Service Delivery

Running on Time

Priority is given to urgent cases. If you are unwell and your GP is unable to see you, we will attempt to fit you in with another GP. We will always do our best to accommodate you. All Allied Health Practitioners are committed to see you at your scheduled time as they are less affected by emergency appointments.

We endeavour to run on time, but are unable to predict when GPs will need to spend more time with a patient than originally allocated. You can assist us by booking an appropriate appointment length and being cautious about booking inflexible commitments after your appointment.

If you need to return for review please book ahead as you will find more flexibility than attempting to fit in ‘on the day'.

Confidentiality/Privacy

Your medical record is a confidential document and we maintain security of your personal health information at all times. All Practitioners and staff at RTH are bound by a confidentiality agreement which ensures that all client information is confidential. If files are to be shared with other practitioners the client must agree.

We are bound by state and federal privacy laws and have clearly defined policies and procedures which ensure that your privacy is of our utmost concern.

We Welcome your Feedback

We are committed to providing a quality service and welcome your feedback. There will be a customer survey available at reception and on our website for you to provide us with ongoing feedback. Once a year we also run a survey managed by an outside  organisation which provides us with feedback against a national standard of service.  We recognise that even with the best intention and policies there may be times when you are unhappy with our service and we encourage you to speak directly to your practitioner or our Practice Manager    with any suggestions or complaints you may have. There will be a form which you can record this feedback on available both online and at reception and RTH Management will ensure it is followed up. If you are still unhappy with the outcome you may contact the Health Services Complaint Commission at www.hccc.nsw.gov.au.
