We welcome new patients to our clinic. When you attend as a new patient, we usually make a 30-minute appointment for you, as the doctor needs the extra time to get to know you and your medical and family history.
We offer an automated SMS reminder system via text message the day before your appointment. You will be asked to consent to this service when you attend the Practice for the first time. Please advise reception at any time should you wish to not receive these notifications.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment time to fill in the New Patient registration form or register as a new patient online. This will assist our reception team to prepare your file for your consultation.
- Monday to Friday 8am – 6pm
- Saturday 8am – 1pm
- We are closed on Sundays and all Public Holidays
Our standard appointment is 15 minutes. If you think you will need more time with your doctor, please feel free to request a longer appointment. To make an appointment phone (03) 9510 5500 or click here.
We value your time and do our very best to keep your waiting time to a minimum. Please remember, sometimes there are unexpected delays where our doctors may be devoting much needed time to another patient’s care, as they will dedicate to you. Accidents, emergencies, and serious problems are attended to urgently and may take extra time. Reception will make every effort to inform you of any delays.
We understand that circumstances arise at times requiring you to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Where possible we require a minimum of 2 hours’ notice. Failure to attend without cancelling will incur a non-rebatable fee.
Most results are back with your doctor within 72 hours. Unless otherwise advised, all patients are asked to make an appointment to discuss results with their doctor. This ensures your confidentiality and the appropriate action for your result. The clinic also has a recall system for urgent and non-urgent abnormal results. Please ensure you keep your contact details up to date with reception.
The Doctors may take phone calls from patients in some circumstances, although to maintain your privacy, if they are consulting with another patient at the time of your call a message will be taken and forwarded to your doctor, they will contact you as soon as they are able to. All Reception staff have triage training, although they are not clinically trained. Therefore, it may be necessary to transfer your call to the practice nurse.
Home visits are not routinely provided by High Street Medical Clinic. However, under certain circumstances, and by prior approval these may be provided to our regular patients within the local area if their condition prevents them from being able to attend the clinic. Should you need assistance after hours, please call our after-hours locum service on Tel: 132 660 to visit you at home. If the matter is urgent you should attend the emergency department of your local hospital. In the event of an emergency, ALWAYS DIAL 000.
To monitor your health and fulfil our ethical and legal responsibilities, we require that you attend your doctor for a consultation if you require further prescriptions and referrals. Any prescriptions/referrals provided, at the discretion of the doctor outside of a consultation, will incur a $35 non-rebatable fee.
As part of our commitment to providing quality care to you and your family, we may send you correspondence informing you of services which are appropriate for you. We will also send you letters to remind you of routine tests that are due. If you do not wish to be part of our recall and reminders system, please inform our reception staff.
