Booking a doctor at Paramount Medical Clinic

Have a short explanation ready, such as general consultation, skin concern, travel vaccination, student health, mental health, chronic disease review or a medical certificate.
If you want a particular GP, ask reception whether that doctor is consulting on your preferred day. Doctor schedules can differ.
Use the clinic’s official booking information or call (03) 8627 8500. Walk-ins are advertised, but an appointment can reduce uncertainty about waiting time.
Bring Medicare details if applicable, current medication information, referral or previous medical documents, vaccination records and any forms the doctor needs to complete.
Student discounts and Medicare claiming are advertised, but fees can depend on the service, eligibility and circumstances. Confirm the expected cost when booking.
Paramount Medical Clinic fees, Medicare and student discounts
The clinic advertises on-the-spot Medicare claiming, meaning eligible patients can have Medicare claiming processed at the practice rather than handling the claim separately.
