My Health Record

A personally controlled eHealth record is a secure online summary of your health information. You control what goes into it, and who is allowed to access it.

Your eHealth record allows you and your doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to view and share your health information to provide you with the best possible care.

An eHealth record gives you more control over your health information than ever before, placing you at the centre of Australia’s health system. Crestmead Medical Surgery will be participating in eHealth.

Telehealth

If you are a regular patient, telehealth services may be available. Telehealth services are at the discretion of your GP. Please contact the practice for more information.

Longer Telephone Consults must be MyMedicare registered

The doctors at Jamison Medical and Skin Cancer Clinic need patients to register for MyMedicare for access to longer telephone consultations. MyMedicare is a government initiative to encourage continuity of care by nominating your clinic and doctor for your ongoing care. Medicare has added new billing items to allow for the provision of longer telephone consultations for MyMedicare registered patients only, and later this year other services will be limited to MyMedicare patients only. You can register via Medicare online, MyGov or the Medicare App. Forms are available at reception for manual registration if you have trouble registering online

Appointments

Walk-ins

This centre operates on an appointment basis. Walk-ins are accepted, however, there may be an unavoidable wait as priority is given to patients who have a booked appointment with their GP.

Appointments

Our medical centre operates on an appointment basis. Our appointment system caters for urgent, non-urgent, complex, planned chronic care and preventative healthcare.

If you need more time with your GP, please arrange an extended consultation when booking your appointment. Please advise reception staff if you have more than one issue to discuss so the appropriate consultation time can be booked.

Urgent appointments will be seen by the next available GP. Please advise reception if you believe you require an urgent appointment. Urgent appointments will be triaged by the nurse on duty.

Late Arrivals

It is important that you arrive on time for your appointment, which will give the doctor the best chance of running on time. Patients who arrive late for their appointment may be asked to reschedule on another day. Please be aware that a no-show fee of $100 will apply for non-attendance (see below).

Non-Attendance

If you cannot keep your appointment, we require that you notify the clinic as soon as possible. Your cancellation allows us to reallocate the appointment to another patient. A $100 no-show fee will be charged if notice is not received 4 hours in advance, and future consults privately billed, with pre-payment required.

Home Visits

We can provide home visits for regular patients, or where the doctor deems it to be necessary. Please discuss with your treating GP.

Telephone Calls/Email Communication

GPs in the practice may be contacted during normal surgery hours. If the GP is with a patient, a message will be taken, and the reception staff will advise you when it is likely that the GP will return your call. Your call will always be put through to a clinical staff member in an emergency.

It is important to note that when we contact you via SMS or letter, we are doing so via our practice software systems.

Results

Your doctor will generally advise the follow-up plan at the time of ordering the tests. Results of these tests will not be given over the phone unless otherwise specified. Staff will notify patients of any results that require follow-up and schedule an appointment for these to be discussed with the doctor. You are encouraged to follow up and discuss any test you have had, to ensure that you understand the result and any further action required. You are also welcome to ask for copies of your results.
