Ask R U OK? Any Day because life happens every day.

A lot can happen in a year, a month, a week. Whether it’s your friend, family member, colleague, partner, or teammate, the people you care about go through life’s ups and downs every day.

By having regular, meaningful conversations, you build trust and normalise talking about what’s really going on, so when the people in your world find themselves struggling, they know you’re someone they can talk to.

So whilst R U OK Day on Thursday September 11 is our National Day of Action, we encourage you to Ask R U OK? Any Day of the year because a conversation could change a life.

If you have a phone consultation scheduled with your GP, please make sure your phone is not on silent and is with you at all times so that you are ready to answer the call.

Private fees apply to all phone consultations, unless the patient holds a current concession card (Pension Card, Healthcare Card, Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, Veteran's Affairs Card), or is under 16 years of age. Bulk-billing outside of these parameters will be at the discretion of the GP.

To be eligible for a Medicare rebate, you must have been seen in the practice for a consultation in the previous 12 months.

Our reception team will contact you directly after your appointment time for collection of payment.

Fees for phone consultations vary depending on your GP and the length of your appointment. For more information, call reception on 4632 2331

This week is National Stroke Week.

Would you know what signs to look for to determine if a loved one might be having a stroke? Knowing the signs can save a life.

This acronym can be helpful:

F.A.S.T

F – Face. Check their face – has their mouth drooped?

A – Arms. Can they lift both arms?

S – Speech. Do they understand you? Is their speech slurred?

T – Time. Time is critical. Call 000 if you notice any of the above signs

A stroke is a medical emergency. If you are worried someone is having a stroke, call 000 immediately.

Please be aware that our treatment room is a small space and we are unable to accommodate multiple people in the room at one time.

If you are accompanying a patient to their appointment, please wait in the waiting room. If you are a parent of a child who is being seen or someone with special needs who requires a carer, you will be permitted access to the treatment room.

Thank you
