⏰ Knox Gardens Medical Clinic hours in 2026
The strongest current source is the clinic’s refreshed official website. It says open 7 days, with weekday appointments from 8:30 am and weekend sessions available. The current searchable homepage does not expose a complete day-by-day closing-time table, so this guide does not present third-party closing times as if they were official.
The most recent detailed timetable found in an official clinic practice-information PDF is older: it lists Monday and Tuesday 8:30 am–8:00 pm, Wednesday to Friday 8:30 am–7:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday 9:00 am–1:00 pm, and public holidays closed. Current 2026 directory listings differ on some closing times, so use this older official timetable only as historical reference and confirm today’s hours through the clinic before a late or weekend visit.
| Day / period | Current status we can verify | Patient action |
|---|---|---|
| Monday–Friday | Open; appointments from 8:30 am | Check the official booking flow or call reception for the current closing time and doctor roster. |
| Saturday | Weekend session available | Confirm the day’s finish time before travelling. |
| Sunday | Weekend session available | Confirm the day’s finish time before travelling. |
| Public holidays | Not clearly stated on refreshed homepage | Call or check the live booking page; do not rely on the old PDF alone. |
✅ How to book Knox Gardens Medical Centre
The current clinic website says patients can book online with HotDoc or call reception. Because a direct HotDoc URL was not reliably surfaced in the current search results, the safest link on this guide opens the clinic’s own website first; from there, use its Book Online button.
Use the clinic-owned website rather than an unverified directory listing. Tap the Book Online option to enter the practice’s current HotDoc booking flow.
The official doctor roster currently lists four GPs. Select the doctor, appointment type and live time that suit your needs, or call reception if you are unsure.
The clinic’s practice information has long advised patients to tell reception when several issues, procedures or longer discussions may require more appointment time.
Bring your current Medicare card if applicable and any relevant medicine list, referrals, test information or forms. Ask about fees if you need a non-standard service.
💳 Bulk billing, Medicare and possible extra fees
The current official Knox Gardens Medical Centre homepage states that it is a bulk billing practice seven days a week for eligible Medicare card holders. This is the most current clinic-owned billing statement found during the October 2026 review.
You may still need to confirm fees for services that fall outside a standard eligible Medicare consultation. Older clinic information specifically identified WorkCover, patients without a Medicare card and some medical reports as fee situations. Allied-health services such as podiatry can also have their own billing arrangements; healthdirect currently shows fees apply for the podiatry service at this address.
| Patient / service situation | 2026 guide | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible Medicare card holder seeking standard GP care | Official site says bulk billing | Make sure your appointment/service is Medicare-eligible and bring your current card. |
| No current Medicare eligibility | Private fee likely | Ask reception for the current private consultation fee. |
| WorkCover, report, form or non-standard service | Confirm before booking | Ask for the total fee and whether a Medicare rebate applies. |
| Podiatry / allied health | Separate billing may apply | Confirm the practitioner fee before the allied-health appointment. |

| Results | Your GP will advise if a follow-up appointment is needed; urgent/significant results are contacted as soon as practicable. | Do not assume “no call” always means no follow-up is required. |
| Repeat prescriptions | A repeat prescription may require an appointment. | Book before medication runs out if a review may be needed. |
| Referrals | Referrals may require an appointment and cannot be backdated. | Arrange the referral before the specialist visit when possible. |
