Patient Information

Prescriptions
The doctors at the Ayr Family Medical Centre practice responsible prescribing. This means each prescription request will be reviewed before a prescription is provided. Our review process includes the new Drug monitoring tool QScripts, which tracks in real-time as scripts are issued and filled. Even if you have received a prescription before, the doctors are not obligated to issue you with a new prescription. New patients may want to consider transferring their medical record prior to requesting a script. This will help provide the GP with the information needed to make a clinical decision. Restricted medications are never provided on the first visit.

Medical Certificates
Medical certificates can only be provided after a consult and will be dated the day of the consult. So you will need to book either a physical or telehealth appointment in a timely manner to arrange your certificate.
To preserve patient privacy, certificates will not include a diagnosis, but may contain health directions, such as a period of rest or limit to duties. We happily accept requests from employers to verify the validity of any certificates issued under the name of our practice or doctors.

Test Results
Test results are only provided in consult and only a doctor will discuss results with a patient. Our other staff members cannot provide this information, so please book an appointment to discuss any results or recalls.
Recalls
We send an SMS message to most patients when a result has returned and the doctor wishes to discuss it. However, we still recommend that patients book a follow-up consult in advance to secure your time and avoid booking delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept walk-ins?
Rather than walking-in, we recommend that patients call ahead. This allows us to triage your needs. However, we will do our best to cater to urgent walk-ins when needed and we do keep appointments reserved for last minute bookings.
Can I get a medical certificate for yesterday?
No. Medical certificates will be dated the day of your consult and cannot be backdated to cover previous days.
A medical certificate is a record that the doctor witnessed the patient’s condition and deemed the certificate necessary. So the certificate cannot be issued for days where the condition was unknown. This would be a false, misleading or inaccurate certificate and could compromise our doctors ethical and legal duties. There are very few exceptions to this regulation.

You can learn more about the guidelines and regulations relating to medical certificates from:
Australian Medical Association (AMA)
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority(AHPRA)
Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP)
Can I request a self-collect cervical screening test?
Yes, self-collect cervical screening tests are now largely available. Feel free to request a self-collect test when you make your booking at the doctors at the Ayr Family Practice.

To learn more about the changes to the cervical screening program, including the new test option visit our health information page Cervical Screening.
