How do I know when my clinician is working?

Our team have external commitments and often work part time. You can check their availability using the Manage My Health website or app. Secure messaging your GP/NP is also an option, however this is not instant communication, is sometimes charged (depending on complexity) and response times will depend on the clinician’s schedule. If you need a quick answer about a health question, you may need to consider booking a consultation. It is not possible to call a GP or NP on the phone without a consultation booked.

You must see one of our clinicians to arrange a referral. You will then be placed in direct contact with the specialist to arrange appointment times and consultations.
