These allied health services are not necessarily bulk billed please request information in relation to the costing of these appointments

We run by an appointment schedule, however emergencies will take priority. Appointments are made at 10 minute intervals. When making your appointment please advise staff if you need extra time. If you do not have an appointment, staff will advise you how long the wait will be or if you would like to return at a more appropriate time. Nobody likes to be kept waiting and we are all aware of this and try to adhere to appointment schedules. However, the unpredictable nature of medical practice means that doctors sometimes run behind time. This is mostly due to a patient requiring urgent medical attention. We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused to patients when we fall behind with our appointment schedule. We would really appreciate if you no longer need your appointment, if you would telephone to cancel.
