Family & Next of Kin Appointments
We encourage family and next of kin to attend doctor appointments with patient consent. However we realise that this may not be possible so Geriatric Care Australia (GCA) can arrange patient family and next of kin appointments with the consulting doctor. Patient consent must be obtained prior to any appointment.
General Practitioner Family Appointments
Please request a family appointment via the Residential Aged Care Home, a Care Coordinator or Registered Nurse will reach out to coordinate a time with you. These appointments typically are bulk-billed and come at no-charge.
​
Geriatrician Family Appointments
Unfortunately this service is not reimbursable via Medicare (no bulk-billing available), as such GCA charges an upfront fee for these appointments. ​For a geriatrician family appointment please complete the below payment form and our Care Coordination Team will reach out within 3 business days to schedule a time for the consulting geriatrician to call.
