OUR POLICIES
Practice Policies
Our practice policies are designed to support safe, respectful and high-quality healthcare for all patients.
Please review the information below before contacting the practice.
Appointment Policy
We aim to provide appointments on time and ask patients to arrive a few minutes before their scheduled appointment.
Longer appointments are recommended for multiple concerns, mental health consultations, care plans, procedures and new patient appointments.
Fees & Billing Policy
Clocktower Medical Practice is a mixed billing practice.
Fees vary depending on the complexity and duration of the consultation. Medicare rebates are processed electronically where available.
Pensioners and concession card holders may be bulk billed at the discretion of the treating doctor.
Results Policy
Patients are encouraged to book an appointment to discuss investigation results.
For privacy and safety reasons, clinical results are generally not provided by reception staff via telephone or email.
Urgent or clinically significant results will be communicated by the practice.
Prescription Policy
Patients requiring prescriptions should generally book an appointment with their doctor.
Requests for prescriptions without an appointment may incur a fee and are subject to doctor approval.
Referral Policy
Referrals require a consultation with your doctor to ensure referrals remain clinically appropriate and up to date.
Patients should ensure referrals remain valid prior to attending specialist appointments.
Telehealth Policy
Telehealth appointments may be available for eligible patients.
Suitability for telehealth consultations is determined by the treating doctor and may not be appropriate for all medical conditions.

We are committed to protecting your personal information and maintaining strict confidentiality.
Our Privacy Policy complies with Australian privacy legislation and is available on our website and upon request from reception.
