It is important to be aware of the latest WHO (World Health Organisation) recommendations for travel to any part of the world. Travel medicine has a focus on health promotion and may include travel vaccinations, up to date travel information, malaria prevention, education and awareness of the local culture or region to help prevent accidents and injuries.
WORKERS COMPENSATION / TAC
Some occupations have increased risk of injury or illness, and doctors specialising in occupational medicine aim to ensure that high standards of health and safety at work are maintained. Occupational medicine may include but is not limited to treatment, management and prevention of injuries, return to work planning, pre-employment medicals and WorkCover consultations.
REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS / REFERRALS
Patients taking prescribed medications, it is important that you are reviewed regularly. We always recommend a personal visit because we think it is in your best interest, but if you are busy and need a repeat script or a referral urgently our reception team will take your request over the telephone. Doctor’s may refuse prescription requests if they believe a consultation is required. All repeat prescriptions or referrals are charged a fee.
MINOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES
Please ensure when booking an appointment that you let reception know that you are having a procedure. The procedure would need to have been discussed with the doctor at a prior consultation. Your doctor will give an estimate of the out of pocket cost.
