A day to celebrate the vital role receptionists play in keeping businesses running, creating great first impressions, managing the flow of people through workplaces and so much more.... We reckon weve got the best receptionists at General Practice Plus! Including the wonderful Dorriene Bell (shown here at the Kingston Clinic). To all of our receptionists. Thank you for everything you do, including your dedication to helping patients, doctors, nurses and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

23.01.2022 With a number of people returning to their workplaces, or having their lives significantly change in the past few months, it's important to ensure you're taking care of both your mental health and physical health. General Practice Plus are still offering fully bulk billed tele-health appointments, as well as our normal in-clinic appointments, so if you have any concerns about your health, please book online or call us today. https://www.headsup.org.au//work-and-your-mental-health-du

23.01.2022 From Monday the 20th of July, the Government will be refining the eligibility of patients able to access bulk billed telehealth services. What this means is, if you're a new patient or if you haven't had an appointment at one of our clinics in the past 12 months, that we're unable to offer a fully bulk billed tele-health service to you, until you've had a standard appointment at one of our clinics. New patients are still welcome to book with us, we hope to see you soon.
