Call GP Access After Hours on 1300 130 147. Our experienced Registered Nurses will provide you with the most appropriate care and advice and if required, arrange an appointment at one of our five clinics.

GP Access provides comprehensive and quality after-hours medical care and advice to people of Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and surrounding areas.

We are open and available when your regular GP is closed.

GP Access After Hours operates via a phone triage and appointment system. Our service is staffed with around 180 qualified local General Practitioners (GP's) and a team of Registered Nurses (RN's), Receptionists and other clinical staff. For routine and non-urgent care, you should make an appointment to see your regular GP in business hours.

GP Access provides bulk-billed services for eligible consultations. Our services include a clinic based face-to-face appointment or where appropriate, a Telehealth consultation. GP Access staff will discuss eligibility/ineligibility for a Telehealth consultation at the time of the telephone triage. A fee will be charged if a patient does not meet the eligibility requirements set by Medicare and proceeds with a Telehealth consultation.

We are members of the Pride in Health + Wellbeing program and are proud to offer our services in an inclusive and culturally safe environment.
