As an accredited Medical Deputising Service, we are tasked with providing continuity of care to patients in the absence of their normal GP. This is especially important for residents of Aged Care Facilities, due to their often complex health issues and the need to communicate clearly across the clinical team that attend each resident.

If one of your residents requires an after-hours doctor, please book as early as possible in the day. While our doctor’s rounds continue to start at the beginning of the after-hours period, your staff are now able to place a fax or phone booking at any time throughout the day.

wash your hands frequently with soap and water, before and after eating, and after going to the toilet cover your cough and sneeze, dispose of tissues, and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser and if unwell, avoid contact with others (stay more than 1.5 metres from people).
