At Smith Street Medical, we are committed to making healthcare access clear, safe, and reliable for every patient who interacts with our clinics, website, booking systems, and digital services. Whether you are booking an appointment, reading about our services, submitting an enquiry, or using our online resources, we want you to understand how to use our website and related services.
These Terms of Service explain how you may use the Smith Street Medical website and its digital features, including online booking links, contact forms, service information, and patient resources. They help protect patients, support safe communication, and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and clinic guidance.
Smith Street Medical provides general practice, skin cancer checks and management, women’s health, children’s health, immunisation, mental health care plans, health assessments, telehealth appointments, quick consults, aged care support, work injury care, and other healthcare services through our clinics in Charlestown, Kotara, Canberra, and any other Smith Street Medical locations listed on this website.
Information on this website is provided to help patients learn about our clinic, doctors, services, fees, locations, and appointment options. It does not replace medical advice from a qualified health professional.
Medical information on this website is provided for general information only. It is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or ongoing care from a qualified health practitioner. Reading content on this website, using our online forms, or submitting an enquiry does not create a doctor-patient relationship with Smith Street Medical.
If you have symptoms, health concerns, or need medical advice, please book an appointment with one of our GPs or contact the clinic directly. Our team can help guide you to the most appropriate appointment type, where possible.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call triple zero (000) immediately or attend the nearest emergency department.

You must not:
We may restrict or block access to the website if we believe it is being misused.
Our website may allow you to book appointments online or through third-party booking platforms.
Appointment availability is subject to doctor availability, clinic hours, service type, and clinical suitability. An appointment is not confirmed until it has been accepted or confirmed through the booking system or directly by the clinic.
When booking an appointment, you are responsible for providing accurate personal details, contact information, Medicare details where relevant, and any information needed to help us manage your appointment.
Some appointments may require a longer consultation, a face-to-face visit, or follow-up care. If you are unsure which appointment type to choose, please contact reception.
Smith Street Medical may offer telehealth appointments where clinically appropriate.
Telehealth may not be suitable for all medical concerns. A doctor may decide that a face-to-face consultation, physical examination, test, referral, or emergency care is required.
You are responsible for ensuring you have a suitable phone, internet connection, private environment, and correct contact details for your telehealth appointment.
Telehealth appointments should not be used for medical emergencies.
Quick consults, repeat prescriptions, referrals, medical certificates, and similar online requests are subject to clinical review.
Submitting a request does not guarantee that a prescription, referral, certificate, or other document will be issued. A GP may ask you to book an appointment if further information, examination, or clinical review is required.
Requests may only be processed during clinic hours and are not suitable for urgent medical problems.
Smith Street Medical is a mixed billing practice. Fees may apply for consultations and certain services.
Fees listed on the website are provided as a guide and may change from time to time. The final fee may depend on the consultation type, consultation length, service provided, Medicare eligibility, rebate availability, and individual circumstances.
Patients are responsible for paying any fees, out-of-pocket costs, cancellation fees, non-attendance fees, or third-party charges that apply.
Where Medicare rebates are available, the rebate amount is determined by Medicare and may vary depending on eligibility and service type.
Please contact the clinic as early as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
A cancellation or non-attendance fee may apply if you miss your appointment or cancel without sufficient notice. This helps us make appointments available to other patients who need care.
Cancellation and non-attendance fees may not be eligible for a Medicare rebate.
