Travel Medicine
If you’re thinking of taking a trip overseas, it’s important to check what vaccinations and medications are required before you go. Travelling without taking the correct health precautions could turn your holiday into a costly disaster. The treating Doctors keep up-to-date with World Health Organisation guidelines, providing the appropriate advice and medical services for your travel plans.
Chronic Disease & GP Managed Care Plans
If you suffer from a chronic condition, such as osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension or chronic pain, the available Doctors will do all they can to help you manage it effectively. The GPs in Mackay tailor care plans specific to your needs. Certain patients may be eligible for certain government subsidies and referrals to allied health providers.
Health Assessments for over 75’s
If you are over 75, it’s highly recommended that you schedule a comprehensive annual health check with your GP. The doctors can provide this service and offer health care advice and services relating to medication, nutrition, exercise, mobility and lifestyle habits. Additionally, the Doctors can connect senior patients to support networks.
Iron Infusions
If you are suffering from anaemia, your treating Doctors can administer an iron infusion. Our friendly nurses will assist the GP in preparation and administration of the iron infusion. Cannulation will be performed by the GP following the administration of intravenous iron. This procedure can take up to 50 minutes as the patient requires close monitoring in the unlikely event of any adverse effects occurring.
Fees
The Medicare rebate for your consultation can be claimed electronically at our reception, allowing funds to be returned directly to your EFTPOS bank account on the day of your consultation.
All repeat prescriptions, new or continuing referrals will require an appointment with your regular general practitioner.
Bulk Billing
Children aged 12 years and under are bulk billed for standard consultations with the Doctor. This is not applicable after hours, on Saturday and if treatment room services are required.
Cancellations
As a courtesy to our other patients, please call the clinic 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment to cancel if you are unable to make your appointment.
