Illawarra Aged Care GPs use phone, fax, web enquiry, email, clinical software and secure messaging to send and receive information. All information received is reviewed by the treating GP the same or next business day.
We endeavour to reply to all phone messages, faxes and emails within 2 business days of receiving them.
General enquiries regarding medical care of aged care residents should be communicated to the registered nurse on duty at the aged care facility. These will then be communicated to the GP by nursing staff.
