Appointments
Paddington Family Practice is a private billing practice. Consultation fees are payable at the time of consultation​. We accept cash, EFTPOS or credit card.
​
To ensure adequate time for comprehensive care we operate by appointment only. Please note that medical emergencies and sick children are always given priority. Our doctors spend as much time as necessary with every patient so sometimes there are delays. You can help us by making a longer appointment for complex or multiple problems.
​​
Standard appointments are up to 15 minutes long
Long Appointments are between 15 to 30 minutes long
Extended Appointments are those longer than 30 minutes
​​
Please book the appropriate length consult​
