OGAM introduced GP services from January 2011. This was in response to patient enquiries, a rapidly expanding local population, and a lack of quality GP services in the area.
The skills of a general medical practitioner will always be in demand. General practice is a unique specialty which takes a holistic approach to each individual patient. We take into consideration the patient's health beliefs, psyche, family / social / and working background, physical symptoms, physical examination, investigations, and other visual cues to arrive at a management plan particular to their needs. No other specialty or allied practitioners take such a holistic and dynamic approach to diagnosis and management. This is what makes general practice so unique and exciting. We, as general practitioners, are privileged to be involved in such a broad-ranged specialty. GP services are offered from Mon - Friday with Saturday services also available . Consultations are conducted under COVIDsafe conditions. We are a Private Billing Clinic. Medicare rebates are processed at OGAM for your convenience.
