We are now using Total Triage to book our appointments, our form is now open from 7am to 4pm.

Benefits of using our online Total Triage Form:

  • Skip the queues!

  • Put as much information down as possible to ensure correct triaging
  • Easy to use

You will receieve a response from our Triage Nurse within a maximum of 72 hours, however the usual turn around time is much less than this.

Please note if you request a specific clinician there may be a longer wait, our receptionists will let you know of this and offer another clinician if you are unable to wait.
