30 Minute Appointments Required For All Mental Health Care Plans

Instead, a 30-minute appointment is required, so please select ”Mental Health Care Plan’‘ when booking online or call our friendly reception staff to make your appointment on (03) 9533 2800.

Please Note: We Are Not Conducting COVID-19 Vaccinations At One Point Medical

If you are experiencing ANY of the following symptoms: cough, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, fever, shortness of breath please book a TeleHealth appointment and if possible, complete a Covid-19 test.

If your doctor is unavailable for TeleHealth please contact reception for alternative arrangements and notify us of your symptoms.

We currently ask that all patients attending the clinic wait in their car and call 9533 2800 to notify of arrival. We do this to protect both patients and staff and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

One Point Medical is NOT a Covid-19 vaccine provider but the nearest Covid-19 Vaccination Clinic can be searched here.

Now included in the government immunisation program, the Shingrix vaccination offers a layer of protection against shingles, as currently there is no cure.

Shingrix recommended as a two-dose (2 – 6 months apart) primary course for the following eligible groups:

  • Adults aged 65 and over
  • Immunocompromised adults 18 years and over
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults aged 50 years and over

Patients who have previously received Zostavax free under NIP cannot receive free Shingrix until at least 5 years after the Zostavax dose.

Patients who have previously received Zostavax privately are eligible to receive Shingrix free under NIP. An interval of at least 12 months is recommended between paid Zostavax and free Shingrix.

Unfortunately, the initial supply of Shingrix is very limited. More vaccines will be available in the coming months.

Immunocompromised patients would be prioritized for Shingrix injections.

Please call One Point Medical to speak with the practice nurse if you have any queries or view the website for more information regarding the shingles vaccine.

One Point Medical has once again achieved AGPAL accreditation.

General practice accreditation is a voluntary process, and as such, not all practices undergo this regular independent on-site assessment.
