Ochre Medical Centre Caloundra 20 Kalinga Street, Caloundra, Queensland 4551

Welcome to Ochre Medical Centre Caloundra, a premier healthcare institution located at 20 Kalinga Street in Caloundra, Australia. As a leading doctor's establishment, health center, hospital, and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing exceptional medical care to our patients.

At Ochre Medical Centre Caloundra, we prioritize the well-being of our patients. Please note that if you require treatment room services, there may be an additional fee in addition to your consultation fee. This fee covers the excellent care provided by our skilled nurses, including dressings, wound care, and other necessary procedures. Rest assured, you will be informed of any fees in advance.

Our doctors at Ochre Medical Centre Caloundra are independent practitioners who now bill privately. This means that patients will be charged a fee that is higher than the Medicare rebate for their consultation. The Medicare rebate patients receive after paying their bill will only cover a portion of the total cost. This billing arrangement applies to both face-to-face and telehealth consultations. However, we offer discounted fees for pensioners, health care cardholders, and students with valid identification. Additionally, DVA (Gold Card only) cardholders are bulk-billed.

Taking care of your health is crucial, and we encourage you to prioritize screenings and consultations. For instance, a type 2 diabetes test only takes a minute. Talk to your doctor and get checked to avoid any future complications. Similarly, by discussing bowel health with your doctor, undergoing regular screenings, and maintaining a fiber-rich diet, you can reduce the risk of being one of the 300 Australians diagnosed with bowel cancer each week.

We understand the importance of convenience and efficiency in healthcare, which is why we offer features like online appointment management, calendar integration, check-in options, and real-time queue updates.
