Some prescriptions can be provided via a telehealth consultation.

Question 5

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 6

Can I request the  GP to fill out Centrelink or WorkCover paperwork without making an appointment?

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

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

Can I access transport services?

Accepted Answer

Kambu Health proudly offer transport services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, partners, children, and carers. To qualify, it must be established that you are unable to access private transport or reasonable public transport options.

Transport is generally limited to the client and one accompanying family member and/or carer. Please note if the eligible parent/carer has more than one child with an appointment, then every accommodation will be made to transport as a family unit.

Priority is given to elderly or frail individuals, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and families with children. While we provide client transport, please note that we may not be able to accommodate higher complex needs or additional support beyond the reasonable capacity of the driver.
