Welcome
We welcome new patients and existing patients. Country Med Group is the oldest long-established medical centre in the entire Cootamundra region, proudly looking after the community for over 45 years across several generations.
Whatever the need, we are here for our community 7 days a week including weekends — our doctors are locally settled and living in Cootamundra permanently.
We offer a close and personalised health care experience, with many services depending on your needs. Alongside experienced lady doctors, we have a friendly and dedicated team.
We also provide Allied Health services which are all bulk billed, including two in-house highly experienced psychologists and one audiologist. We are actively working to bring more doctors and allied health services to Cootamundra.
It is very important to seek professional advice if you are having any problems with your health.
No cash or drugs of dependence are kept on the premises.
About
The doctors and staff strive to ensure that each contact with patients and service provided is handled in a professionally efficient and yet friendly and courteous manner. We are committed to striving for continued improvement in our delivery of medical and administrative service, and in doing so, aim to establish and maintain close and long-standing relationships with our patients and service providers.
Country Med Group provides all supplies, staff and administrative support services, leaving our doctors the sole task of treating and caring for their patients.
People
What we offer
We also serve patients from Cootamundra, Gundagai, Temora, Harden, Junee, Jugiong and Young.
Fees
Non-attendance of a booked consultation with less than 4hrs notice of cancellation will incur a non-attendance fee of $30.00, which will be payable before another appointment is made. If you are running late please advise reception via phone ASAP.
Note: Failure to attend three or more appointments will result in no further appointments being made for you.
Accounts for emergency consultations can be organised for a single appointment but must be paid in full prior to any further appointments being attended.
Standard wound care $10.00 per visit to assist with the cost of dressings. Complex wound care $20.00 per visit. Wounds requiring advanced clinical treatment — costs will be discussed with the patient prior to the commencement of treatment.
We endeavour to keep to appointment schedules. Sometimes the doctor or nurses may have an emergency, which can affect waiting times. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for being patient.
Our practice policy for phone access to a doctor or nurse is that you leave a message with reception and at the end of the day they will return your call. If the matter is urgent, reception will send a message marked urgent and they will get back to you as soon as possible.
Home visits are for seriously ill patients and need to be booked in advance and previously discussed with your GP. Please ask our receptionist if you would like the doctor to do a home visit.
Some additional services (such as wound dressings) may attract a small supply fee as listed above. Please ask reception if you are unsure.
Contact
When making your appointment please advise reception if you have paperwork that needs to be completed or a specific type of appointment. Our reception staff are trained in triage and will book appointments according to clinical need.
Preferred: Download the My Clinic App from the App Store or Google Play first. Once installed, open it and enter clinic code CMGLQ to connect with Country Med Group. Register once as a patient, then you can book and manage appointments in the app.
Appointments can also be made via the Book Online button, or by calling reception.
You may request to see the doctor of your choice; however for continuity of medical treatment we encourage you to see the same doctor on each occasion when available.
Please advise our reception staff if more than one family member intends to see the doctor as we will need to reserve additional time for you.
Longer appointments are available for complex issues upon request.
We do try to have some emergency spots available each day and attempt to accommodate all urgent cases. However, your usual doctor may not be available.
For test results that your GP has ordered, please make an appointment to discuss your results. Privacy issues prevent over-the-phone discussions of results.
