To ensure appointment availability for those in need and smooth scheduling, we have a cancellation policy requiring all GP appointments to be cancelled at least 3 hours in advance. Cancellations within 3 hours will incur a fee: $50 for brief/standard and $70 for long appointments on weekdays, and $80 for brief/standard and $110 for long appointments on weekends. No-shows will be charged the full appointment fee. Cancellations within 48 hours of a psychology/massage therapy/acupuncture appointment, or cancellations on the same day of your physiotherapy/podiatry appointment, will also incur a fee. Outstanding balances must be settled before booking your next appointment. A reminder SMS will be sent to your registered mobile number 24 hours before your appointment, with the option to reply 'Y' to confirm, 'N' to cancel, or call our practice to reschedule.

Our GPs may be able to provide you with a repeat script or referral without a consultation. However, they will request to see you in person for a consultation for any new scripts, new referrals or if it has been more than 3 months since they have seen you. This is important to ensure they are providing you with the best possible medical care. Please allow your regular doctors at least 48 hours when they are next at work to process your script/referral request. If you have been seen at Montrose, you may now request your repeats online! 

Usually once you have done your tests, if a result requires a non-urgent follow up, within the next week or two, you may either receive an SMS advising you to make an appointment with the doctor to discuss your test results or you may receive a call from your doctor or nurse.  Please note that results cannot be given over the phone by reception due to privacy reason. All urgent results will be followed up directly with the patient by the doctor. 

There are a few different options for how you will receive your results. Your doctor may discuss this with you at the time of your appointment. Generally, you will receive a call from your doctor or nurse if there is need for follow-up. Please note that results cannot be given over the phone by reception.

Yes, we place great importance on preventative health at Montrose Medical Practice.
