Our doctors

Please note that doctors who consult at this clinic do so as independent medical practitioners. They are not employees of the clinic.

 

Each doctor operates their own independent medical practice and uses the clinic’s facilities to provide services to patients.

 

This means:

  • Doctors set their own schedules and clinical decisions.

  • Billing and fees are the responsibility of the individual doctor.

  • The clinic provides administrative and facility support only.

 

This structure complies with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and State Revenue Office (SRO) guidelines for independent contractor arrangements in general practice. If you have any questions about your care or fees, please speak directly with your treating doctor.
