Balnarring Medical Clinic doctors in 2026

The clinic’s current GP page lists six doctors consulting from Balnarring Medical Centre. Doctor availability and new-patient status can change, so patients should check the official doctor information or booking system before selecting a GP.

Who can book as a new patient?

Balnarring Medical Centre currently lists Dr Ivan Delgado, Dr Chio Mafunga, Dr Harry Jennens and Dr Abram Abdelsayed as accepting new patients. Dr Mo Mafunga and Dr Sarah Romilly are listed as not accepting new patients.

The practice requires a double appointment for an initial consultation. New patients can complete the clinic’s registration information in advance, and patients transferring from another practice can arrange a medical-record transfer through the clinic.

How to book a Balnarring Medical Centre appointment

1. Choose your doctor or appointment type. Check the current doctor list and identify a GP who is accepting new patients if you are not already registered.
2. Book online or call. The clinic offers online bookings through HotDoc and accepts appointment requests by phone on (03) 5983 1355.
3. Allow extra time for a first visit. New patients are asked to book a double appointment, so do not select a standard short appointment when registering for the first time.
4. Confirm fees. The practice is private billing and individual GPs have autonomy regarding their billing practices. Ask reception about the expected fee and Medicare rebate before attending if cost is important to you.
5. Bring relevant information. Have your Medicare details, current medication list, previous medical information and any referral or test documentation that may be relevant to your appointment.
6. Follow respiratory-symptom instructions. If you have cough, fever, sore throat, shortness of breath or other cold/flu symptoms, follow the clinic’s current arrival instructions rather than entering the waiting room without checking with reception.

Balnarring Medical Centre opening hours

Opening hours are based on the clinic’s published contact information. Doctor consulting hours are different from reception/clinic opening hours, so a particular GP may not be available throughout the entire clinic day.

What services does Balnarring Medical Clinic provide?

The practice describes its doctors as providing broad general-practice and family-medicine care. Services listed by the clinic include:

Not every doctor provides every service, and appointment length can depend on the reason for your visit. If you need a specific procedure, infusion, skin assessment or longer consultation, tell reception when booking so the clinic can allocate the appropriate appointment.

Skin cancer clinic at Balnarring Medical Centre

The clinic has a dedicated skin-cancer service associated with Dr Abram Abdelsayed. The practice states that he has certificates in dermoscopy and skin-cancer surgery from the Skin Cancer College of Australasia and a Certificate in Advanced Surgical Skills from James Cook University.

The listed skin-cancer services include full skin examinations, assessment of new or changing moles and lesions, skin-cancer detection and management, biopsy and clinically appropriate treatment, and follow-up skin surveillance.

Fees and billing: what Balnarring patients should know

Balnarring Medical Centre describes itself as a private-billing clinic. The practice says GPs bill privately and payment is required directly after the consultation. Individual doctors have autonomy over their billing practices, so the exact out-of-pocket cost can vary by consultation and doctor.

Fees, rebates and eligibility can change. The clinic’s current fee information should take priority over third-party listings or older fee examples.

Pathology, parking and accessibility

Telehealth and phone consultations

The practice’s communication information says that patients who want to speak with their doctor may be able to arrange a phone appointment through reception. Medicare rebates for eligible telehealth consultations can depend on the patient’s circumstances, including having had an appropriate face-to-face consultation within the relevant period.

Because telehealth eligibility and fees can change, call reception before assuming that a phone or video consultation will be Medicare-rebatable or available for your particular concern.

What to do if Balnarring Medical Centre is closed

The clinic publishes an after-hours locum service number: 13 26 60. For non-life-threatening medical problems outside normal clinic hours, you can also use Australia’s healthdirect service information to identify appropriate after-hours care.

For urgent but non-life-threatening symptoms, Healthdirect can help you identify appropriate services, including after-hours doctors and urgent-care options. Victoria also has virtual emergency-care options for eligible non-life-threatening emergencies.
