About GP Access
GP Access provides comprehensive and quality after-hours medical care and advice to people of Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and surrounding areas.
We are open and available when your regular GP is closed.
GP Access After Hours operates via a phone triage and appointment system. Our service is staffed with almost 200 local General Practitioners (GP's), Registered Nurses (RN's) and support staff. For routine and non-urgent care, you should make an appointment to see your regular GP in business hours.
GP Access provides bulk-billed services for eligible consultations. Our services include a clinic based face-to-face appointment or where appropriate, a Telehealth consultation. GP Access staff will discuss eligibility/ineligibility for a Telehealth consultation at the time of the telephone triage. A fee will be charged if a patient does not meet the eligibility requirements set by Medicare and proceeds with a Telehealth consultation.
