Question 2

Do I have to be Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander  to access a GP?

Accepted Answer

Kambu Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation for Health, is a community-controlled health service, developed by local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families.

However, our GP consultations are available to anyone, regardless of where you live, and/or nationality.

Question 3

What are the wait times to see a GP?

Accepted Answer

Our GPs make every effort to see patients on time.

However, occasional delays may occur.

If you have been waiting more than an hour from your scheduled appointment time please speak with our lovely receptionist to provide you with an update on when you can expect to be seen next.

Question 4

Do I need to be a patient of the service to access the dentist, or other allied health, or specialist services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to access dental, allied health, or specialist services, you must be regular patient having  attended Kambu Health three (3) times or more in the last 12 months and have undergone your Annual 715 Health Check and/or GP Management Plan.

Question 5

Can I get a repeat prescription without an appointment with the Doctor?

Accepted Answer

No, all repeat prescriptions require a GP appointment.

Some prescriptions can be provided via a telehealth consultation.

Question 6

Can I have the Doctor fill out Centrelink or Workcover paperwork without making an appointment?

Accepted Answer

No, you must schedule an appointment advising our receptionist you require paperwork completed.

Paperwork consults are lengthy and may take a GP longer than a standard appointment time to complete correctly.

Failure to inform reception of the nature of your appointment may result in your GP asking you to return for another visit to complete later.

Question 7

Do I need to make an appointment to get a referral for a specialist?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to get a referral you'll need to speak to your GP about your health concerns.

Your GP will determine if you need specialist treatment and arrange any medicines or tests that you need.

Your GP will then send a written referral letter to a specialist doctor at one of our hospitals.

Question 8

How do I know if I am still on the waitlist to see allied health or a specialist?

Accepted Answer

At Kambu Health, we do not maintain waiting lists.

If your GP has referred you to an internal allied health or specialist service we recommend you see our receptionist before exiting to schedule the next available appointment.

We encourage all clients to book as soon as possible to avoid any delay.

However, if you do forget to do this, you are welcome to contact our clinic reception team to book in.
