My 80 y.o. mum, who is Pensioner Concession Card (Commonwealth) holder was charged for 10 minutes consultation $95 instead of $70, as indicated on the clinic's website and was confirmed with a receptionist over the phone prior to our visit. No sound explanation or any apology were given, apart of a very reluctant attempt by a receptionist "to check with the doctor", who refused to honour a discount. It left my mum very frustrated and disappointed on top of her fragile state of health.

A bit of a wait but I saw a doctor the same day, and she was excellent.

I booked my husband a GP appointment today with Dr Winn to get a referral for a blood test to find out what blood type he is. This was on advice from our midwife as I am a negative blood group and 29 weeks pregnant and I wont require the anti-D injection if my husband is also a negative blood type (hence us wanting to find out). When my husband told Dr Winn this- she told him very bluntly that the test we were asking for was unnecessary and that I should get the anti D injection no matter his blood type because there is a 10% chance the baby isnt biologically his baby! She went on to tell him we were making poor health decisions and lectured him on the dangerous decision we were making- all based on the assumption that I had cheated on him and the baby wasnt his. After some insistence from my husband, she reluctantly agreed to give him the referral for the test but told him he would have to pay the full amount for it because it was unnecessary. She then passively aggressively asked him what other blood tests he would like to purchase today. Im not sure why this lady is allowed to work as a GP when she is clearly very uneducated in basic general pregnancy care. She is also quite clearly burnt out and not treating patients with any sort of respect or dignity. I would suggest that she do some extra training or maybe consider a career change.
