Appointments

Camberwell Medical Group is a mixed-billing practice. Standard appointments are 15 minutes; new patients require a 30-minute appointment. If you have a complex problem or more than one concern, call reception so a longer appointment can be arranged.

Priority is given to medical emergencies and sick children. Delays can occur because doctors spend the time each patient needs. Please make a separate appointment for every family member who needs to see a doctor.

New-patient prescription policy: the clinic does not provide S4 or S8 drug scripts to new patients on weekends or public holidays.

After hours & emergencies

For medical needs outside practice hours, contact the nominated after-hours provider 13SICK on 137 425.

For emergencies, phone 000.

Results, prescriptions & referrals

Patients are generally required to consult a doctor to discuss results. Results may be provided by telephone after an appropriate identity check. Repeat prescriptions, referrals and other paperwork usually require an in-person or telehealth consultation.

Receptionists cannot access clinical information or accept clinical requests. Medical records, results and referrals are not sent by ordinary email because it is not encrypted.

Language support

Tell reception before your appointment if you need translation, interpreting or hearing support. The centre currently supports English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Persian and Farsi.

Cancellations

Please give at least two hours’ notice when cancelling or rescheduling. Late cancellations or non-attendance may incur a $30 fee.

Confidentiality & records

The practice maintains strict confidentiality and limits health-information access to authorised staff. Patients may request access to their medical records in writing under applicable privacy and health-records legislation.

With consent, information may be submitted to screening registers to support preventive health management.

Feedback & complaints

Feedback and suggestions are welcome and may be sent to reception for the practice manager. Patients have the right to safe, quality and respectful healthcare.

External complaints can be directed to the Health Complaints Commissioner on 1300 582 113 or through hcc.vic.gov.au.
