DUBBO AFTER-HOURS GP CLINIC.
Located at: Dubbo Base Hospital Day Surgery Unit, Myall Street Dubbo, NSW, 2830

The doctor who consults with you at the afterhours GP clinic will send any relevant information relating to your visit to your usual GP for continuation of care.

HEALTH DIRECT – Health Direct is a free national medical service 24/7 – you can speak to someone who can assess your needs, work out how urgent and serious the situation is and will recommend what to do next – Please call 1800 022 222

The After-Hours services are not intended to replace the routine care provided by your Usual GP or substitute medical care in an emergency. In emergencies, please dial triple zero (000).

We understand that sometimes it is not possible for you to attend your appointment. We ask that you please cancel a booked appointment as soon as you know you are not able to attend so that we can accommodate someone else who needs medical care. 

Appointments not cancelled prior and failed to attend may incur a fee of $55-$110 which is not claimable from Medicare.

That is why we will always try and book you in with your preferred doctor at every appointment. However the same doctor may not always be available on the day of your visit. You can choose to wait for an appointment with your preferred doctor, or if it is an acute issue we can offer an appointment with another doctor at the practice. If you see another doctor at our practice they will be able to access your medical history and treatment notes. 

We do have acute / on the day appointments that open up at 8:00 each day. These can only be booked over the phone- please call and speak to our team on 02 68840474.

These are important medical and legal documents and require a doctors time and consideration. To make sure your health is properly managed an appointment is required. 

Please call and make an appointment when you fill your last repeat – In certain circumstances a doctor may be able to provide a prescription repeat without an appointment – fees apply.

The doctor will determine if an urgent or non- urgent follow-up appointment is required, we will phone you to make an appointment. 

If no follow up is required the doctor will make a note and reception can pass the results when you call.

Reception staff are unable to give out results over the phone without permission from the doctor. Should you wish to discuss your test results further, you will be required to make an appointment with your doctor. 

Dubbo Family Doctors is a private billing practice, which reflects and enables our commitment to providing quality health care.

Fees are determined by the doctor according to the time and nature of your consult. Fees are payable at the time of appointment.

We will accept cash, EFTPOS or credit card. When booking online, credit card details will be captured by a secure payment system and payment will be charged after your consultation.
