Other Services
Immunisation.
This practice provides a full child and adult immunisation service. The recommendations change frequently so check with us. Information regarding schedules can be found at Australian Childhood Immunisation Register, however we may advise other vaccines as well.
Adults over 65 are especially recommended Flu vaccines and Pneumococcal vaccines.
Travellers health advice.
Come and see us before travelling overseas to get up to date individualised travel health advice. It is very helpful if you can bring a detailed travel itinerary with you. We can provide advice on all your vaccine needs, as well as general tips on staying healthy overseas. Some information is available at www.smartraveller.gov.au - Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Obstetrics.
All the doctors in the practice have obstetric experience and provide antenatal care including shared care. This arrangement is suggested for patients who are uninsured and would otherwise receive all their antenatal care from the public hospital clinic.
Minor Surgery.
Minor surgery such as excision of skin lesions and repair of lacerations are performed at the surgery under local anaesthetic. All reusable instruments are sterilised in an autoclave. Generally it is necessary for the doctor to assess a skin lesion at an initial consultation before booking the excision. Lacerations are of course attended to as soon as possible. Removal of sutures is included in the fee for the procedure and is therefore "no charge".
