Appointments

We welcome new patients to the practice. We generally deal with all sorts of medical issues. However, if you have a particular need, please call us and we're happy to discuss which practitioner or service might best be able to help you.

You can make an appointment for Atticus Health Bittern online or by calling the clinic on 03 5983 6888. Here are a few tips to consider when making an appointment, so that you can get the greatest benefit from the experience:

  • When you arrive for your first appointment, you may need to fill in a form so remember to arrive a few minutes before your scheduled appointment time. Alternatively, that “new patient registration form” is available below, so please feel free to complete it beforehand and bring it along.
  • New patients require double appointments.  This is generally true.  If you’re a new patient, chances are that it will be helpful to really take a full history – which takes a bit more time.  However, once we get to really know you, we can then work together to working out the best solution.
  • Do you need a double appointment?  Even if you are an existing patient, you may have quite a complex medical history or present issue, or a few issues to deal with.  If this is true, you should consider booking a double appointment.
  • Skin checks.  Should be made as a double appointment.
  • Cancellation fee.  Note that if you fail to turn up to an appointment you have made, with no prior notice, we are entitled to charge you a $37 cancellation fee.

Fees

Dear Patients,
Please note that effective 16 Sept 2019, Atticus Regional Medicentre Hastings and Atticus Health Bittern will be introducing a mixed billing policy.
At the heart of this decision is the fact that we want to attract and maintain the very best General Practitioners and continue to provide you with our best service. We believe that becoming a mixed billing clinic is more likely to deliver this important outcome in the long term and thereby ensure the sustainability of our services.
At Atticus Health we genuinely care and are committed to delivering personalised and professional health care.
To keep things fair and simple, our fee structure has been set so that the out of pocket expense to you, as the patient, is the same regardless of which GP you choose to see at either Hastings or Bittern.

Some procedures such as skin biopsies and excisions may have a private fee. Any such fees will be discussed with you prior to the undertaking of the procedure, so that you are made fully aware.

We ask that you advise well in advance if you are unable to attend your appointment. For patients who fail to attend an appointment or do not advise of their cancellation within 12 hours of their scheduled appointment time, a cancellation fee of $37.00 for GP services and $50 for allied health services may be charged.
