Appointment guide

How to Book a GP Appointment

The practice offers online GP appointment booking through Healthengine. Its contact information also asks patients to telephone reception for appointment requests.

  1. Open the correct Healthengine profile. Check that the listing says Mount Waverley Medical Centre and shows the Stephensons Road location.
  2. Select the relevant appointment type. Healthengine lists general practice appointments. Only choose types and practitioners currently offered by the booking system.
  3. Check the appointment availability. Choose a suitable displayed time, then complete the patient and booking information requested.
  4. Review before confirming. Check the practice name, date, time, practitioner, consultation type and any payment or preparation notices.
  5. Call for complex appointments. If you have multiple concerns, need a procedure, want a longer consultation or need telehealth, call reception before choosing a routine online slot.

Changing or cancelling? The clinic asks patients to notify reception at least two hours before an appointment if they need to cancel. A fee may apply for non-attendance without adequate explanation. Check the current policy directly.
Telephone GP consultations

Mount Waverley Medical Centre Telehealth: Who Can Book?

Healthengine identifies the centre as telehealth-enabled, but the booking notes impose restrictions. They say teleconsultations are for existing patients who have attended the practice two to three times within the previous 12 months, and that patients should telephone the clinic to arrange one.

Appointment method Call reception

Do not assume a routine online GP slot automatically becomes a telephone appointment.

Existing-patient requirement Prior visits required

Ask reception to confirm whether your previous attendance satisfies the current practice rule.

Billing Confirm Medicare eligibility

The practice’s newer GP bulk-billing policy does not remove the need to check your exact telehealth item and eligibility.

Before the telephone appointment

  • Confirm your appointment is specifically for telehealth.
  • Check whether Medicare will cover the consultation.
  • Ask if a face-to-face visit is required instead.
  • Have your current medicines, allergies and relevant records available.
  • Keep your telephone accessible around the agreed appointment time.
Important: the clinic’s earlier Healthengine material contains older 2025 billing information. For current fees, prioritise the newer official clinic policy and confirm telehealth-specific arrangements by telephone.
Call to Request Telehealth

For comparison, the Carnegie Medical Centre telehealth and billing guide explains a different Victorian practice’s rules. Do not transfer that clinic’s fees or telehealth eligibility to Mount Waverley.

Medicare and fees

Does Mount Waverley Medical Centre Bulk Bill in 2026?

Official position: the centre’s 30 October 2025 announcement says it became a Medicare bulk-billing practice from 1 November 2025, bulk billing Medicare-eligible GP consultations.

This includes eligible general consultations and listed GP appointment categories such as men’s and women’s health, childhood health, chronic condition care planning, mental health care planning, family planning, skin checks and travel vaccination advice.

However, this does not mean every medical service is free. A skin-check consultation, for example, may be Medicare bulk billed while a separate skin lesion removal procedure can attract a fee.

Appointment or service Published billing position What to check
Medicare-eligible GP consultation Bulk billed Confirm Medicare eligibility and consultation type.
Eligible care plans, mental health plans and skin checks Included in the published GP bulk-billing categories Ask whether a separate procedure, vaccine or consumable costs extra.
Sutures, iron infusion, Implanon procedures or skin lesion removal Private fees may apply Ask for the expected total cost before proceeding.
WorkCover, employment medicals, insurance or driving reports Non-Medicare/private-fee categories listed Confirm the appointment type and full fee.
Telehealth consultation Depends on current Medicare and practice eligibility Confirm your existing-patient status and any private charges.
Why no old consultation-price table? Healthengine has shown older privately billed consultation prices alongside superseded 2025 billing wording. Publishing those as current GP fees would conflict with the practice’s newer official bulk-billing policy.

Australian Government information

Medicare, MyMedicare and GP Registration

The practice encourages patients to register with MyMedicare. This is an Australian Government voluntary patient registration program that helps formalise the relationship between eligible patients, their regular GP and their chosen practice.

Medicare bulk billing Payment for an eligible medical service

When a provider bulk bills, Medicare is billed directly and the provider accepts the benefit as full payment for that service.

Services Australia explanation
MyMedicare Voluntary practice registration

Registration is free and subject to eligibility. Certain longer Medicare-funded telehealth services may be linked to MyMedicare registration.

Government MyMedicare guidance
Don’t confuse the two: having Medicare eligibility, being registered with MyMedicare and qualifying for a particular telehealth rebate are different questions. Ask reception which rules apply to your appointment. MyMedicare registration is voluntary, not a blanket requirement for ordinary GP care.

Official Sources and Verification Notes

This independent guide is based on the clinic’s published website, the newer Medicare bulk-billing announcement, the Healthengine listing and Australian Government information.

Editorial note — reviewed October 2026: the official practice policy beginning 1 November 2025 is newer than Healthengine’s older mixed-billing text. This article therefore does not reproduce outdated private GP consultation prices as current charges. Check fees, appointment availability and telehealth eligibility directly before visiting.
