After Hours Service

Pearsall Medical Centre is pleased to announce that we have appointed   WADMS  as our deputised after hours medical service. This means that  WADMS will be available with immediate effect to visit our patients in their homes. WADMS offers an in-hours and after-hours service. If you are in need of medical assistance during surgery hours, all requests for a doctor to visit you at home must be arranged by your Medical Practice on your behalf (if your GP is a member of our Deputising Service). Our  after-hours  care is designed to offer you a solution for any unexpected illness or injury when your regular GP is not available or the Medical Practice is closed. For routine consultations, we encourage patients to see their own GP during surgery hours.

These are:
After-hours:
Mon-Fri: 6PM to 8AM
Saturday – Monday: 12 noon – Monday 8AM

Contact:
08 9321 9133

WADMS is a mixed billing service. Pensioners, Veterans Affairs (gold cards), Children (up to 16 years) & Health Care Card holders can be bulk-billed. Speak to a member of our call centre team to confirm the fee you will be charged. WADMS is not equipped to deal with medical emergencies and in an emergency you should always call 000 or if able, make your way to the nearest Accident and Emergency Department.

Once you have used the   WADMS  Service it will send us a record of the visit, including details of any medicines prescribed to ensure that you receive continuity of care from your usual GP.
You can find out more about  WADMS  at  http://wadms.org.au/

Medicare Rebate can be claimed on site

Unfortunately, due to the rising costs of staff wages, insurances, medical supplies and utilities, grouped with the fact that for many years, Medicare rebates have failed to keep up with the inflation and do not reflect the cost of delivering high-quality general practice services. The cost of running a practice has continued to rise annually. It is financially no longer possible to continue to provide high quality medical service whilst bulk billing all of our patients.
