Please make a double appointment for complex problems such as Mental Health Care Plans and Insurance or Employment Medicals.  Some doctors require longer appointments for new patients or childhood vaccinations.  If unsure, please ask Reception on booking.  Each family member who needs to be seen also needs their own appointment.  If you have been to our sister clinic, Belmont General Practice Clinic – you are not considered a new patient to Morningside.  We have an integrated computer system for ease of convenience to our patients.

Morningside General Practice Clinic is open on Saturday and Sunday mornings for appointments.  As our nurse is available on Saturdays only, immunisations and dressings are not able to be given on a Sunday.  Please organise a day between Monday and Saturday for these appointment types.  Our consultation fees are higher for weekend appointments and as we are a private-billing clinic, no bulk billing is available.

When booking your appointment online if you have not seen a GP for yourself at either Morningside or Belmont clinics, please select the New Patient appointment type in HotDoc so the Doctor has sufficient time to meet you and understand your healthcare needs.  We will require a online secure deposit of $75.00 at the time of booking, to secure your appointment.  This amount will be forfeited should you not attend your appointment.

Emergencies will always be given priority and Reception will attempt to contact you or update you on the progress of your scheduled appointment however this may not always be possible.

Reception will attempt to contact you if there is any unforeseen delay, or the doctor has been called away.  Every effort is made to keep as close to scheduled appointment times as possible.  Variation occurs when it becomes necessary to fit in urgent cases between normal appointments.  Morningside General Practice Clinic apologises for delays, however suggest you phone ahead of your appointment time to ask how the doctor is running.

Interpreter services are available if required.  Please let Reception know when you make an appointment and this can be organised for you.

To assist with disease prevention and to deliver culturally appropriate care, please advise the doctor of your cultural background.

If you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, please inform Reception or the doctor during your consultation so your requests can be taken into consideration. You may also qualify for additional health checks.

Home visits are available for regular patients whose condition prevents them from attending the clinic. Please give as much advance notice as possible, to allow Reception to schedule these visits.
