Family Health
Our team of General Practitioners consist of two male and three female GPs. All of our doctors are highly trained and passionate about ensuring the best possible health outcomes for all members of your family. Our Doctors specialise in all aspects of men’s, women’s and paediatric health concerns.
Immunisations
Our practice provides all government funded childhood immunisations in accordance with the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule and Register. All childhood immunisations are fully funded by Medicare. We also provide other government supplied vaccinations as well as annual Influenza vaccinations. All government supplied immunisations are bulk billed. See more information on Immunisation towards the bottom of the page.
Chronic Disease and Care Planning
At Scotvale Medical Centre our patients health and well-being are our number one priority. We have a dedicated care plan nurse whose role is to ensure our patients suffering from a chronic illness such as diabetes, coronary heart disease or mental illness are provided with the best possible medical care. We offer annual comprehensive health assessments and care plans, which are fully funded by Medicare. Our care plan nurse works very closely with our GPs to arrange referrals and ongoing support to minimize the impact of Chronic Illnesses and to maximize the health of our patients.
Pathology
Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology provides onsite
pathology services between 8.30am and 11.30am Monday to Friday at Scotvale Medical Centre. Outside of these hours our highly trained clinical staff are able to assist you with your pathology needs.
Results
Our doctors will advise you as to when they expect your results to arrive at the practice. Our practice will then notify you via a text message using HotDoc services if you need to return to see the doctor regarding your test results. If there are no abnormalities with your test results, you will not receive notification from the practice.
If you wish to call the practice and speak with the nursing staff regarding results, it would be appreciated if you could please call between 12.00pm and 2.00pm. Outside of these hours the nurses may not be available to take phone calls.
Recalls and Reminders
Our practice is committed to preventative care. Your Doctor will seek your permission to be included in our reminder system. We may issue you with a reminder notice from time to time offering you preventative health services appropriate to your care. If you do not wish to be part of this system please let your Doctor or the receptionist know. The Federal Government also provides an independent reminder system for certain conditions. Our practice will only provide them with your health information with your permission.
We also provide an annual nurse base home visit for all our regular patients over 75 and will also offer any patient with a chronic medical condition the option of a comprehensive care plan. These services are fully funded by Medicare.
Repeat Prescriptions
48 hours’ notice is required for a repeat prescription. Repeat prescriptions are written only at the doctor’s discretion. We kindly ask that our patients ensure prescriptions do not run out. Repeat prescriptions are unable to be written if you have not attended the practice within the last 3 months. A prescription without a consultation will incur a fee of $15.00 to be paid for on collection of your prescription. Please note, antibiotics and authority prescriptions cannot be prescribed without consulting a doctor.
