The tenant doctors and staff at Waverley General Practice are committed to providing the highest standard of medical care in a friendly and courteous setting.

We are open 7 days a week from 8am-6pm weekdays, 9am to 1pm on Saturdays and 9am to 1pm on Sundays. The after hours clinic runs on Tuesday 6pm to 8pm.  Timings may change according to your Doctor availability
We are a private billing clinic and a Gap fee is payable. We are able to process Medicare claims and can automatically arrange for the Medicare rebate to be paid to you on the day. Please note that routine childhood vaccines for birth to 5 yrs are Bulk Billed.

APPOINTMENTS

The easiest way for you to see your doctor is to make an appointment. Doctors make every effort to see appointments as close to time as possible, unavoidable delays can occur when our doctors must attend to a patient with complex or serious medical conditions.
If you are unable to attend your appointment please notify our reception staff at least 3 hours before your appointment time.

Some consultations may require a longer appointment for things such as insurance/pre-employment medicals or you may have problems that need more time to discuss. Please inform the receptionist when booking if you may require an extended appointment.

We encourage you to see the doctor of your choice to ensure continuity of care and the establishment of a professional relationship.

SURGICAL PROCEDURES

To ensure the health and safety of our patients, all instruments used in procedures are sterile, disposable
instruments that may incur a small fee.
