Staff Changes
There has been a number of changes at Aurora Health Centre over the last few months. Drs Wright and Hicks are on maternity leave and some of our doctors have changed when they are available for appointments.
Current Wait Times
Due to recent staff changes, our wait times for appointments is currently about four weeks.
To help with this, we’ve introduced a Nurse Triage Phone List.
Our reception/administration team can add you to the list, and a member of our nursing team will call you for a quick assessment to determine if you need to be seen urgently or if it is appropriate to wait for a later appointment.
Also, a reminder that we are not an urgent care facility. This means we are unable to see patients urgently who have not booked an appointment. The same nurse triage system will take place if you choose to walk into Aurora Health Centre without an appointment and there will be a $55 fee – payable on the day. The nurse will triage you based on your symptoms. You may still be advised to attend the Urgent Doctors, ED or come back at a later time/date for a Doctor’s appointment (which you will be charged for).
New Patients
We are currently not accepting new patients
Repeat Script Requests
We require three working days when you request a repeat prescription, which is $20.
If you need an urgent script, please allow 24 hours and this will cost $30.
Any requests for early release of certain medications will incur a script fee of $20.
With repeat prescriptions you will still need be seen at least once every 6 months.
You must be a registered patient at Aurora Health Centre to be able to book an appointment or request a repeat prescription on the patient portal - Manage My Health.
