When you have a blood test, or any other kind of test, your results will be sent to the clinic where you are enrolled. 

If the results are normal, you will not be notified. If they are not normal, the clinic will phone you and discuss next steps. If you have a ManageMyHealth patient portal, you can find your results in there, once your doctor has reviewed and filed them. Or, if after two or three days, you are concerned about your results, you can call the clinic to find out.

If you attend a White Cross clinic that offers GP services and appointments, you can book with a certain doctor.

Also, on our clinics pages, you can see who is on duty each day. That means if it is a walk-in clinic you may be able to see your doctor of choice, but we cannot guarantee it. They may be seeing other patients when it is your turn to have a consultation.

Some clinics have ample parking, while others not so much. Please visit your nearest clinic’s page to find out more. We’ll also let you know if a clinic is close to public transport.

Most people in this country have to wait to see their doctor! That’s because people have different health needs and how long it takes to get the right help can be very unpredictable.

Urgent care is walk-in only. The most seriously ill people are seen first. The really good news is that you can now see on the clinic website pages what the expected wait time is at that clinic! That means you can find another clinic near to you with a shorter wait time, if need be.

If you are enrolled at one of our White Cross GP service clinics, yes, you can ask for an immunisation certificate from the nurse. We record all the immunisations you get at our clinics in your notes and we add other vaccinations from records you share with us. If you are enrolled with ManageMyHealth, your immunisation records will also appear in there.
