Our General Practitioners work hard to provide preventative health care to enable our patients to live a well and healthy life. When illness does strike, we strive to offer you the best evidence-based treatment to help you manage your condition.

Your Personal Information

All new patients are asked to complete a registration form prior to your consultation. To ensure optimal patient care, we request that you inform us of your cultural background. For existing patients, if there have been any changes to your personal information such as change of contact or Medicare details, address or emergency contact, please bring this to the attention of our reception staff on your next visit or call our friendly receptionists.

We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your health records, and have protocols in place to safeguard your privacy.

Home Visits

Home visits and nursing home visits are available within reasonable distance, at the discretion of the treating doctor. They are available to regular patients whose condition prevents them from attending the practice. Please contact our friendly reception team to enquire about this service.

Waiting Times

We aim to be as punctual as possible. Due to medical emergencies which may arise, delays in scheduled appointments may occasionally occur. In such cases, emergencies will be given priority. We regret any inconvenience caused due to these delays. Please feel free to contact us to confirm if your doctor is running on time prior to your arrival. Please let us know if you no longer require your appointment. We are always happy to help, so do let us know if you require assistance.

Cancellations

At Old Cleveland Road Clinic we have a cancellation policy in place. If you are unable to attend your appointment for any reason we ask that you contact the practice a minimum of two hours before your appointment time and preferably 24 hours prior. Missed appointments may deprive another patient of an appointment.

A fee of $50.00 is charged for missed appointments, or appointments cancelled within 2 hours of the scheduled time.

Results and Reminders

Our staff will contact you to arrange a follow-up appointment should your doctor deem this necessary. If the results are marked as no-action by the doctor, the practice will not contact you. If you need a copy of your result, we are able to print it out for you at the reception desk.

Results requiring follow-up cannot be given over the phone by staff members. You will be advised that a follow-up consultation for results is to be scheduled with your doctor. The practice fee policy applies for all follow-up appointments. This is to ensure that clinical care for our patients is not compromised.

We have a reminder system in place for cervical screening, immunisations, care plan review, health assessments and other miscellaneous services. We also participate in national, state and territory reminder systems. Please advise us if you do not wish to participate in any of these recall and reminder systems, or talk to your doctor for more information.

Telephone Calls

You can contact the practice by calling us during surgery hours. Our staff are unable to give clinical information, including results, over the phone. All calls are made and received strictly within surgery hours. All calls are answered by either the reception or nursing team from the reception desk.

Telephone calls from patients will not be put through to our doctors. Our reception staff are happy to take messages or assist you with any general questions regarding your healthcare. If you have a medical question after seeing your doctor, our nurse may be able to assist, however, should this query not be resolved, you will need to arrange a subsequent consultation with your doctor.

Should a general message be conveyed from reception to a doctor on your behalf that is requiring a response, please allow up to 3 business days for a response. If you have an urgent medical problem that is life threatening or serious, you will be triaged by our nurse. All other issues will be triaged accordingly by our receptionist or nurse. For all medical emergencies, please dial 000.

Electronic Communicatons

Electronic mail is monitored throughout practice hours, however patients are encouraged to call rather than email. Bookings can only be made online or via telephone. For privacy purposes we are unable to send or receive private and confidential information, such as patient records, via email. Please be aware all communication from patients, to patients, or about patients become part of a patient’s health record, in addition to any actions taken in response to the message.

Interpreter Service

Regardless of your preferred language, we can help you to arrange an interpreter through TIS to assist with any language barriers during your consultation. We are also able to arrange an interpreter through NABS, National Auslan Interpreter Service, for our deaf patients. Interpreter services are free of charge to the patients.

Transfer of Health Records

Upon receipt of a formal request to transfer your file to another practice, we will prepare and send a concise health summary along with any copies of results and relevant documents. For an electronic transfer there is no fee, however, if the records cannot be transferred electronically then an administrative fee applies. You will be advised of this fee before processing the request.

Your Rights

If you have a problem with our service, we would like to hear about it. Please feel free to talk to your doctor or the receptionist. You may prefer to write to us or use our suggestion box. We take your concerns, suggestions and complaints seriously.

We believe problems are best dealt with through the practice. However, if you wish to take the matter further, or feel that you need to discuss the matter outside of the surgery, please contact the Office of the Health Ombudsman on 133 646 or visit their website to find out more.
