###COVID update ###- The team at Blair Athol Medical Clinic will continue to serve all of our patients with the same level of care and excellence during this difficult time.

We are offering Bulk-billed Telephone consultations to existing patients of the clinic, who have seen the clinic in the last 12 months, in accordance to the Medicare restrictions. If you have not been seen in the clinic in the last 12 months, or are a new patient, you can still have a telephone consultation, however, it is not eligible under medicare and will be privately billed to you. There will still be instances where face-to-face consultations are crucial. The doctor may ask you to come in for a face-to-face consultation if your problem is not suitable for a phone consultation, this is to enusre safety and that the approprate evaluations can be taken.

We will continue to offer face-to-face appointments to all new patients and existing patients, provided that you do not have cold or flu symptoms. If you have cold or flu symptoms, please call and speak to the reception staff regarding your options.
