The Wakefield Street General Clinic is for immediate health needs, and unplanned illness assessment and management.

Our Brady Street clinic works slightly differently as we do not have a Chronic Conditions Management Team with dedicated care coordination roles.

We can also help to fill any required Government forms, can give you the results of tests and address other needs that have not been planned for.

We’re committed to meeting your diverse healthcare needs. In addition to specialist referrals, we offer onsite visiting services such as psychiatry, paediatrics, physiotherapy, diabetes education, and psychology.

Nunkuwarrin Yunti also provide Maternal Child and Family Health services.

Consultations are free

It is free for you to see a care provider at both of our clinics. All consultations are covered by Medicare.

Our primary health care team includes Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal care providers

• Aboriginal Health Workers & Practitioners
• General Practitioners & GP Registrars
• Nurses
• Allied health professionals
• Visiting medical specialists

If you are referred to a care provider outside Nunkuwarrin Yunti, we will try to make sure their fees are covered by Medicare.

After hours care

Health Direct has an after-hours GP helpline that will let you speak with a GP for medical assessment and advice.

If you need medical advice outside our consulting hours, you can call Health Direct Australia on 1800 022 222.

Care required outside our consulting hours is delivered through National Home Doctor Service. You can call them on 13SICK (13 74 25).

The service is free to you – all clients are bulk billed, which means the cost is covered by Medicare.

You will need to provide:

• Your Medicare card number
• The name of your care provider at Nunkuwarrin Yunti

National Home Doctor Service will write to your care provider with information about the service they gave you.

This is so your care provider can contact you for follow up if necessary, and so that we can ensure your personal health record is kept up to date.
