Face to face and TeleHealth during COVID-19

Please call our reception on 7228 5818 to book in for all vaccination clinics.
UPDATE ON TELEHEALTH FROM PEAR TREE. As of Monday 20th of July 2020 the Government will only allow us to offer bulk-billed TeleHealth consultations to patients seen face-to-face in the previous 12 months by any doctor within the practice (excepting children under 12 months of age). If you do not meet this criteria for TeleHealth, you will incur a full fee, and no Medicare rebate will apply.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our community all TeleHealth consultations will be bulk-billed for Medicare card holders, subject to Medicare ruling (see above). Face to face consultations and procedures will be charged at our usual private fees.
Chicken Pox (Varicella) Immunisation
Has your child had one or two chickenpox vaccinations? Chickenpox is currently in our area, including children vaccinated against it.
This is because one dose is 80-85% protective against developing any chickenpox, a second dose provides 98.3% protection. More information available here.
We can provide vaccinations for chicken pox privately at Pear Tree Family Practice. We source and transport our vaccines under strict accreditation standards, providing assurance they have been appropriately stored to maintain the cold chain and the vaccine potency.
To book an appointment for vaccination please call 7228 5818 or book online to discuss further with your doctor.
