!COVID-19 (Coronavirus)!
We are doing all we can during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep both our patients and staff safe. That means we have implemented a number of changes and new protocols. We ask that you please be patient with us and follow directions.
If you experience Flu-like symptoms including Fever, Aches, Sore Throat or Shortness of Breath please DO NOT walk into the clinic. Please call your preferred practice for appointment information. Or call 000 in the event of an emergency.
Green Zone Practice
We are working hard to keep our Medical Centres a Virus-free zone for vulnerable patients.
You can help us by using our telehealth services rather than visiting the practice if you are unwell. Any patients who do visit will be asked to have a fever check before entering.
This will allow us to minimise the risk of spreading any viruses.
Your patience and help is appreciated during this time.

Telehealth (Phone) Consults
Our Bundaberg Doctors are providing bulk billed Telehealth (phone) consults to all patients who do not need a physical consult. All you need is a Medicare Card and working phone line.
To Book:
You can book your phone consult online or by calling the Family Practice at Hinkler on 4153 2927 or Family Practice at Sugarland on 4154 4000. The process is the same as booking a regular consult, you just need to specify that you want a Phone consult. If you are unsure whether you need a physical consult or phone consult please call us for advice.
How It Works:
> Once your phone consult is booked, keep your phone on you 30 minutes before and after the appointment time you booked.
> Your doctor will call you for your consult.
> If you need any scripts, referrals or medical certificates we can fax or email them to your chosen chemist or medical office.
! Our phone lines can be very busy at times. We will try to minimise delays, however we encourage online bookings if you have trouble getting through to us by phone.

Appointments
Our Standard appointments are 10 minutes long, however you are welcome to request a longer appointment if you feel that you will need extra time.
Online Appointment Policy
Online appointments only book a standard 10 minute consultation time slot. Certain examinations such as medicals, procedures and health assessments, or complex health conditions may take longer than a standard consultation so please phone us if you think you will need more time for your appointment.
*Please Note, that online bookings only make appointments for a single patient. If multiple patients will be attending please book one appointment per person or call us so we can arrange this for you.
Vaccine/immunisations cannot be booked online. please call us to book your appointment. If you fail to do so we may not be able to provide you with the immunisation you require.
Cancellation Policy
A $60 cancellation/no-show fee applies if you don’t cancel at least one hour prior to your appointment time if you can no longer attend.
The Family Practice strives to maintain accessible and affordable quality healthcare services. For that reason we have supported bulk billing for patients at the Family Practice at Sugarland and extended our opening hours on weekends at the Family Practice at Hinkler. To help us provide these services we do charge a gap fee for appointments at the Family Practice at Hinkler. Our receptionists can provide you with our fee structure prior to making an appointment.
All of our bundaberg doctors will be taking a short break this Easter. We will reopen Tuesday the 14th of April.
Both practices will be closed on ANZAC Day.
We do apologise if these hours causes you any inconvenience. Online bookings will be available throughout the public holidays so you can still book appointments.
