The introduction of Victorian and Federal Government Privacy Legislation in 2002 creates certain legal obligations for doctors as to how personal health information may be conveyed to patients. In line with these requirements it is necessary for patients to make an appointment to see their doctor for follow up of all test results. This includes those of a routine nature, unless otherwise advised by the treating doctor.

A discounted fee may apply for this followup consultation.

In unusual circumstances, your doctor may suggest that you ring and speak to the nurse on a weekend after 2pm Saturday on 9764 1617. If the results are not normal, the nurse will inform you of this and suggest you make an appointment with your doctor .
