About Us
Moggill Road Family Practice opened on the 5th October 2020, providing quality, comprehensive and timely care to the local community.

Your Personal Information
All new patients are required to complete a registration form prior to their consultation. To ensure optimal patient care, we request that you inform us of your cultural background. For existing patients, if there have been any changes to your personal information such as change of contact or Medicare details, address or emergency contact please bring this to the attention of our reception staff on your next visit.
We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your health records and have protocols in place to safeguard your privacy. All information and medical records are strictly confidential and will not be shared with any third parties without your consent. For more information, please review our Practice Privacy Policy.
Cancellations
We do ask that if for any reason you are unable to attend your appointment that you notify us as soon as possible to allow others the opportunity for an appointment with their doctor. In some cases we may charge a fee for cancelled appointments.
After-Hours Arrangements
Hello Home Doctor provides services to our patients during after-hours when we are closed. Please call 134 100 to book an after-hours appointment.
If you have an emergency, please call 000.
Results and Reminders
All incoming pathology and radiology results and specialists letters are reviewed by doctors. A monitored recall system is in place and you will be contacted if your doctor is required to see you urgently.
Otherwise, please make an appointment to obtain results and to plan follow up care. No results will be given over the phone.
We have a reminder system in place for cervical screening, immunisations, care plan review, health assessments and other miscellaneous services. We also participate in national, state and territory reminder systems. Please advise us if you do not wish to participate in any of these recall and reminder systems, or talk to your doctor for more information.
Telephone Calls
You can contact the practice by calling us during surgery hours. Our staff are unable to give clinical information, including results, over the phone. All calls are made and received strictly within surgery hours. All calls are answered by either the reception or nursing team from the reception desk.
Telephone calls from patients will not be put through to our doctors. Our reception staff are happy to take messages or assist you with any general questions regarding your healthcare. If you have a medical question after seeing your doctor, our nurse may be able to assist, however, should this query not be resolved, you will need to arrange a subsequent consultation with your doctor.
Should a general message be conveyed from reception to a doctor on your behalf that is requiring a response, please allow up to 3 business days for a response. If you have an urgent medical problem that is life threatening or serious, you will be triaged by our nurse. All other issues will be triaged accordingly by our receptionist or nurse. For all medical emergencies, please dial 000.
Interpreter Service
Regardless of your preferred language, we can help you to arrange an interpreter through TIS to assist with any language barriers during your consultation. We are also able to arrange an interpreter through NABS, National Auslan Interpreter Service, for deaf patients.
Your Rights
If you have a problem with our service, we would like to hear about it. Please feel free to talk to your doctor or the receptionist. You may prefer to write to us or use our suggestion box. We take your concerns, suggestions and complaints seriously.
We believe problems are best dealt with through the practice. However, if you wish to take the matter further, or feel that you need to discuss the matter outside of the surgery, please contact the Office of the Health Ombudsman on 133 646 or visit their website to find out more.
