Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic we are currently facing, Belgian Gardens Medical Centre is committed to providing you with care for as long as we can, while also keeping our patients, Doctors and Staff safe.
For this reason, we have decided that we will continue with Telephone Consultations if you wish to use this service.
As of 1st October 2020, due to the changes in Medicare legislation, we are unable to bulk bill this service.
For a STANDARD TELEPHONE CONSULTATION. The Doctor will call your phone number as close to the time chosen as possible.
If you have been to the Practice within the last 12 months, there is a fee of $60, with a rebate of $38.75.
If you haven't attended the Practice in the last 12 months, there will be a non-rebateable fee of $60 payable for this consultation.
If you have no cold or flu symptoms, and you require a physical appointment, please call the Practice on 4771 6666. You are to come into the practice AT YOUR ALLOCATED time and you are to attend the appointment on your own.
We also advise that we are NOT able to take any new patients at this time with the exception of initial Mirena consultations, HRT and Aviation Medicals. Please also note that these consultations are billed as a non-rebateable fee also.
We understand that this is a hard time for everyone, and we ask that you respect our Staff also, as we are all just trying to get through this pandemic the best way that we can.
Our Nurses are still available for advice on cold/flu symptoms and anything else you may wish to ask that doesn’t require doctor intervention.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation at this time.
We strive to provide the best care to every patient, in a friendly and caring environment.
