Procedures have also been put in place to obtain scripts etc. The Doctor phoning you will be calling from a Private Number. Please do your best to answer this, as they will only attempt to you call twice. If you miss a phone call during work hours, contact the practice and they will organise another return phone call.

17.01.2022 We are all currently in the same boat - going through the COVID-19 pandemic together. However, we are all in some way experiencing it differently... For some, times are hard due to job loss, personal living circumstances, lack of usual support or just the loss of simple moments of being able to enjoy friends and family.... If you feel you are not coping in your current situation, we just wanted to remind you that Doctors @ Ormeau Town Centre are here to help. Mental Health in the community is now larger than before. - It is not something that should ignored. Due to the government introducing Telehealth (Phone Consultations), you do not even have to enter the practice to seek help. Our GPs can complete a standard consultation regarding your Mental Health via phone. If they feel you require further help also can complete Mental Health Care Plans also over the phone. You do also have the option to attend the practice in person for Face to Face consultations. Our in-house psychologist is also now conducting Mental Health consultations via phone where you can stay in the comfort of you home. You can contact the practice on 07 55408200 to book a face to face or phone consultation or book online/via our app for a phone consultation with your GP. Below is a Government website full of information you can browse and find possible further information to help you maintain good Mental Health https://headtohealth.gov.au/COVID-19//Psychological%20tips

16.01.2022 Did you know that Schizophrenia Awareness Week runs from May 17-24? Schizophrenia ranks among the leading 20 causes of years lost to disability worldwide. The lifetime risk of developing psychosis and schizophrenia is approximately 1%, and life expectancy in people with schizophrenia is reduced by approximately 20%. Antipsychotic medications are a cornerstone of acute and maintenance therapy for schizophrenia. Although medications reduce positive symptoms of psychosis, they do not treat the underlying causes of schizophrenia and should be used alongside psychosocial interventions.
