Appointment lengths and when to book longer

Telehealth appointments

Telehealth appointments are available at The Garden Family Medical Clinic when the patient has had a face-to-face consultation at either the Murdoch or Piara Waters clinic within the previous 12 months. If you are unsure whether you meet the eligibility requirement, contact the clinic before selecting telehealth.

Fees, Medicare and billing

The Garden Family Medical Clinic describes itself as a privately billing clinic. Payment is due on the day of consultation and can be made by cash, EFTPOS or credit card. The practice states that a Medicare rebate can be deposited directly into the patient’s account where the patient is registered for same-day claiming.

Individual practitioners may charge different fees, so do not rely on a generic fee estimate when planning an appointment. Ask the clinic about the current fee for the specific doctor and appointment type you intend to book.

On-the-day urgent appointments

The clinic says it provides some on-the-day appointment slots for emergencies and urgent care. These appointments operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so they should not be treated as guaranteed same-day appointments.

For a time-sensitive but non-life-threatening problem, call the clinic during business hours and explain the urgency. For a medical emergency, call 000 or attend the nearest emergency department.

After-hours GP care

The Garden states that after-hours appointments can be arranged through Dial-A-Doctor on 1300 030 030. The clinic also makes clear that Dial-A-Doctor is an independent service and is not affiliated with The Garden Family Medical Clinic.

Home visits in Piara Waters

During clinic opening hours, the practice says its GPs may offer home visits at their discretion. A home visit must be considered safe and reasonable for the GP and must be within a 5 km radius of the clinic. If a home visit is not considered safe or reasonable after triage, the practice says a telephone consultation may be offered instead.

Useful accessibility and communication support

The practice says its Healthcare Assistants help patients with appointment scheduling, questions and connection to appropriate services. The Garden is registered with the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) for non-English-speaking patients and recommends the National Auslan Interpreter Booking Service for hearing-impaired patients.
