Common Questions

Questions about General Medicine

What does a general practitioner treat?+

A general practitioner treats a wide range of everyday health concerns. This includes infections, injuries, chronic conditions, and mental health support. Your GP can also arrange tests and refer you to specialists.

Do I need a referral to see a GP?+

No, you do not need a referral to see a general practitioner. You can book directly with the clinic. A referral is only needed when you see a specialist.

How long is a standard GP appointment?+

A standard GP appointment usually runs for about 15 minutes. If you have several concerns, please book a longer appointment. This gives your doctor time to address each issue properly.

Can I see the same doctor each visit?+

You can request your preferred doctor when booking. Continuity of care helps your doctor understand your health history. As a training practice, some of our doctors are registrars who rotate, so availability can change.

Are general medicine consultations bulk billed at Huntlee?+

Standard and long GP consultations are bulk billed with a valid Medicare card. Procedures and some services may attract a gap fee. Reception can confirm costs before your visit.
