Your First Appointment

Thank you for choosing us as your care provider.

On the day of your appointment, please arrive 10-minutes early to ensure we have enough time to prepare any outstanding paperwork.

We are mindful that your time is valuable and would like to avoid keeping you waiting. However, occasionally a patient may present that requires a little extra time spent on them, which may cause unforeseeable scheduling delays beyond our control. Where possible, we will advise you if we are running late. We apologise in advance if you are kept waiting.

During your first appointment, a thorough medical and diagnostic work-up may be required. If you have completed any tests (blood test results, MRI within 6-months, X-Ray, CT scan, etc), please email these to our administration team prior to your appointment date so that Dr X can thoroughly review them during your appointment.

Online Registration

Once you have secured an appointment time and date, you will be requested to complete our Online Patient Registration Form prior to your appointment so that you don’t have to manually complete it on the day.
If you prefer to complete your questionnaire on the day in person, then please arrive earlier to allow time for your paperwork to be completed.

What To Bring

Medicare, DVA and Pension cards
