Please self isolate as recommended. This is important to stopping the spread.

Additional resources for Covid-19 self-management are located on the Health Direct Website. This includes a Covid-19 symptom checker https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/managing-covid-19-at-home-faqs

Urgent appointments

A limited number of urgent appointments may be available through either our Flynns Beach or Lachlan Medical Centres. All patients requiring urgent appointments will be triaged by our nurses given the high demand. Please note where appointments are available, they may not be with your usual GP.

When to seek help:

Please do not call for an appointment if you have trouble breathing, feel faint, have chest pain or have a prolonged temperature (usually over 48 hours). These symptoms may require urgent medical intervention. Please call 000 in an emergency. Where an ambulance is called, please put on a mask prior to the ambulance arrival

Flynns Beach and Lachlan Medical Centres are pleased to be able to support the Covid 19 Vaccination Roll Out in our community.

To find out if we have vaccination appointments available please check via our online booking system. Vaccination appointments are opened regularly AS VACCINE STOCK BECOMES AVAILABLE. No appointments mean we have no stock on hand. We encourage people to check appointment availability regularly.

Book Online

PLEASE DO NOT CALL REGARDING VACCINE AVAILABILITY. The volume of enquiries about vaccine appointment availability is making it difficult for our regular patients to make contact with the practice, to check results, make appointments etc, and is placing enormous strain on our staff.

Booking online is quick, easy and convenient If there are no appointments available, please check again in a few days. Your assistance in this regard is appreciated at this extremely busy time.

Other Information

Our practice offers bulk-billed telehealth appointments for those patients under the age of 16, and for those patients who have a pension or health care card.

Private consultations, both in the practice and via telehealth may incur a fee. These payments will be discussed with you at the time of booking the appointment.

Video consultations are a safe and convenient way to consult with your GP, and they will be able to do many things that you require via video Telehealth. Phone consultations remain available but as they are more limited in their scope, are only used in limited circumstances or where patients do not have a smart phone.
