NEW COVID-19 POLICY
- Masks are recommended within the premises
- Cashless payments preferred
If you have any cold/flu or Covid-19 like symptoms such as fever, sore throat or cough, loss of smell/taste, OR if you are isolating or awaiting Covid-19 test results, OR have been notified as a close contact of a positive case, please inform our reception staff; they will arrange a telehealth (video or phone) appointment for you, with one of our doctors. The doctor may be able to help you with your problem without physically seeing you, including arranging any necessary tests, prescriptions, or work certificates.
If the doctor determines you need to be seen for a physical examination, they will book you an appointment with a doctor who will be wearing full Personal Protective Equipment. If you have another health issue, but also have symptoms of an infection, the receptionists will give you a telehealth booking, where the doctor will be able to assess your problems.
We are continuing to book telehealth (video or phone) consultations over the phone or on the booking app. You will have a time booked when your GP will call you, please keep your phone charged, on and near you at this time. If you GP decides they need to see you in person, they will give you a time to come to the clinic to be seen.
We are now able to refer for tests for Coronavirus at private pathology providers and can organise this on your behalf after a telehealth appointment.

"the heart and soul of a general practice should be genuinely caring for people"
Cockburn Medical Centre has proudly served the people of Spearwood and the surrounding neighborhood for over thirty years; providing high quality medical care through many generations.
Our practice was founded in 1985 with the idea of genuinely caring for people.
We believe that caring means not just treating the symptoms but considering the whole person and their long-term wellbeing.
Caring means adapting our approach to the needs of every individual; being easy to talk to and explaining ourselves in plain language.
It means following up and being accountable for our advice, and it means maintaining high professional standards and up-to-date skills.
APPOINTMENTS
New Patients Welcome!
You’ll need to make an appointment to see one of our doctors. Most appointments take 10 to 15 minutes. If you think you might need longer, please let our receptionist know when you call.
Online bookings can be made through our website by clicking the Book Now button or under our Bookings page.
FEES
Whilst we are predominantly a private billing practice, bulk billing is available for children under the age of 16 years during weekday appointments. Please note that kids between the age of 12-16 years will be billed a gap for long/complex appointments, at the doctor’s discretion. We also offer pension and concession rate billing to all concession card holders. All DVA card holders are also directly billed to DVA.
Please note: Each appointment is 10 minutes long and for one patient only. If you are booking for more than one patient, please choose one appointment time per patient.
A full private fee applies to appointments booked on Saturdays.
HOME VISITS
Our doctors may (at their discretion) arrange to come to their regular patient’s home if the patient is very ill and unable to visit the surgery.
