans' Affairs & Workers Compensation patients.

  While we endeavour to send SMS reminders for expiring referrals,

 it is also the patient's responsibility to ensure they have a current GP referral. 


 Prescription requests without an appointment

  This will vary depending on medications, the duration between appointments

 & authority scripts.  There may be a fee for scripts outside of an appointment.

  All authority scripts must be collected from our centre.

  Please note most of our doctors do operate with us part-time

 and may not be able to produce prescriptions within 7 days.

  We advise contacting your GP as well for assistance with medications.
