Griffith Medical Centre: Appointment Booking, GP Doctors & Bulk Billing

This page is about Griffith Medical Centre at 1 Animoo Avenue, Griffith NSW 2680. Use it to find the official clinic website, book a GP appointment, check the current doctor roster, understand the clinic’s mixed-billing signal, compare conflicting opening-hour listings, and avoid relying on older fee information as though it were a current 2026 policy.

For a routine appointment, use the clinic’s own appointment page or the current Healthengine booking profile. If you are new, need a longer or procedure appointment, depend on bulk billing, or need a specific GP, call 02 6964 5888 before finalising.

Emergency: routine GP booking is not emergency care. For a life-threatening illness or injury in Australia, call Triple Zero (000).

Appointment booking

How to Book Griffith Medical Centre

Open the official appointment page. Start with Griffith Medical Centre’s own booking page so you are using the clinic’s intended patient pathway.
If the embedded clinic booking does not suit you, check Healthengine. A current Healthengine profile is live for Griffith Medical Centre and displays available practitioner booking options.
Choose only an appointment type actually shown. Do not assume a standard booking is suitable for procedures, pregnancy care, mental-health planning, mole mapping, work medicals or several concerns.
Use the live doctor list. Practitioner rosters change. Select a currently available GP rather than relying on a saved screenshot or an old directory.
Check bulk billing before confirming if cost matters. The safest question is: “Will this exact appointment with this doctor be bulk billed for me, or will I pay a fee?”
Call reception for anything unclear. Phone 02 6964 5888 for appointment length, new-patient questions, a specific doctor, procedures, Saturday availability, billing or urgent same-day timing.
Need another GP because no suitable Griffith appointment is available? Use the Medical Centre Near Me guide to search Healthdirect by suburb or postcode instead of guessing from an old directory.
Billing needs a careful answer

Does Griffith Medical Centre Bulk Bill?

The safest current answer is mixed billing with conditional bulk billing. NSW Health’s current service listing says bulk billing is available with conditions and that fees may apply.

Griffith Medical Centre’s own fee page is still online, but it contains several older pieces of billing information that do not fully agree with each other. One section says children under 5 are bulk billed; another says children under 12; another older 2023 notice says under-5s and DVA card holders continue to be bulk billed while pension and Health Care Card holders receive reduced rates. Because those statements conflict, this page does not present one of those age thresholds as the definitive 2026 policy.

Current public status Mixed billing

NSW Health currently describes the service this way.

Bulk billing Available with conditions

Eligibility should be confirmed for your patient type, doctor and appointment.

Fee risk Long, complex and procedural visits

The clinic’s published fee information says longer or more complex consultations and procedures can attract different fees.

Do not use an old age rule as a promise. The official fee page contains conflicting historical bulk-billing criteria. For a 2026 appointment, phone reception and ask what applies to your exact appointment today.
Useful question to ask: “I have a Medicare card and [concession/DVA status if relevant]. Will my standard appointment with this GP be bulk billed, or what will my out-of-pocket fee be?”
Billing context: if you want a simple explanation of how mixed billing differs from full bulk billing, compare the Lake Cathie mixed-billing guide with the Dapto bulk-billing GP guide. Those clinics have different policies; their rules do not apply to Griffith Medical Centre.

Griffith Medical Centre Opening Hours 2026

The opening-hour sources are not fully consistent. NSW Health currently publishes one schedule, while Healthengine and the clinic homepage publish broader hours for some days. Rather than silently choosing one, the table below shows the conflict.

Public-holiday hours can differ from ordinary hours. NSW Health publishes specific holiday closures for this service, so do not assume a normal weekday timetable applies on a NSW public holiday.
