What is it?

A general medicine practitioner is a highly trained specialist who provides a range of non-surgical health care services. Doctors care for difficult, serious and unusual medical problems, and usually continue seeing the patient until those problems have either been resolved, or stabilised.

GP Telehealth


Telehealth is the use of technology that enables remote healthcare. Basically it makes it possible for practitioners to treat patients by using a computer or smartphone. Telehealth is similar to a face to face appointment, but is conducted over the telephone.

Our GP team have now returned back to face-to-face appointments, and Telehealth upon request. Please call reception on 07 3249 5333 to book a telehealth appointment.
