We do standard 15 minute appointments. Some services like pap smears, health assessments, skin checks, or if you have a number of complex concerns to discuss with your GP, may need longer appointments
It is a requirement of Mooroolbark Medical Centre that all test results are given and discussed in a follow-up appointment with a GP.
Test results may not be given over the phone and it is the responsibility of each patient to book in a follow-up consultation to discuss test results.
Medical Certificates can be provided by your doctor following a consultation, unfortunately they cannot be backdated. Please try to present early in your illness should you require this service.
Emergency Phone calls will be forwarded directly to the Doctor; however it is unsafe to consult on an illness over the phone. In keeping with our philosophy of best practice, telephone consultations will not be carried out and patients are encouraged to make an appointment with the receptionist. If you require nursing advice you may be directed to an experienced practice nurse.
The practitioners adhere to the AMA code of Ethics regarding Privacy and Confidentiality, please be assured that your medical records and consultations are kept in the strictest confidence.
Please ask the reception team for a ‘transfer of medical records’ request.
As long as you have a pathology request form from your GP, you do not need to make a booking, just visit your local pathology collection centre with your request form.
At Mooroolbark Medical Centre, we have an on-site Melbourne Pathology collection centre open 6 days a week.
Work cover patients will be treated the same as regular patients. These patients must inform their employer before their first consultation and provide a claim number related to their current case.
Specialists typically require a referral letter from a GP. Please make an appointment with a GP to ask about a referral letter.
