Our mission is to care


Doctors consulting at Sheehans have a common mission:  to look after your health.  Whether you're an existing patient, or a new patient, the commitment is to listen to you with empathy and respect; to investigate your issues with diligence; and to take the responsibility of looking after you very seriously.

 

After surviving another period of extreme staff shortage, we are pleased to announce that we can once again take on new patients.  Please enquire at reception or book online.

 

 

 

Important notice

 

If you have an emergency (eg. chest pain or extreme shortness of breath) you should ring 000 and request ambulance.

 

If you have a respiratory infection, please book a telehealth appointment.  Alternatively, if you need to see the doctor face to face, please remain in your car when you arrive, and call 98771200 to check into our system.  The doctor will call you when it's your turn to be seen.

 

When you enter the clinic, please check your temperature and sanitize your hands at reception.  To help reduce risks, air purifiers are installed in every room to cover the entire indoor space of the clinic.  Mask-wearing is appreciated (but not mandated) inside the clinic.  

 

 

 

COVID vaccines are available

 

As COVID infection continues to be a real threat, it's recommended that patients 75 years and older receive a COVID booster every 6 months, whilst those between the age of 65 and 74 years old receive a booster every 12 months.  For patients younger than this age, it's recommended that those with severe immunocompromise also receive a booster every 12 months.

 

COVID vaccination is available at Sheehans every Monday and Thursday.  You can make an appointment to get vaccinated here
