Update for patients - 28 July 2020

We are committed to serving our community through this pandemic. Telehealth remains our preferred first option for contact. We remain open for face-to-face consults for those issues that clearly require this. Please CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE for a full update.

Vale Professor Neil Carson - AO

We are saddened by the passing of Emeritus Professor Neil Carson AO on 10 June 2020.  Blackburn Clinic was founded by Professor Carson in 1952 and he maintained his connection with the clinic until his passing. It was on the current site at 195 Whitehorse Road that Professor Carson first established the Blackburn Clinic general practice, using the lounge room of his family home as the waiting room.

Update for our patients - 21st May 2020

Preventative health activities are now available. Telehealth continues to be our initial contact and assessment service but the clinic is open, safe and fully operational to attend to those issues that require a face to face consultation. Patients with fever or respiratory symptoms continue to be seen in our Carpark Respiratory Clinic. CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR MORE DETAILS.

Background

Bookings made online or with our receptionists will be an appointment time with a GP, who will call you and assess your concern over the telephone.  There may be a charge for telehealth consultations, Concession card holders will be bulk billed.  This call may come from a private/unknown number.  Please answer your phone if it rings near your scheduled appointment time.

If the doctor decides that an examination is required, a subsequent appointment will be arranged for you to attend the Clinic.

This is necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, keep you safe and keep the Clinic open.
