If you are concerned that you may have Coronavirus COVID-19 infection, or your employer is requesting that you get tested for the virus or cleared to work, please do not make an appointment or come into the medical centre. Please call us and explain the situation to our receptionist who will arrange a telephone consultation with a doctor. This is to avoid the spread of infection to others.
We also offer telephone consultations regarding non-COVID matters if this is more convenient for you. There are obviously situations where we will need to see you but we will endeavour to do as much as we can by telephone.
Telephone consultation fees apply (for eligible patients a medicare rebate is available but you must have been seen at a face-to-face appointment at our clinic in the preceding 12 months to claim this).
Please also note new fees effective from July 1st 2023.
Masks are now optional at the clinic (except for patients with cold symptoms who must continue to wear them and let reception know of their symptoms on arrival)
Dr Romi Gordon is unable to see patients with cough or cold symptoms and requires that all her patients wear a mask during the consultation.
Appointments
Routine appointments are available from 7:00-6:00 Mon-Fri and 9:00-6:00 on weekends and public holidays.
Bookings are preferred, but if you attend without an appointment, we will normally be able to arrange an appointment for you within a couple of hours, often straightaway. If possible please book online using the "Book Now" button below.
Online bookings are available up to 1 hour before the appointment time. If you need an appointment sooner, or for procedures (e.g., Pap smears) or long appointments including for medicals (e.g., for a driving licence), please ring reception. You can also download the Healthengine App for your phone for future bookings.
If you are unable to make your appointment please ring to let us know (or cancel online. Making a further online appointment does not cancel your existing one). If you miss you appointment or do not give us at least 2 hours notice that you can't make it then you may be charged a failure to attend fee. Due to the particularly high demand for weekend and public holiday appointments failure to attend or cancel these appointments with more than 2 hours' notice will incur the fee.
Out of Office visits.
If you are physically unable to attend an appointment at Central City Medical Centre and a telephone or video consultation will not suffice, we can arrange a home visit to our patients who live within 5km of the Practice. There is a fee of $450.00 and you can claim a Medicare rebate of $112.90.
Alternatively, Dial-A-Doctor can arrange an after-hours home visit – please call them on 1300 030 030 between 6pm – 7am.
