⏰ Sherbourne Road Medical Clinic hours in 2026
The clinic’s official Hours page lists Monday–Thursday 8:00 am–5:00 pm, Friday 8:00 am–4:00 pm, Saturday 8:30 am–12:00 pm, with Sunday and public holidays closed. However, other parts of the same official website display a later Friday finish.
As checked on 3 October 2026, the homepage opening-hours panel shows Friday closing at 4:45 pm, while the contact page and website footer show 5:00 pm. Because all three times appear on the clinic’s own site, this guide does not choose one as definitively correct.
| Day | Official information found | Patient planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Monday–Thursday | 8:00 am–5:00 pm | Consistent across current official pages. |
| Friday | 4:00 / 4:45 / 5:00 pm conflict | Call before travelling late Friday. |
| Saturday | 8:30 am–12:00 pm | Saturday doctor consultations are not bulk billed under the clinic’s published fee policy. |
| Sunday | Closed | Use after-hours or urgent-care pathways when appropriate. |
| Public holidays | Closed on the hours page | Check for any special notices before travelling. |
✅ How to book Sherbourne Road Medical Clinic
The clinic says general appointments can be booked online with most doctors through its website/AMS Connect system. Not every doctor enables online booking, so the absence of a doctor in the portal does not necessarily mean the doctor is unavailable.
Use the official “Book Online” button or the AMS Connect/AutoMed doctor list to check current appointment options.
Fees and new-patient rules vary by independent doctor. If you expect more than one concern, complex planning, forms, a full skin check or a first specialised consultation, check whether a longer appointment is required.
Reception can help with doctors who use phone booking, new-patient screening, urgent appointment requests, interpreter arrangements and appointment-length questions.
The clinic says it sends an appointment reminder about 48 hours before the scheduled visit. Reply or call promptly if you need to cancel or reschedule, because confirmed non-attendance can attract a fee.
💳 Sherbourne Road Medical Clinic fees, Medicare and bulk billing
Sherbourne Road Medical Clinic is not best understood as having one universal consultation price. The clinic explains that the doctors are independent doctors, and individual doctor pages publish different fees. Payment is due at the time of consultation, with eligible Medicare rebates processed after payment.
The central fee page states that Saturday doctor consultations are not bulk billed. It also publishes wound-care charges and confirmed non-attendance fees. Because doctor fees and Medicare rebates can change, use the current page for your doctor before relying on any amount.
| Published example | Current official amount found | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Dr Loretta Thorn standard consultation | $99 fee / $45.05 Medicare rebate | Doctor-specific published rate; not a clinic-wide standard fee. |
| Dr Ishita Palit standard consultation | $108 fee / $45.05 rebate | Shows why patients should check the chosen doctor’s own fee page. |
| Dr Robert Chu standard consultation | $128 fee / $45.05 rebate | His current page uses a different time-based fee schedule. |
| Nurse wound care with dressing consumables | $35 | Published on the clinic’s general fees page. |
| Nurse wound care without dressing consumables | $25 | Published nursing care-only fee. |
| Confirmed no-show: standard appointment | $75 | Published DNA/non-attendance fee. |
| Confirmed no-show: long appointment | $135 | Published DNA/non-attendance fee. |
