​This system of consultation with the Duty Doctor is designed to cater for patients who need to be seen on that day, but for whom no regular appointments are available.

The Duty Doctor will deal with the immediate problem - if follow up is required or more complex issues are also involved another scheduled appointment can then be booked. ​Normal fees apply. 

DUTY DOCTOR - OPEN HOURS

The Duty Doctor Clinic operates from Tea Tree Medical Centre:
Weekdays: 4:00pm to 6:00pm
​Saturdays 8.00am to 1.00pm
Sundays & Public Holidays: 9:00am to 1:00pm

"WALK-INS"

Those "walking in" will be allocated the next available time with the Duty Doctor - they may choose to return at that time or wait in the surgery.

HOW TO GET SEEN

We have changed how we cater for Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday Clinics and the previous 'walk in' clinics on weekday afternoons.

Patients are now required to call Tea Tree Medical Centre for an appointment with the Duty Doctor. At this time, the caller will be allocated a specific time when they will be seen.
