Consultation Fees

For your convenience the fees are the same for each of the doctors. The Hub Medical Centre is a mixed billing practice. All pension card holders and children under 16 years are bulk billed. For all other patients, a standard consultation is billed at $65 and a long consultation is $120. Please present your valid Medicare card at each appointment.

Reminders

Our practice is committed to preventative care. We may issue you with a reminder notice from time to time. If you do not wish to be a part of this system, please let us know at reception.

Confidentiality

Your medical record is a confidential document. It is the policy of this practice to maintain security of personal health information at all times and to ensure that this information is only available to authorised members of staff.

Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions may be requested without a consultation. The fee for this service is $15.

Referrals

Requests for ongoing or reissuing of expired referrals without a consultation will incur a $20 fee, if the doctor is happy to write without a consultation. Any new referrals will need an appointment to be written.

Requests for results

Phoning for results can be done daily between the hours of 3pm and 5pm. If the nurse on duty is unavailable at the time of your call, a message will be taken for her to call you back. Feel free to discuss any medical concerns you have with the nursing staff.

Hygiene

Hub Medical Centre has strict infection controls in place to avoid risks of disease or illness transfer, including autoclaving of medical instruments. Patients with potentially contagious conditions or low immune systems can wait in a private area to be seen.

Home visits

Home visits are available to regular patients who reside within 5km of the surgery. Should you require a home visit, please phone and talk with the reception staff who will discuss the situation with the Doctor and make the appropriate arrangements.

Doctor Communications

The Doctors of The Hub Medical Centre are happy to speak to patients over the phone provided messages are left. The doctors will return calls at a convenient time.

Personal Service

Practice nurses are available on duty during business hours to discuss any problems, whether a patient of the surgery or not.
