After-hours and urgent care

After-Hours Care When Wangara Medical Centre Is Closed

The official patient information page mentions after-hours home-visit partner arrangements. One section names WADMS on 08 9321 9133, while another names Dial-a-Doctor on 1300 030 030. Because the official page contains both, call the clinic during opening hours if you need the current after-hours partner.

The same page says that outside normal hours, in medical emergencies, patients can seek assistance from Joondalup Health Campus. For life-threatening symptoms, call 000. For non-emergency health advice, call healthdirect on 1800 022 222.

Emergency Call 000 Chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing trouble, collapse or major injury.

Telehealth, Prescriptions, Pain Medication, Results and Records

The official patient information page says all patients are required to make an appointment, and telephone consults are charged at the same rate as face-to-face consults. It also says the clinic is not designed for routine doctor communication by email.

The page also says drugs of addiction and pain medication are not prescribed unless a clinical need is evident, prior history is obtained, and a patient-doctor relationship has been established. This matters because booking solely for restricted medication may not produce the outcome you expect.

Telehealth Same-rate warning Telephone consults are charged at the same rate as face-to-face consults.
Pain medication Not automatic Prior history and established relationship may be required.
Records Transfer fee may apply Official page says medical record transfers can involve a fee.
