Our GP Services

What Our GPs Can Help With

Whatever brings you in, a standard consultation is where it starts. Our GPs see patients of all ages across the full breadth of general practice:

Routine check-ups and preventive care

Skin checks and minor skin procedures

Chronic condition care plans (GPCCMP)

Travel Advice & Vaccinations

Mental health care plans

Work Cover, driving, insurance and pre-employment medicals

Children's health, from birth through adolescence

Spirometry, ECG, iron infusions, ear syringe and suction

Women's health and men's health

Fracture management

On-the-spot pathology collection is available onsite, so most tests do not require visiting a separate collection centre.

When to visit

When Should You See a GP?

Not every health concern announces itself loudly. Severe chest pain, sudden weakness or drooping in the face, slurred speech or serious trouble breathing are ambulance territory: call 000 rather than booking an appointment. Most of what a GP catches early looks far more ordinary than that.

Symptoms
A cough that has hung around beyond three weeks. A mole or skin spot that has changed shape or colour. Unexplained weight loss, unusual tiredness that rest does not fix, a change in bowel habits, or a low mood that has lasted more than a couple of weeks. None of these means something is wrong, and that is the point of the appointment: a GP can rule things out early, when the options are widest. If a symptom is persistent, getting worse, or simply unusual for you, it deserves a look.

Check-ups
Some of the most valuable GP visits happen when nothing feels wrong. Medicare supports specific preventive checks at different life stages, including a heart health check and a health assessment for people aged 45 to 49 at risk of chronic disease, and cervical and bowel screening run on their own schedules. Your GP can tell you which of these are due for you, so screening happens on time rather than when a symptom forces it.
