Wellness Medicine is committed to provide comprehensive care to all our patients.

Due to rising costs and demands for appointments we have decided to review our cancellation policy.

  1. We require 24 hours’ notice prior to your scheduled appointment if you need to change or cancel your appointment. This will ensure other patients can access that scheduled time.
  2. If 24 hours’ notice is not given a fee of up to $100 will be charged to your account for the appointment missed.
  3. You will be unable to re book with your GP until your cancellation fee is paid.
  4. We will help you to remember your appointment time by sending you an SMS 24-48 hours before you scheduled appointment.

Upon getting tests done, results are categorised into 3 different recalls:

  1. Return Urgently: You will be contacted on the day your result come and you will be offered an appointment within 24-48 hours
  2. Discuss: You will receive a sms on the day the result comes in.
    If we do not here from you, we will sms you again within 2 weeks.
    If we still have not heard from you following the 2nd recall, you will receive a follow up phone call from our Practice Nurse
  3. No Action: No contact will be made. Please feel free to book an appointment with your doctor should you wish to discuss these results.

Please note: in some circumstances, your Doctor may allow for you to retrieve your results over the phone from our Practice Nurse.

Your doctor will need to indicate this in your file.
