Prepare the appointment

How to book the correct appointment

Healthdirect says an appointment is needed. HotDoc is useful for routine GP care, while reception is better for procedures, allied health and complex visits.

  1. Identify the taskRoutine GP care, treatment room, skin check, infusion, family planning, WorkCover/TAC or allied health.
  2. Check HotDocSelect the practitioner and appointment type that match the task rather than the first available time.
  3. Call when uncertainReception can recommend a doctor, longer appointment or service-specific booking.
  4. Confirm billingAsk whether Medicare, a private fee, telehealth payment, vaccine cost or procedure charge applies.

Useful booking phone script

“I need an appointment for [brief reason]. Is a standard GP appointment suitable, or do I need a treatment-room, procedure, longer or allied-health booking? Will any fee apply?”
COVID-19 vaccination: The clinic’s online-booking page asks patients to phone reception for COVID-19 vaccination appointments instead of using the standard online pathway.

Duff Street Medical Clinic opening hours

The clinic homepage and healthdirect agree on the schedule below. The clinic says hours remain subject to GP availability, so confirm late and public-holiday visits.

DayPublished hoursPatient planning note
Monday–Friday8:00 am–11:00 pmConfirm the doctor before relying on a late-evening appointment.
Saturday9:00 am–5:30 pmThe contact page shows 6:00 pm, so confirm late Saturday bookings.
Sunday9:00 am–5:30 pmThe contact page shows a different Sunday schedule; call before travelling early or late.
Public holidays10:00 am–4:00 pmThe contact page shows 10:00 am–5:00 pm, so same-day confirmation is important.
Why hours differ online: The clinic’s contact page publishes longer weekend and public-holiday hours than its homepage, booking page and healthdirect. Use 9:00 am–5:30 pm for Saturday and Sunday and 10:00 am–4:00 pm for public holidays as the safer planning window, then call to confirm.

Bulk billing, telehealth and possible charges

The clinic and healthdirect describe in-person general practice as bulk billing with a Medicare card. Separate charges can apply to telehealth, private vaccines, skin checks, cosmetic care and allied-health services.

On-site convenience

Private billing$120The website states $72.80 may be reimbursed by Medicare.

Confirm before relying on the package

Ask whether pathology, dressings, complex excision, multiple lesions or later follow-up create extra charges. Website wording and Medicare benefits can change.
