I used to go to the free one in Palmy, but found they were really crap - with diagnosis and with children - and with waiting. Why should I have to wait 45mins when I made an appointment!!!!! With two kiddies!!!
Anyway, i found one where I had to pay $10 for kids, but it was sooooo worth it.

we pay $16 for our doctor - i think it is worth it though, to get a good gp. Of course, i would prefer not to have to pay, but there is a gp shortage so i have to be lucky that our gp has known x since she was born.
The government subsidise for under 6, but if the surgerys cost is more than that, they will pass it on to you the consumer.

Our GP is free for Maya, they're part of the Procare PHO system. Prescriptions should also be free for Under 5's unless it is an unsubsidised medicine.

Also Jess you may find that some place will charge for extra services and the use of stuff, so could of the charge been from the silver nitrate? I know we were charged for a dressing for Andrew once.

That really sucks. I am happy to pay for an extra service for an under 6 but to pay to see the dr during normal business hours thats rude.

they have now tried to charge me $15 for a repeat prescription for ella or $25 to fax it through to a pharmacy here!!! $10 to fax!?!?!?! I have cory ringing the kelburn med centre and finding out how we go about transferring to penny clifford. Ellas due her jabs when we get back so ill go there. I need to talk to someone decent and not in a hurry about ellas reflux.
Nikki is she pretty patient?

Arghhhhh I have typed this three times.
Penny is great. She was my doctor up at the hosp when I was up there for the *couterminationgh*.
Mark treats me like a bit of a nut sometimes (not in a mean way) but that just reflects that he is accurate judge of character.
Their number is 9399551
I haven't had to deal with things like reflux with them, but everything else has been great. And it's just little things like the receptionist remembering who we are, the nurses being FANTASTIC when giving imms, and being able to call in the morning and get an appointment for Han that day (or that morning if I ask nicely).
