Patient Information

Prescriptions

The doctors at the Family Practice Medical Centres all 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 are only provided after a consult. So you will need to book either a physical or telehealth appointment. 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. So you will need to book either a physical or telehealth appointment. Only a doctor will discuss results with a patient. Our other staff members cannot provide this information, so please book to discuss any results or recalls.

Recalls
An SMS message will be sent 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 walking-in, we recommend that patients call ahead if they have an urgent need.
Often we do have same day appointments reserved for urgent needs. However, calling ahead gives us the chance to triage your needs and minimise the time you are left waiting in the practice.
Can I get a medical certificate for yesterday?
The short answer is no.
Medical certificates are dated the day of your consult and may include future days if your GP considers this clinically relevant. However, a medical certificate cannot and will not be backdated to cover previous days. To issue a false, misleading or inaccurate certificate would compromise our doctors ethical and legal duties; exposing them to disciplinary action under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law. Therefore, they will not write a certificate when they have not witnessed the patient’s condition on those days.
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)
How do I transfer my medical records?
Your medical records are important. So remember to take them with you when you change medical centres.

Transferring Medical Records To Us
You can ask us to request your medical records from a previous practice at any time. Although, we recommend arranging the transfer prior to or during your first appointment with us.
To arrange the transfer we will complete a written request and ask you to sign a transfer authority. We will then send this to your previous medical provider on your behalf. The benefit of transferring your records before your first consult is because it:
  • helps your new doctor make responsible clinical decisions that may have to be delayed if the information is not available,
  • means we have a history of your medications and relevant diagnosis, so we can continue to provide prescriptions,
  • can help ensure we do not “over-service” or refer you for something you have already done and;
  • also tells our doctors which specialists you have seen previously and may prefer to see again.
*Please remember that without your medical history, our doctors may not be able to provide you with some services or may be forced to refuse your requests.
