Which Doctor or Appointment Should You Choose?

Routine GP consultation

Use the official GP directory to see the listed practitioners and follow its booking option. Phone if the appointment type is unclear.

Skin cancer check

The centre lists Dr Amar Bhat for skin cancer medicine and links to a dedicated skin clinic. Ask about consultation and procedure fees separately.

Women’s health concern

Women’s health is an appropriate GP appointment enquiry. Confirm which practitioner offers the particular service you need and whether extra time is required.

Doctor availability is not guaranteed: an official roster confirms a practitioner is listed, not that they have an appointment available today or are currently accepting every new-patient category.

Booking help

How to Book a GP or Skin Appointment

Open the official centre website.

Use the general-practitioners page or the practice’s Book Online option. The official site links its practitioners to a booking service.

Choose the right practitioner.

Select a listed GP or the relevant skin practitioner when that choice is offered. If you are unsure, telephone reception first.

Select the appropriate appointment.

Follow the booking service’s currently available options. Do not choose a standard consultation for a procedure without checking suitability.

Review the fee and time.

Confirm whether the appointment is an ordinary GP consultation, a skin clinic service, telehealth, an urgent care visit or another service with separate billing rules.

Complete booking confirmation.

Provide the details required by the official booking platform and check the confirmation message before travelling.

Prepare for your visit.

Bring your Medicare card, concession or DVA card where relevant, medicines list, previous results and referral information.

For a same-day appointment: check the live official booking page or call reception. This directory does not access current appointment inventory.
Verified skin care

Skin Checks, Skin Cancer Medicine & Procedures

The centre’s official site includes a Skin Clinic service and names Dr Amar Bhat in its skin cancer doctor directory. This is stronger evidence than a general directory mentioning “skin checks” without identifying a practitioner.

Skin assessment booking

Ask whether you need a general skin check, a focused appointment for a particular spot, or an assessment with a practitioner who has skin cancer medicine training.

Procedure and pathology costs

Ask separately whether a biopsy, removal or other procedure has charges beyond an initial consultation. Do not assume all skin services are bulk billed.

If you notice a new or changing skin spot: Cancer Council SA recommends medical assessment of unusual skin changes. See Cancer Council SA’s skin cancer information. This general guidance does not replace a clinician’s assessment.
Women’s health appointments

Women’s Health at Port Road Medical Centre

ForHealth’s centre materials refer to cervical-screening reminders and provide independent GP booking. Women’s health needs can be discussed when requesting a GP appointment, but the exact service, practitioner, consultation duration and billing must be confirmed.

Cervical screening

Ask whether screening is offered by the GP you choose and whether the appointment needs to be booked as a particular consultation type.

Contraception and reproductive health

Explain the purpose of the visit to reception. Do not assume every GP performs device insertion or removal procedures.

Menstrual and menopause concerns

Ask for a suitable GP consultation and whether more appointment time is needed for several related concerns.

Important distinction: specialist women’s-health services at or near a medical complex are not automatically services offered by every independent GP at that address. Confirm the exact provider before booking.
Fees and eligibility

Bulk Billing, Private Fees & Medicare

Old Port Road Medical & Dental Centre officially describes its general practice as mixed billing. Some patients and services are bulk billed; others attract an out-of-pocket cost. Independent GPs determine their own fees.

Eligible groups

The official fee table lists children under 16, DVA Gold Card holders, pensioner concession card holders and healthcare card holders in bulk-billing categories, with conditions.

Other Medicare patients

The official table shows gap fees for many face-to-face GP appointments. Fees vary by practitioner and ordinary/after-hours category.

Skin, dental and allied health

Do not assume the GP fee policy applies to skin procedures, dentists, imaging, psychology, physiotherapy or other independent providers.

Why no fixed fee promise? The practice’s own pages caution that independent practitioners vary their fees. Current booking details and official fee information are more reliable than a copied price table that may become outdated.
Hours are service-specific

Medical Centre Opening Hours

The official ForHealth contact page lists the centre open seven days. These are centre hours, not a promise that every independent GP, skin clinic or dental service operates for the entire period.

DayOfficial centre hours
Monday–Friday8:00am–8:00pm
Saturday8:00am–6:00pm
Sunday8:00am–6:00pm
Public holidays and individual services: check the official booking page or telephone the practice. Healthengine shows different hours from the official centre website, so this article follows ForHealth for published centre hours rather than treating a directory schedule as the final authority.
More than a GP clinic

Other Services at Old Port Road Medical & Dental Centre

Dental care

The official centre site links to Primary Dental. Use the dental booking pathway rather than assuming a GP appointment covers dentistry.

Allied health

Physiotherapy, podiatry, psychology and dietetics appear in the practitioner/service listings. Confirm each provider’s appointment and fee arrangements.

Pathology and imaging

Abbott Pathology and Lumus Imaging are linked from the centre site. Check collection, referral and appointment arrangements directly with the relevant service.

Occupational health

Listed among centre services. Ask what examinations and employer forms can be accommodated.

Telehealth

The official website lists telehealth and a booking link. Medicare eligibility and practitioner availability require confirmation.

Urgent care clinic

A Medicare Urgent Care Clinic is linked from the centre’s official navigation. Check its own eligibility, current hours and service scope rather than assuming it operates as the usual GP service.
