Receiving Your Test Result
Your doctor will advise when they expect the results to arrive at the practice. Results are only to be discussed in consultation with your doctor. Please make an appointment to see your doctor after having the tests performed. Please ensure that your contact details are kept up to date.
Recall and Reminder System
Our practice is committed to preventative care. Your Doctor will seek your permission to be included on our reminder system.
We may issue you with a ‘Reminder Notice’ from time to time, offering you preventative health services appropriate to your care.
If you do not wish to be part of this system, please advise reception or your doctor.

Fees and Billing
Important notice: Transitioning back to Bulk Billing
As of the 1st November 2025, our practice will be returning to a bulk billing practice. This means we will bulk bill GP consultations for patients with a valid and current Medicare Card. Some procedures and allied health services may incur a private fee.
Tarneit Family Medical and Dental Centre now has implemented a DNA policy whereby patients who fail to attend appointments will incur a fee of $30.00. A minimum of 8 hours’ notice is required for all appointments. However, we do understand emergencies can arise. Tarneit Family Medical and Dental Centre uses SMS reminders as a convenient way to remind you the day before, of your appointment details. This service is a courtesy only and not receiving your SMS reminder is not a valid reason to miss your appointment. It is your responsibility to be aware of your appointment details, and to arrive on time or reschedule with sufficient notice. Tarneit Family Medical and Dental Centre reserves the right to request these fees are paid in full before another appointment can be made. You may also be limited in the way you can book in the future for repeat, serious offenders.
Privacy Statement
Your Medical record is a confidential document.
It is the policy of this Practice to maintain the security of personal health information at all times, and to ensure that this information is only available to authorised staff members.
