Minor Emergencies & Procedures Perth

Minor Medical Injuries Perth

Minor Emergencies

Our medical team is always available to treat minor emergencies during our opening hours.

Simply, give one of our friendly and professional receptionists a call for advice on what to do next.

However, if you feel your situation is very serious or life threatening, go to your closest Emergency Room at an hospital or dial 000 immediately.

Wound Care Perth

Wound Care

Our caring team of GPs, along with our nurse, are well-versed in the treatment and care of all types of wounds, whether chronic or acute.

For Instance, we commonly treat wound-types including pressure sores, ones sustained from acute injury, diabetic and surgical wounds.

Our nurse is on hand to professionally treat, clean and dress wounds.

In addition, she teaches both patients and their families how to best care for a wound at home.  This education is crucial both to promote healing and to make the patient aware of signs of infection to watch out for.

Cuts An Stitches Perth

Cuts & Stitches

Do you have a cut that is deep or long, has a foreign object embedded in it, that won’t stop bleeding even after ten minutes of applying pressure.

Or perheps, the wound has resulted from a bite or any other object that could potentially cause infection.

If this is concerning you for any reason, our team is on hand to help.  Call our receptionists to make an appointment.

Skin Lesion perth

Skin Checks & Lesion Removal

Our GPs are on hand to perform skin checks to spot and act on any anomalies or skin changes early.

In fact, they may also suggest skin lesion removal and this can be performed in the Centre without having to attend the hospital.

Skin lesions are bumps or lumps on your skin such as skin tags, moles, warts or cysts. Most lesions are completely harmless and may not need to be removed.  However, you may still wish these to be removed for aesthetic reasons.

For advice and peace of mind, contact our receptionist.

Saturday Private Billing

To Our Valued Patients:

 

After much deliberation, we at Queens Park Medical Centre have deemed it necessary to introduce full private billing for Saturday appointments. This will take effect from 5th April. Previously bulk billed patients (children 15 and under, pension card holders, health care card holders, DVA card holders and Commonwealth Seniors card holders) and patients who hold an overseas student health cover with partnered insurance companies, will be expected to pay a minimum of $40 out of pocket gap fee.

 

This decision has not been made lightly and is largely because Medicare Rebates have not kept up with inflation and the rise in costs. Since 2018, Medicare rebates have increased on average by 1.3% annually whilst inflation has been at a much higher level.

 

We understand this may affect our patients. Therefore, we thank you for your ongoing support and trust that these changes will help us continue to provide you with quality healthcare. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions of concern.
