If you are looking for Marden Medical Clinic in Australia in 2026, the clinic’s current official information lists 12 Lower Portrush Road, Marden SA 5070, phone (08) 8362 7032, seven-day opening hours, online appointment booking, GP telehealth and onsite pathology collection.
A major update from older listings is billing: the clinic now states that all Medicare-eligible patients are bulk billed for GP consultations. Some procedures and allied-health visits can still attract out-of-pocket costs, so patients should confirm the fee when booking anything beyond a standard Medicare-eligible GP consultation.

How to book Marden Medical Clinic
The clinic operates mainly by appointment. Its appointment page says walk-ins can be accommodated to the best of the clinic’s ability and are triaged for urgency, but patients should not depend on walk-in availability for routine care. Urgent appointments are given priority when reception is told that urgent assistance is needed.
The clinic lists a standard appointment as 10 minutes for one issue. Long appointments are 20–30 minutes for more than one issue or when additional time is needed.
Open the clinic’s official booking page to see available appointments. Call reception for urgent needs, procedures, complex visits, home-visit requests or questions about the correct appointment type.
Take your Medicare card, medicine list, relevant specialist or hospital letters, pathology or imaging information and any licence, WorkCover or other form that the doctor needs to review.
The clinic says a small non-attendance fee may apply when an appointment is missed without at least two hours’ notice. For some procedures, separate deposit or cancellation rules can apply.
Marden Medical Clinic bulk billing and possible out-of-pocket costs
The clinic’s current About page and billing announcement say all Medicare-eligible patients are bulk billed for GP consultations. That is newer and more direct than older directory descriptions that still refer to mixed billing. Eligible patients should therefore use the clinic’s current policy as the starting point, while still confirming any service that is not a routine GP consultation.
| Service situation | Current clinic wording | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Medicare-eligible GP consultation | Bulk billed | Bring a valid Medicare card and confirm the appointment remains Medicare eligible. |
| Procedure | Out-of-pocket may apply | Ask for the procedure fee, deposit rule and any Medicare rebate information before booking. |
| Allied health | Out-of-pocket may apply | Podiatry, physiotherapy, dietetics, audiology and other allied-health billing can differ from GP billing. |
| No Medicare eligibility | Private fee possible | Ask reception for the current private fee before the appointment. |
| IUD consultation/procedure | Special booking rules | The clinic announcement describes a $120 booking deposit for Mirena/Kyleena insertion or removal and separate procedure-fee rules for some contraceptive procedures. |

GP, nursing and allied-health services

Onsite pathology collection
Marden Medical Clinic lists Australian Clinical Labs onsite Monday to Saturday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. The clinic says appointments are not needed for standard tests. That does not mean every test can be collected without preparation, so follow the instructions on your pathology request and confirm fasting or timing requirements when unsure.
| Pathology need | What the clinic publishes | Practical step |
|---|---|---|
| Standard collection | Mon–Sat 8:30 am–12:30 pm; standard tests do not need an appointment. | Bring the request form and Medicare details. |
| Fasting test | Preparation depends on the ordered test. | Follow the request instructions or confirm before eating/drinking. |
| Results | Patients should return to their doctor for test results. | Arrange the appropriate follow-up appointment. |
Telehealth, walk-ins and home visits
The clinic lists a 10-minute telephone telehealth consultation. Current eligibility wording says patients must either have been seen at the clinic within the previous 12 months or be registered for MyMedicare with this clinic. Reception can confirm whether your situation meets current Medicare rules and whether an in-person examination is more appropriate.
Telehealth
- 10-minute telephone consultation listed.
- The doctor calls the patient on the day before close of business.
- Clinic attendance within 12 months or MyMedicare registration is listed as an eligibility route.
- Results can be discussed by arranging a telephone consultation.
Walk-ins & home visits
- The clinic runs by bookings, but walk-ins may be accommodated and triaged.
- Urgent appointments are prioritised when reception is told about urgency.
- Home visits may be arranged for local patients in certain circumstances at the doctor’s discretion.
- Call reception rather than assuming a home visit is available.
Seniors, health assessments and carers
The clinic publishes health-assessment information for people aged over 75 and for eligible adults aged 45–49. Its elderly-care information also discusses medication review, mobility, falls risk, nutrition, exercise, home safety, care arrangements and support networks.
For an older patient with several conditions, recent hospital paperwork or a long medicine list, ask reception whether a long appointment is more appropriate than a 10-minute standard booking. Bringing a carer or support person can also help with medicines, referrals, pathology and follow-up instructions when the patient wants that support.
After-hours, urgent and emergency care
The clinic’s contact page says the National Home Doctor Service is used for after-hours urgent problems during the night, weekends and public holidays, with home visits arranged on 13 74 25. The clinic says a record of the locum visit is sent to the patient’s own doctor and added to the clinical file.
| Care option | Use it for | Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Marden Medical Clinic | Routine GP care, urgent same-day requests during clinic hours, procedures and follow-up. | (08) 8362 7032 |
| National Home Doctor Service | After-hours urgent but non-life-threatening problems when home-doctor care is appropriate. | 13 74 25 |
| healthdirect | 24/7 health advice when you are unsure which level of care to seek. | 1800 022 222 |
| Triple Zero | Critical or life-threatening emergency. | 000 |
