How to book a Murchison Medical Clinic appointment
Use the HotDoc doctor directory for online appointment options, or call (03) 5826 2575 if you prefer to speak with reception.
Review the available practitioner/session options. If the reason for your visit requires extra time, tell reception when booking.
Keep the appointment confirmation and allow enough time to arrive at 21 Impey Street, particularly if you are travelling from outside Murchison.
Billing can depend on the patient, consultation and current practice policy. Confirm the expected out-of-pocket amount rather than assuming every visit is bulk billed.
What services does Murchison Medical Clinic provide?
Public practice information describes Murchison Medical Clinic as a general practice offering care across routine, preventive and family health needs. Services listed publicly include:
- General health and wellbeing consultations
- Family health
- Men’s health

- Travel health
- Preventative health and health assessments
- Chronic disease management and care planning

Pathology at or near the clinic
Dorevitch Pathology is listed at the Murchison Medical Clinic address. Public business information lists weekday collection hours of approximately 8:30 am–12:30 pm, while older clinic information specifically described pathology onsite on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 am to 11 am. Because pathology collection times can change, confirm the current collection schedule before attending for a test.
Important: A pathology collection service is different from a GP appointment. If you need both, ask whether your GP has requested the test and whether fasting or another preparation is required.
Murchison Medical Clinic fees and bulk billing
Older publicly indexed practice information reports bulk billing for certain preventive and care-planning appointments, pensioners, Health Care Card holders and children under 16, with DVA Gold Card arrangements also described. The same listing gives older standard and long-consultation fees, but those figures should not be treated as confirmed 2026 prices.
Practical tips for your appointment
- Bring your Medicare card and any concession or DVA card that applies to you.
- Bring medication information, especially if you are seeing a new GP or discussing repeat prescriptions.
- Bring relevant reports such as specialist letters, pathology results or imaging reports when they are available.
- Explain the main reason for the visit when booking. This helps reception select an appropriate appointment length.
- For pathology, check preparation requirements before travelling to the collection service.
- For a chronic condition, ask about follow-up timing rather than waiting until medication or monitoring is due.
- If you are travelling from a nearby town, confirm the doctor session first. The clinic’s opening hours do not guarantee every practitioner is consulting that day.
