Address spelling note:
one line on the clinic’s official contact page displays “161 Edwards St”,

Appointment pathway
How to Book Allcare Medical Centre
The clinic maintains an official appointment page and also asks patients to phone for
health-related enquiries or appointments. Because the public appointment page does not expose
every booking option in plain text, do not assume a particular third-party booking provider or
appointment type unless it is displayed when you open the current page.
Open the clinic’s official appointment page.
Confirm that the page says Allcare Medical Centre, Melrose Park and shows the
Edward Street clinic details.
Use the booking option currently shown there.
If a booking widget or appointment service loads, follow its current prompts and
choose only the appointment type it actually offers.
Call if the online path is unclear or unavailable.
Phone (08) 8371 1191.
This is also the better route for skin procedures, iron infusions,
medicals, paperwork, home-visit requests or complex billing questions.
Ask for a longer appointment when needed.
The clinic’s official fee information explicitly asks patients who need extra time
to tell reception when booking.
Confirm the fee before attending.
Charges vary with consultation duration, complexity, GP and concession status.
Cancel early if you cannot attend.
The current fee page lists a $50 non-attendance fee when an appointment is missed
or not cancelled at least two hours before the booked time.
Do not rely on the current Healthengine profile for online booking:
it says the Allcare Medical Centre Edwardstown profile is unverified and currently
has no appointments listed. Use the clinic’s own website or reception instead.
Skin cancer & procedures
Skin Cancer Checks at Allcare Medical Centre
Allcare’s official service page specifically lists
skin cancer examinations and a range of surgical or treatment-room procedures.
The clinic also lists procedures for skin cancer, cysts, warts, abscesses and ingrown toenails,
plus cryotherapy, wound care, ear syringing and removal of foreign bodies.
Skin examinationSkin cancer examinations listed
Ask reception whether your appointment should be booked as a dedicated skin examination.

The current official fee page specifically says skin lesion excisions are privately billed.
Appointment timeCall if a procedure may be needed
The right GP, treatment-room time and procedure fee may differ from a routine consultation.
Skin-check billing:
do not assume that a skin cancer examination, biopsy, excision, cryotherapy or dressing
follows the same fee as a standard GP consultation.
The clinic explicitly lists private fees for procedures, including skin lesion excisions.
Allcare Medical Centre describes itself as a
private billing clinic.
Its current official fee page says private billing applies to
all patients aged 13 years and over.
Veterans Affairs and concession card holders are charged at a discounted rate.
Bulk billing is explicitly described as
at the GP’s discretion.
Children aged 12 and under are typically bulk billed for standard weekday consultations,
but the clinic publishes practitioner-specific exceptions.

private fees apply for procedures such as skin lesion excisions and iron infusions.
The clinic also lists private/non-Medicare arrangements for commercial driving medicals,
pre-employment medicals, workers compensation and motor vehicle accident claims.
Allcare’s current official contact and opening-hours pages publish the same core schedule:

and public holidays 9:00am–5:00pm.
Monday8:00am–9:00pm

Sunday9:00am–5:00pm
Public holidays9:00am–5:00pm
Do not confuse fee bands with opening hours:
the clinic’s billing page contains separate weekday/weekend time bands used to calculate fees.
Those billing bands are not the same thing as the clinic’s published opening-hour schedule.

Yes. The clinic’s current fee information says reception can book a
telehealth consultation when a patient wishes to speak with their GP.
It also says standard consultation fees apply.
The clinic notes that it is not always possible for a GP to make an assessment by telephone.
Therefore, telehealth suitability can depend on the reason for the consultation and the GP’s judgement.
How to arrange itCall reception
Ask reception to book a telehealth consult rather than simply phoning and expecting to speak directly with a GP.
FeesStandard fees apply
Confirm the current charge and Medicare eligibility before the appointment.
Skin checks and procedures:
do not assume telehealth can replace an in-person skin examination,
wound assessment, vaccination, procedure or treatment-room appointment.
Ask reception which route is appropriate.

a dedicated skin/procedure service list. If location, billing or urgent-access pathway matters more,
compare the exact clinic policies rather than assuming every Adelaide practice works the same way.
