Information about your appointment with the Health Service

Payment and bulk-billing

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.

Non rebatable medicals

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.

Reminders

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.

Test results

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.

Limitations

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.

Privacy

Refer to our privacy page for how we handle your confidential information.

Our Doctors

We have four Doctors on staff:

  • Dr Timothy Moss
  • Dr Jessica Vandekamp
  • Dr Malene Smith
  • Dr Lesley Blimkie
Communication with Doctors

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.

If you wish to receive information via email, you will need to put in a request in writing to the Director Student Services who will consider your request.

Keep in mind that email communication is not encrypted so there is the risk that the email could be read by someone other than you.
