General Practice
Apart from day to day medical care to our clients and their families we offer:
Chronic illness care
Through Medicare-supported care plans (GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements). These allow your Doctor to involve Allied Health practitioners, Nurse and other outside services in your care and then review them every 3 to 6 months to maintain the best possible control over chronic illnesses and obtain cures where possible.
Mental Health Treatment Plans
Supported by Medicare, where your Doctor works together with a Psychiatrist, Psychologist and/or a Mental Health Nurse in helping you recuperate and strengthen your emotional health.
Indigenous clients’ Health Checks
Every Indigenous person is entitled to have a regular comprehensive health check. This is set to be every 9 months for Indigenous people of any age. Our practice prides itself on being an Indigenous-friendly and multicultural practice. Indigenous Health Checks not only look closely at your health and social needs but also allow you to access 5 Allied Health referrals every year, should you need to see a Dietician, a Podiatrist, a Physiotherapist, etc.
