Someone kindly shared this with us - it is what the scam message looks like:

HOTDOC ALERT
We have been alerted to a scam using HOTDOC ( which is the booking and messaging company we use). They say they are contacting about a refund which is due. Please do not answer that. We would contact you by phone if an error has been made. You are always welcome to phone the surgery to check with us if you receive any message that seems unusual.

HOLIDAYS!
We have a number of doctors on leave in July and will be quite short of appointments. We have managed to secure a locum doctor- Dr Caryl O’Shaghnessy- who will work with us for 2 weeks. She is a very experienced doctor and we are hoping everyone will make her welcome.
Thank you for your understanding 😊

****Manners please people!!****
Our staff have noticed an increase in patients demanding that doctors fill in paperwork, do scripts, referrals, etc. without an appointment (we offer face to face or telehealth). We understand that from all the “Medicare is free” political talk at the moment, you may think doctors would be getting paid for this work. However the reality is that each doctor in our practice is running their own small business and when you ask them to do unpaid work (we can only bill for time spent actually with a patient- not for paperwork), you are taking their income. The staff have been advised not to ask doctors to do these things without an appointment and also they will never tell you that you will be “bulk-billed”.
We have a number of lovely families who have moved to the area and want to attend our practice but we are too full at present.
If you are rude to any of our staff you will be asked to move to a different practice that may suit you better. We will be happy to transfer your file. We will then accept a new patient who chooses our style of medicine . This has always been our policy.
Thank you to the vast majority of our patients who are respectful and a privilege to care for. We are very proud of our wonderful patients and practice and we won’t let ungrateful people change that!!

Power is back up and running 😊

Unfortunately there is a power outage in Claremont. We currently do not have phones, computers or lights (we can not even open the front doors). We have received notification from Tas Networks that there will be an update at 930. If you need an appointment you can book online through our website. Thank you for your patience.

We are seeking a friendly and enthusiastic medical receptionist to join our team. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!

It was a sad day at Ochre Claremont today. After 44 years of dedication to general practice Dr Graeme has hung up his stethoscope. To celebrate the legend he is, we had a dress as Graeme day today 😊

UPDATE: Water is back on and centre will be open for business tomorrow and so will we!

Unfortunately Claremont Village Shopping Centre has had to close due to a burst water main, we do not currently have any water and access points to the centre have been closed. If you have an appointment this afternoon it will need to be rescheduled. Please be kind as this is completely out of our control.
