Nurse Phone Consultation Charges
Due to significant demand for clinical advice from our nurses and an increase in both the number of calls and the complexity of enquiries, we are no longer able to provide all nurse phone consultations for free.
For this reason, as of 13th November 2023, a fee may apply for your nurse calls based on the length of the calls.
| Call Time (mins) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Over 15 minutes | $44.50 | |
| 10 – 15 minutes | $25.00 | |
| 5 – 10 minutes | $15.00 | |
| Under 5 minutes | FREE | |
| Questions to and answers from your GP through the nurse team | Multiple under 5-minute calls | Fees may apply |
We hope you understand why we have had to make these changes. We still encourage you to call our nurse line for brief clinical advice or book an appointment with your GP.
Below are answers to some of your questions:
If one of our nurses phones you or we have requested that you speak to one of our nurses, generally a fee will not apply, as these calls should not take more than 5 minutes.
For example, to triage you because you have an urgent concern, or you have respiratory symptoms, or a doctor has declined your prescription, and the nurse needs to discuss the next steps e.g.) get blood tests done.
However, if you then request further clinical advice from the nurse and the call is extended, a fee may apply.
These calls should generally not take more than 5 minutes. Our nurse team will endeavour to triage you and advise you on whether you need a GP appointment as quickly as possible.
