We provide women's health checks, men's health assessments, skin cancer examinations, travel vaccinations, chronic disease management, and mental health care plans with experienced GPs and specialist nurses.
How can I access after-hours medical care?
Our Bridges After Hours GP Clinics operate at Erina and Kanwal locations with extended evening and weekend hours. No appointments are necessary for urgent care outside regular business hours.
What payment options are available for consultations?
We operate private billing with Medicare rebates processed electronically. Most consultations incur out-of-pocket costs between $50-$80, with payment required at the time of service.
Do you offer online appointment booking?
Existing patients can book appointments 24/7 through our online system. New patients should contact reception directly to schedule their initial consultation with a GP.
