Welcome to Your Doctors
We are a General Practice assisting patients in the Inner West of
Sydney. Our goal is to provide an unparalleled standard of patient care.
Your
Doctors continues to offer the full range of services to our patients.
We are committed to providing the highest level of care available
during the current Covid-19 (Coronavirus) crisis. In order to provide
safe care by minimising the number of patients in the practice at any
one time, we offer telehealth consultations in the first instance to anyone showing cold or flu-like symptoms.
Patients will be assessed and triaged, to see if you can come
into the practice for a face-to-face consultation.
Current news
COVID-19 Situation update (as at 31st July 2020)
NSW Health recommends that anyone with symptoms gets tested at a COVID-19 clinic. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore/scratchy throat, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, or unexplained fever. You should self-isolate until you get your results. With the exception of workers in high-risk clinical settings, there is no requirement for testing asymptomatic people before returning to work. The latest COVID-19 case locations in NSW can be viewed here.
As of Monday 3rd August, all patients who are 12 years of age or older, MUST wear a face mask before entering the practice. If the patient is younger than 12 AND has any cold/flu symptoms, the patient must wear a face mask before entering the practice. Toddlers under 2 years of age and babies must not wear masks, which are a choking and suffocation risk.
Please watch this NSW Health video on how to wear a mask correctly
Your mask should cover your nose and mouth.
Your mask should fit securely around your face (that is snugly under your chin, over the bridge of your nose and against the sides of your face).

Telehealth consultations
Telehealth refers to the provision of a consultation over a telephone
or video call. Our clinical team will be able to discuss your issues
and develop an effective management plan with you. They can utilise a
variety of communication strategies to ensure we provide you the best
care possible - email, video call, photo sharing via email. You can request a standard or long telehealth consultation. If
appropriate, the team may organise for you to come into the practice for
a face-to-face review.
Face-to-Face Consultations.
At Your Doctors we recognise that not everything can be done via
telehealth. For many procedures and consultations we will continue to
offer face-to-face consultations (eg Immunisations and Cervical
Screening). Please discuss your situation with our team when
booking your appointment. It may be necessary to book a telehealth
consultation first, with provisions made to bring you in afterwards. It is important that if you develop any respiratory symptoms after you made your appointment booking, please notify our reception staff prior to coming in to the practice.
Online booking system
To
ensure the health and safety of our patients, staff and others at the
workplace, we have temporarily turned off all online appointment
bookings. In order to facilitate effective triage, please phone one of
our practices to make an appointment. Your co-operation and patience
during this screening process is greatly appreciated and we apologise
for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are still recommending all patients receive the seasonal influenza vaccination.
