Frequently Asked Questions
What does a GP do?
A General Practitioner is trained to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide variety of health conditions. They can also refer you to specialists when additional expertise is needed and play a key role in preventive health.
When should I see a GP?
You should see a GP for any new or ongoing health concern, whether it’s a minor illness, routine check-up, vaccination, mental health concern, or chronic condition that requires long-term care.
Do I need a referral to see a GP?
No, you don’t need a referral to book an appointment with a GP. However, if your GP believes you need specialist care, they can provide a referral so you can access the right specialist services.
Can I see the same GP each time?
Yes. We encourage continuity of care and will always do our best to book you with your preferred GP. If your doctor isn’t available, another member of our team can see you and ensure your care continues smoothly.
Do GPs bulk bill?
Tewantin Medical Centre is a private billing clinic. Some Medicare rebates may apply depending on the type of consultation, but out-of-pocket fees are standard for most services.
