Information

All consultations are made by appointment. Please phone 6496 3322 to make your appointment. Please let the reception staff know if you require urgent attention, or if you need additional time for your consultation. If you are unable to obtain an appointment with your GP of choice we will advise you of other GP's availability.

Accidents and emergencies take precedence over routine appointments. Should it be necessary for an urgent case to be seen before your scheduled appointment, please be patient.

If you are a regular patient of the Clinic and you require urgent attention outside of surgery hours, one of our doctors is on 24-hour call. Please phone the surgery on 6496 3322 and you will be instructed on how to contact the on-call GP.

 In an emergency, please call 000. Alternatively, proceed directly to South East Regional Hospital, Bega for emergency care. You can also contact Health Direct for advice and information on 1800 022 222.

Home visits can be arranged for regular patients of our Clinic who are unable to attend the Clinic due to medical reasons. Please speak to reception.

Dr Kallinen is fluent in Finnish, Swedish, Spanish and German, he also speaks a little Indonesian and Japanese. Our practice can also provide access to a translating and interpreter service if required.

You can contact your doctor during surgery hours by telephone. However, a message will generally be taken if the Doctor is with a patient. Urgent calls will be attended to immediately. We prefer not to communicate through email as security and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.

Repeat prescriptions are not routinely issued without a consultation except in emergency situations. A review is generally required when a further prescription is necessary.

Your Doctor will advise you when they expect your results to arrive at the practice. Please follow up your results and call the Clinic to arrange a suitable time, as required, to discuss these results.

Curalo Medical Clinic is committed to preventative health care. Your Doctor will seek permission for you to be included on our reminder system. We may issue you with a reminder notice, SMS or phone call from time to time offering you preventative health services appropriate to your care. Please advise us if you do not wish to be included in this initiative.
