Nurse Health Services
Wound Care
Our nurses are trained in the most up to date wound care methods. We stock a wide range of products suitable to treat all types of wounds. We ensure all instruments are sterile and dispose of waste thoughtfully. We expect this new charge will also reduce the waiting time for you as we will only organise GP review if your wound requires antibiotics.
Fees will vary depending upon complexity of your treatment required:
- Facility fee Level A : Basic $20
- Facility fee Level B : Intermediate $38
- Facility fee Level C : Complex $56
- Wound products will incur an additional cost of up to $25.
24 Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring
Your doctor may advise this to help decide if starting BP medication is required or to check that your current medication is working effectively. The machine is fitted by our nurse and removed the following day and incurs a non-rebatable fee of $40 or concession card holders $30.
Ear Syringing
Your doctor will advise you if you need to have your ears syringed and refer you to our nurse to have it done. Please use wax softening drops (for example: waxol, earclear or cerumol) for 3 nights prior to your appointment with our nurse. This consultation incurs an out-of-pocket fee of $25 or concession card holders $15.
Childhood immunisations
We stock all childhood vaccinations that are free to Medicare card holders. Our practice nurses are accredited providers and continually update their knowledge on the changing paediatric vaccine schedule.
Adolescents receive their vaccinations via their schools but catch up vaccinations can be done with our practice nurse.
These consultations will continue to be bulk billed.
BP checks
If your doctor recommends you have your BP checked with our practice nurse, this can be bulk billed.
If you choose not to wait for GP, then a facility fee of $5 will apply.
