Frequently Asked Questions

What is GPs in Aged Care & who provides the care?

GPs in Aged Care is a dedicated medical service for residents in aged care homes, delivered by experienced, Australian-registered General Practitioners with a special interest in aged care.

How does a resident join this service?

Joining is easy—just like enrolling with a regular GP clinic. The only difference is, here the doctor comes to you instead of you going to the clinic.

How often do GPs visit, and what happens if a doctor isn’t available urgently?

Our GPs conduct regular in-person visits to facilities. If the GP is unavailable, we support nursing staff with timely telehealth or phone consultations when needed.

Do you handle prescriptions, referrals, and ongoing care?

Yes, we manage scripts (sent directly to pharmacies), chronic conditions, and referrals to specialists or allied health. Each resident is usually assigned a regular GP for continuity of care.

Can family members communicate with the GP?

Yes, with consent from the resident, we communicate with family via phone or participate in care conferences to ensure a collaborative approach.

Is the service bulk billed, and are after-hours options available?

All eligible services are bulk billed under Medicare. Special requests from family my incur additional fees which are not covered by medicare. After-hours needs are generally covered by locum services or the National Home Doctor Service if in -person visit from regular GP is not immediately possible.
