In line with WA Health COVID 19 State -wide updates, as of Thursday 3 March close of business, the health services alert system will move to the “red” alert.
Please see: Health WA – COVID-19 Update for more detailed information related to this.
At the “red” alert level, health service providers will take a range of steps to manage the increased risk of Covid-19 transmission including:
These changes may be inconvenient or upsetting for some people, however they are necessary to help keep the most vulnerable people in our community as safe as possible.
Here at Glen Forrest Medical Centre, we are doing our very best as a team to continue caring for each one of you and our community.
We will continue to offer face to face consultations although much of our care will involve increased use of telehealth and video health consultations.
All of our doctors will be continuing to offer some face to face consultations but only on certain days. If you are consulting with your regular doctor via telehealth or video health and your doctor considers you require a physical examination that can not wait for two to three days until they have a face to face appointment, you will be seen by our Duty Doctor on the same day (who will be in full PPE).
This will be arranged by your doctor.
We understand that whilst this is not ideal, as we all inherently trust each other’s clinical skills, this is what we will be doing, for the benefit of all our patients.
Our nurses will continue to offer their usual caring service with the benefit of increased PPE.
Please be mindful that, like the rest of the WA community, at times some of our staff will be furloughed as close contacts of family or friends, or with illness.
If you develop symptoms consistent with Covid-19, please go and get a PCR test and isolate until your result is available and access the information available online via Healthy WA website or the RACGP website.
Only after doing this will we consider clinical review for you. If you are struggling to breathe and are in isolation or have a positive test then please proceed to your nearest Emergency Department.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we approach the next few weeks and months, working together for the benefit and ongoing care for you, our community.

As we get closer to the border opening, Glen Forrest Medical Centre would like everyone to consider and plan for possible changes to your regular doctor’s visits.
Whilst we will be open, Telehealth appointments (phone/video) will become a more regular occurrence.
If you (or your doctor!) have any symptoms (cough, cold, fever, sore throat or gastro) a Telehealth appointment will be your first point of contact with your doctor.
If you require a script or request form the doctor will send a digital version to your mobile.
Do you, family members, friends and neighbours have the technology available to do this?
Do you need to have a plan in place for someone who doesn’t?
Another thing to consider is does your usual pharmacy accept electronic scripts and if they do not, find another one that will be able to.
If you have any concerns please discuss with reception or your doctor at your next visit.

We wish to remind you that we are a private billing Practice and would appreciate payment on the day.
We don’t routinely Bulk Bill because we value our ability to provide quality service more than our Government does. Medicare is your Insurance rebate.
