Ochre Medical Centre Cygnet 14 George Street, Cygnet, Tasmania 7112

Welcome to Ochre Medical Centre Cygnet, located at 14 George Street in Cygnet, Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest in the health sector, providing high-quality healthcare services to our patients.

At Ochre Medical Centre Cygnet, we prioritize the well-being of our patients. We have a dedicated treatment room where our nurses provide exceptional care, including dressings, wound care, and other procedures. Please note that there may be a fee for these services in addition to the consultation fee. Rest assured, you will be informed of any fees in advance.

Our doctors at Ochre Medical Centre Cygnet are independent practitioners who bill privately. This means that the fee for their consultations is higher than the Medicare rebate. The Medicare rebate will only cover a portion of the total cost. However, in certain circumstances, our doctors may provide bulk-billing. We have made these billing arrangements to ensure that we can maintain the high standards of care for all our patients. For more details on our billing arrangements, please click here.

We also prioritize preventive care and encourage our patients to take proactive steps towards their health. For example, we emphasize the importance of regular diabetes testing to catch any potential issues early. Additionally, we urge our patients to prioritize bowel health and offer support for bowel screening. By consulting with your doctor and incorporating plenty of fiber into your diet, you can reduce your risk of being diagnosed with bowel cancer.

Managing your healthcare experience is made easier at Ochre Medical Centre Cygnet. With our online appointment booking system, you can easily make and manage appointments, add them to your calendar, and even check your position in the queue.

Our team at Ochre Medical Centre Cygnet consists of experienced male and female GPs who are dedicated to providing high-quality care. They come from diverse backgrounds and have received their medical education from reputable institutions such as the University of Tasmania and the University of Melbourne.

We also want to inform you about the upcoming MyMedicare program, starting on 1 October 2023. This program aims to strengthen the relationship between you as a patient and your healthcare providers.

We understand the importance of respiratory health, especially in flu season. Therefore, we recommend wearing masks or face coverings when visiting our practice. If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, we kindly ask you to book a telehealth appointment instead of coming in person. In case you do require a face-to-face appointment, please wear a mask or provide a negative RAT test. We appreciate your understanding as our resources may be stretched, resulting in some delays and a shortage of routine and non-urgent appointments.

At Ochre Health, we prioritize the well-being of our patients and the work-life balance of our GPs. We invest heavily in developing and supporting our Practice Managers and their teams, as well as in advanced systems and technology, to improve local healthcare.
