Website Content Is General Information

Information on this website is general in nature. It is not medical advice and does not account for your individual circumstances. Nothing on this website creates a doctor–patient relationship. See our Disclaimer.

03

Appointments and Bookings

Online bookings are made through HotDoc, a third-party provider. When you use that service, you are also subject to HotDoc’s own terms and privacy policy, which we do not control.

A booking is not confirmed until you receive confirmation. We may need to reschedule due to clinical urgency or practitioner availability, and will contact you as early as reasonably possible. Some appointment types may require you to telephone the practice.

04

Cancellations and Non-Attendance

Please give as much notice as possible if you cannot attend, so the appointment can be offered to another patient.

05

Fees and Billing

The Southern Clinic is a mixed billing practice. Fees vary according to the length and complexity of the consultation, the practitioner and the service provided. Payment is required at the time of consultation unless otherwise arranged. Current fees are available at reception.

06

Prescriptions, Referrals and Results

Repeat prescriptions and referrals generally require a consultation. We do not issue them by email. Results are not provided by email or telephone unless a practitioner has specifically arranged otherwise.

07

Electronic Communication

Email and online forms are not secure and are not suitable for urgent matters or clinical information. For an urgent medical concern, telephone the practice. In an emergency, call 000. We do not monitor email or website enquiries outside business hours.
