Welcome to Southern Doctors Clinic!
Booking an appointment

You can also book an appointment by speaking to one of our friendly receptionists on (02) 9789 5955.
Please note that we are an appointment-based practice and do not accept walk-ins (unless in the case of an emergency).
Getting ready for your first consult
Before your first appointment, we ask that you complete our New Patient Registration Form so that we can register you as a patient of our practice. You are able to email the completed form to reception@sdccampsie.com.au or bring the form along with you to your first appointment.
You may receive an SMS to your mobile with a link to complete your digital new patient form.
Understanding your medical history is a crucial part of our doctors providing you with quality care. Our New Patient Form includes a general medical information section that we require all new patients to complete. Be sure to include as much information as you can so that your doctor is able to gain an understanding of your current health and needs.
Consultation fees
Your first appointment at our practice is 30 minutes long and is considered a ‘long appointment’. We book all of our new patients a 30-minute appointment to allow our doctors to get to know you.
This includes your relevant medical history, your family medical history, current medications, and ongoing healthcare needs.
Your first appointment will incur a fee of $115.00. Patients with a valid Medicare card will receive a rebate of $82.90.

Transferring your medical records
If you have a complex medical history, your new doctor may ask you to request a copy of your medical record from your previous GP. This is something that is usually done when patients change practices. Our team can help arrange this with your previous practice by completing a Transfer of Medical Records form.
It is common for practice’s to charge a fee for the transfer of your medical records. Your previous practice can advise you on whether there will be a transfer fee and of how much.
