Barmera Medical Clinic in Australia 2026: Doctors, Hours & Booking

📍 Barmera Medical Clinic address, phone and map

Barmera Medical Clinic is situated at the Lake Bonney Private Medical Centre, 24 Hawdon Street, Barmera SA 5345, at the corner of Scott Avenue and Hawdon Street and adjacent to Barmera Health Service.

The clinic lists telephone as its preferred communication method. Reception can be reached on (08) 8588 2040, while the listed fax number is (08) 8588 3294. The practice says doctors are not routinely available to take or return calls during consulting sessions, so reception and nursing staff manage requests and liaise with doctors where required.

⏰ Barmera Medical Clinic opening hours in 2026

The clinic’s current official website lists regular consulting hours as 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday to Friday. The practice is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

Doctor schedules and appointment availability can be narrower than the overall clinic opening hours, so patients who need a particular GP should check the live booking pathway or call reception.

✅ How to book Barmera Medical Clinic

Barmera Medical Clinic says patients can book online through HotDoc. The clinic also uses HotDoc for SMS appointment reminders, clinical reminders and recalls. If online appointments do not match your needs, call reception directly.

Each patient requires a separate appointment. The practice also asks patients who have several problems, complex issues or large forms to tell reception because a longer consultation may be needed.

💳 Barmera Medical Clinic bulk billing and fees

Barmera Medical Clinic says that from 1 November 2025 it became a fully bulk-billing practice for eligible Medicare-funded services provided to patients with a current and valid Medicare card.

The eligible services listed by the clinic include face-to-face GP consultations, GP telehealth consultations, chronic condition management plans, mental health treatment plans and health assessments.

“Fully bulk billing” does not mean that every service at the clinic has no cost. The clinic specifically lists procedures, diagnostic procedures, medical assessments, wound or fracture supplies, paperwork, non-Medicare services and patients without a Medicare number as situations where private or gap fees can apply.

👥 Barmera Medical Clinic doctors in 2026

The clinic’s current official Our People page lists a substantial rural general-practice team. Some doctors also have rural generalist, anaesthetic or special-interest roles. Doctor sessions can change, so the names below should be used as a roster guide rather than a guarantee that a particular doctor is available on a particular day.

🩺 Barmera Medical Clinic services

The clinic’s current services page lists broad general-practice care for Barmera and surrounding Riverland communities. Some services may require a longer appointment, particular doctor, nurse support, equipment or an additional fee.

🧪 SA Pathology and visiting specialists at Barmera Medical Clinic

The clinic’s current people page lists SA Pathology (IMVS) collections at Barmera Medical Clinic on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. Collection schedules can change, so confirm the current session before attending for a time-sensitive test.

The same page lists visiting specialist clinics including a respiratory and sleep physician, endocrinology and psychiatry. Visiting specialist schedules can be intermittent rather than daily, and referrals or separate booking arrangements may be required.

📱 Barmera Medical Clinic telehealth and home visits

The clinic lists both GP telehealth consultations and telehealth appointments with specialists. Eligible GP telehealth consultations are included in the clinic’s current bulk-billing policy for valid Medicare card holders.

Whether telehealth is appropriate depends on the clinical problem and relevant Medicare requirements. A doctor may still require an in-person review when physical examination, testing, vaccination, wound care or another hands-on service is needed.

Home visits are also listed, but specifically at the doctor’s discretion. Patients should call reception rather than assuming a home visit is automatically available.

🌙 Barmera Medical Clinic after-hours GP service

Barmera Medical Clinic operates a weekday after-hours service between 5:30 pm and 11:00 pm Monday to Friday. Patients access this service by calling the normal clinic number, (08) 8588 2040, which diverts to the on-call GP.

The clinic says that if the GP is unavailable, callers will hear instructions directing emergencies to 000 and non-life-threatening health questions to healthdirect on 1800 022 222.

🚑 Barmera and Riverland emergency care

Barmera Medical Clinic is a general practice and should not be confused with a continuously open emergency department. The clinic is co-located with Barmera Health Service, whose current SA Health information lists accident and emergency services from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays.

Outside those Barmera Health Service emergency hours, SA Health directs patients to Riverland General Hospital, 10 Maddern Street, Berri SA 5343. Riverland General Hospital provides accident and emergency services and can be contacted on (08) 8580 2400. For a medical emergency, call 000 rather than driving yourself if ambulance care is required.

♿ Accessibility, interpreters and special needs

The clinic asks patients who need an interpreter or have another special requirement to tell reception when booking because additional consultation time may be required.

The practice provides information about the Translating and Interpreting Service, and its patient information page lists 131 450 for TIS. People with hearing or speech impairments can also ask about communication support when arranging an appointment.

SA Health states that the co-located Barmera Health Service has full disability access and on-site disabled parking. If you need wheelchair access or other assistance specifically for the medical clinic, call reception before attending so staff can confirm arrangements.
