Misconception Mondays
One of the things we noticed doing our recent survey is that there are a lot of misconceptions around regarding WMC and the services we provide. So, we thought we’d start a new series of regular Facebook posts called ‘Misconception Monday’. Hopefully these can be informative and help patients use our service to their advantage more often.
Misconception Monday #1 - I can’t get an appointment on the day when my child is unwell
No matter how busy we are, if your child is unwell and you feel they need to be seen that day, we will fit them in! If reception advise there are no appointments left, let us know you are worried and we arrange a nurse triage before one of our GPs sees them too.
There’s even a reasonable chance of a sticker, stamp, balloon or maybe even a hand-knitted toy.
We can now accept requests for repeat prescriptions and referrals online!

We're very pleased to announce that we now have the ability for patients to submit their requests for prescription repeats or renewed referrals online. This can be found in our 'online services' section which is on the right hand side of our menu under the 'Make an Appointment' button, or via this link - https://www.westsidemedical.com.au/online-services/online-services-1
Fee Increase Upcoming on September 1st, 2019
Due to ever increasing practice costs, we will be marginally increasing our fees in the new couple of weeks.
From the 1st September 2019 the fee for a standard consultation will increase by $2 to become:
$77 (no concession card)
$57 (with a health care card)
Our other consultation items (e.g. for long consultations) will also increase by a similar amount. All the specific figures can be found in our FAQs - https://www.westsidemedical.com.au/faq
Pensioners, DVA card holders and children under 16 years of age will continue to be bulk billed.
Find us on Facebook!
Make sure you go and check out our new Westside Medical Centre Facebook page!
We hope that this page will provide our patients to keep in touch with the practice in a convenient way. We'll use Facebook in addition to the website - to post updates about interesting or important health information, or practical things like our opening hours over holiday periods.
You can book your appointment online right from our Facebook page too - click on 'Book Online' just under the cover photo of our reception area, or via the app on the left. New patients are always welcome!
Our liked pages contain reputable sources of health information recommended by our doctors. We'll aim to add to these regularly, and share the really great ones on our timeline.
