We are happy to offer video or phone consults alongside our face to face service for patients of the surgery.

Typically if you have been seen face to face in the surgery by any of our doctors in the last 12 months you will be eligible. for a rebate. We use COVIU as our video platform which does not require any apps of accounts on your end. We can also arrange phone consults for those uncomfortable or unable to perform video consults.

We are happy to assist you to recover and manage your Workers Compensation or CTP claim. Until a claim number is provided your consults will need to be self funded (and claimed back off your insurance company).
