Communications

Mt Waverley Clinic is committed to assisting you to proactively manage your health care and keep you well now and for the future.

As well as passing on to you health information and important updates, the doctors or our nurses or reception team may also need to contact your directly about your health.

Various forms of communication are used to deliver information to you, such as: phone calls, letters and electronic means, which include SMS and email. To improve the effectiveness of the practice systems, please make sure that your contact details are up-to-date. Should you not wish to be contacted, simply inform our friendly reception staff.

Doctors are contactable during normal clinic hours, however, a message will be taken by reception if the doctor is unavailable at the time of your call. Alternatively a nurse may be able to help with your question.

If you wish to contact us, please feel free to call us on 9807 9911 or email us at reception@mtwaverleyclinic.com.au. Please note, we are unable to provide medical advice or book appointments via email. To book an appointment please call the clinic or book online here

Our administration team will endeavour to respond to all correspondence within 48 hours, however to maintain the privacy of your health information, no medically sensitive information will be emailed or discussed over the phone.
