Most consultations are by appointment to avoid keeping patients waiting. Should you attend without an appointment, we do our best to meet your needs, without delaying other pre-booked patients.

Current fees are on display at each of the reception desks. We accept cash, cheque, some credit cards and Eftpos. We encourage you to pay on the day of the consultation. If you are having financial difficulties please discuss this with your doctor.

Not all our doctors bulk bill Centrelink issued card or under 16 patients, please ensure you check when making an appointment of any costs that may be involved.

We have doctors who are able to assist in translating;

Please advise us of any language or communication support requirements when booking, so we can make suitable arrangements in advance.

When you visit Mannum Medical Centre for the first time, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly and patient-focused environment dedicated to the care of you and your family. Upon arrival, you’ll be asked to complete a patient information form (a printable version is available above). Based on your health concerns, for example obstetrics or skin cancer, you may be matched with a particular doctor for an initial consultation.

Our team is committed to providing personalised care, and you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your condition in detail with a highly skilled practitioner who will work with you to develop a tailored approach to your health and wellbeing.

To help us give you the best care possible, it’s a good idea to let reception know what your appointment is about when you book. That way, we can make sure your doctor has enough time and is prepared with anything needed for your visit. Providing this information in advance helps us deliver more efficient, personalised care tailored to your specific needs.

All test results and reports from specialist visits must be discussed with a doctor during a follow-up appointment. We recommend booking this appointment approximately two weeks after your test to allow time for results to be received and reviewed. This ensures your doctor can provide accurate information and appropriate next steps for your care.

It is in your best interest to see a Doctor each time you require a script for medication.

This includes if it is a follow up requested by the specialist and it has been more than 12 months since the initial appointment with the specialist.

Please contact a nurse at the clinic who will discuss with the GP. The GP will decide if a home visit is necessary and safe and reasonable to do so. When requesting a home visit please explain the urgency and location. It may be that an alternative of a GP Healthline, telehealth service, after-hours clinic or transfer by SAAS is of more benefit.

Note: You may be charged an $80 fee for non attendance or short notice fee cancellations.

When a patient fails to attend a booked appointment it results in another patient missing out on an opportunity of seeing their preferred Doctor.
