✅ How to book Inner North Medical Clinic on Lygon Street
The clinic’s booking page lets patients search appointments across both the Lygon Street and Bluestone Way clinics. The practice specifically tells patients to look for “Lygon Street” or “Bluestone Way (EBV)” beside the doctor’s name so the booking goes to the intended location.
The clinic publishes three common GP appointment lengths: 10-minute short, 20-minute standard and 40-minute extended. The 10-minute option is offered by some doctors and is not intended for complex issues, mental-health plans, ADHD, multiple concerns or physical examinations.
Use the official Inner North Medical Clinic booking page so you can see live times across both Brunswick East locations.
Before selecting a time, make sure the appointment is marked for Lygon Street rather than Bluestone Way (EBV).
Use a standard or extended consultation when you have multiple issues, complex care, mental-health planning or concerns likely to need a physical examination.
Review the current rates page and note weekend or after-hours surcharges. New patients booking online receive the registration form as part of the booking process.
