Test Results, Recalls &Reminders

Test ResultsDepositphotos_45110613_xs

It is important that you obtain results of any tests requested and completed by OUR doctors. It is good practice to arrange a follow up appointment to confirm your results. If your results require follow up by your doctor, you will be recalled by reception staff to make another appointment.

* These follow-up appointments for results only will be bulk-billed if you have a current Medicare card. If not, then a normal fee will apply. 

Our Procedure for Results are as follows:

  1. If it is urgent, life threatening the doctor themselves will ring you directly.
  2. If the doctor wants to see you for a non urgent review, an SMS will be sent to your Phone Number on file requesting you to make an appointment.
  3. If the results are ok and the doctor is not concerned, an SMS will be sent to your Phone Number on file to indicate as such.
  • Reception staff are NOT permitted to give you, your results over the phone or in person at the front desk. Please do not ask them to do so as you will be refused.
  • Please do not insist that the Doctor will call you as this is not the policy of the practice.# Copies of your results can be obtained at the time of your appt.
  • # If you request these results outside of your appointment, a small fee will be charged  to you for the doctors time.

Please know: If the investigations were requested by your specialist, it is the specialists responsibility to inform you of your results. Please contact them for follow-up.
