If you require a home visit by a doctor, you can arrange this by calling National Home Doctor Service - 13 74 25 - There is no cost for students who have a current OSHC or Medicare Card.

For general health information visit Health Direct -  or call the healthdirect number 1800 022 222

All eligible consultations and services are bulk-billed. You need to bring your Medicare Card (Australian students) or Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) Card.

The doctors direct bill Medicare, Medibank Private, Bupa and Allianz Global Assistance. International students with a different private health insurer will need to pay up-front on the day of their appointment and have the money reimbursed by the insurance company.

There are occasions when students or staff require a medical examination in relation to their employment or other activity (eg taxi driving). These medicals do not attract a Medical Benefits Scheme payment. As a result, any patient seeking such a Medical from the University Health Service will need to book a double appointment and the doctor will issue a private patient invoice of $100. This invoice must be paid at Reception following the appointment.

We may issue you with a reminder notice from time to time as follow-up or preventative care. If you do not wish to be part of this system, please let your doctor or reception staff know.

When doctors order tests, they may organise to follow up results directly with you. If not, it is your responsibility to phone the Health Service personally for your results.

The doctors will not provide prescriptions for medication without an appointment and will not provide medical advice or information by email. The Health Service does not treat children.

The doctors at this Accredited General Practice are obliged to follow the Medicare Benefits Scheme rules and standards when ordering pathology testing or imaging/radiology. Requests for tests from allied health practitioners, alternative health care providers or other medical practitioners outside of this clinic will be assessed by your doctor as to whether the test is clinically necessary for your appropriate treatment. It is at the discretion of your doctor to determine whether the testing request fits with the rules and standards of the Medicare Benefits Scheme and your doctor will be happy to discuss this during your appointment.

We have four Doctors on staff:

• Dr Sue Lim
  
• Dr Lesley Blimkie
  
• Dr Joshua Wong

Patient telephone contact

If you wish to speak to a Doctor you need to book an appointment. If you are not sure whether you need an appointment call us on 8201 2118 and you will be advised as to what is required.

When clinically relevant information is discussed over the phone, the Doctor or Nurse must record the information on your patient file.
 

Telephone Confidentiality

Communication with patients via telephone is conducted with appropriate regard to the privacy and confidentiality of the patient and their health information.

If personal and health information needs to be discussed or collected over the phone, the call is transferred to a private room or area so that other patients and persons cannot hear the conversation.

If a person calls to ask if you have been seen at the Health Service, they will be advised that we abide by a strict privacy and confidentiality policy and therefore no such information will be disclosed. If the query is pursued, the caller will be advised that a message has been taken and a Doctor or the Director of Student Services will return their call as soon as convenient. 

Email correspondence

Email correspondence is not utilised as a way to communicate with patients or other health practitioners.
