We're excited to announce that the doctors at our practice now use BetterConsult to help you get the most out of your appointment.
BetterConsult is a "smart" pre-consultation questionnaire that asks the questions your doctor usually asks about the reason for your visit. It then prepares a summary for your doctor.
We advise that from 8 March 2021, we will no longer routinely bulk bill children and pensioners, as we move to being a fully private billing clinic.
We will introduce a discounted fee, with the out-of-pocket cost for a standard consult being $22 (up-front cost of $60.75 with Medicare rebate of $38.75).
Children and aged pensioners will continue to be bulk billed for scheduled immunisations and simple follow-up appointments.
Discounted fees will not be available on weekends and public holidays.
In addition, our standard fees will increase slightly for the first time since we opened the clinic more than 3 years ago. The out-of-pocket cost for a standard consult will be $44 (up-front cost of $82.75 with Medicare rebate of $38.75).
North Brighton Medical is now able to send patients electronic presciptions (also known as eScripts) under a new initiative of the Australian government in conjunction with the states and territories.
If you need a presciption, then during your consultation (especially if you have a phone consult), your GP will be able to SMS or email you a link to a QR or barcode token.
Then, you simply take your smartphone to a local pharmacy (provided that they have eScripts enabled, which most do), and they will scan the token and then fill your prescription.
Easy!

We advise that we now have flu vaccines in stock for all patients aged over 6 months, including both government and private stock.
We ask that you book your appointment online if possible so that you can see the available times and book suitable slots for you and your family. A separate flu vaccine appointment needs to be booked for each family member who needs a vaccine.
