Health insights
News & updates
Why a longer appointment is often the shorter route
If you have more than one thing to raise, booking double time usually saves you a second trip.
Your winter immunisation checklist
Who should have a flu vaccine, when to have it, and what else is worth doing at the same appointment.
Travelling soon? Start six weeks out
Some travel vaccines need a course rather than a single dose, so the earlier we plan, the simpler it is.
Questions
Frequently asked
Still not sure? Call reception on 07 3205 6094 and we will talk it through.
What services do the GPs at Lawnton offer?
Our GPs cover everyday general practice: health check-ups and screening, women’s and men’s health, children’s health, immunisation and travel medicine, skin checks, and the ongoing management of long-term conditions. If you need care we do not provide on site, we will refer you and stay involved.
Do you offer chronic disease management?
Yes. For conditions such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease and high blood pressure we work to a written GP management plan, with longer appointments and reviews booked in advance so nothing is missed. Where it helps, we coordinate with allied health under a team care arrangement.
Do you offer family healthcare?
Yes — we look after every age, from newborn checks and childhood immunisations through to older adults’ health assessments. Families are welcome to see the same GP, so one person holds the whole picture.
Do you offer bulk billing?
We are a mixed-billing practice. Some consultations are bulk billed and others are billed privately, with the Medicare rebate claimed for you on the day. Reception will always tell you what an appointment costs before you are seen.
How do I make an appointment?
Call reception on 07 3205 6094 during practice hours, or book online at any time. Let us know if you would like a longer appointment — for a care plan, a skin check, or several issues at once — and we will set the time aside.
Are same-day appointments available?
We hold a number of appointments each morning for urgent same-day care. Call as early in the day as you can and reception will find you the first available slot. In an emergency, always call 000.
