We are delighted to welcome new patients to Kirribilli Doctors. Our team is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality medical care in a comfortable and supportive environment.
To help us provide you with the best care, please arrive a few minutes early for your first appointment to complete a New Patient Registration Form.
You will need to bring:
A valid Medicare card (if applicable)
Photo identification (e.g. driver’s licence or student card)
A list of any current medications or allergies
Please note that all new patients must attend their first appointment in person. This allows our doctors to conduct a thorough assessment, review your medical history, and establish a trusted care relationship from the very beginning.
If you have previously seen another GP, we can arrange to have your medical records transferred to our clinic. Simply let our reception team know, and we will provide a Medical Records Transfer Form for you to complete and sign. Alternatively, you can easily do this by completing our secure online Medical Records Transfer Form before your first visit. Once authorised, we will contact your previous practice to securely obtain your medical history. This helps ensure continuity of care and allows our doctors to understand your past health background.
At Kirribilli Doctors, we take the time to get to know you and your health needs, ensuring you receive personalised, continuous care from the very beginning.

In most cases, we recommend reviewing your results during a face-to-face consultation. This ensures we can explore any concerns in depth and coordinate further care if needed. At times, simple results may also be provided by phone.
We all believe that preventitative care is important. From time to time, you may receive a call or text message with a reminder offering you preventative health services appropriate to your care. If you prefer not to receive these reminders, please let us know. For results, we will attempt to reach you by text, phone call and finally registered letter to deliver these results to you.

The no-show fee is equal to 50% of the scheduled appointment fee, as follows:
Standard consultation: $50
