Our team consists of highly skilled doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and reception staff who are dedicated to delivering compassionate and confidential healthcare. We take pride in offering a wide range of services to cater to the diverse needs of our patients.

Please note that while we strive to provide excellent care, there may be additional fees for certain services in our treatment room. These fees cover the specialized care provided by our nurses, including dressings, wound care, and other procedures. Rest assured, you will be informed of any fees in advance.

We also want to inform you that appointments before 8am, after 5pm, and all Saturday appointments will be privately billed. This policy applies to all patients, and we appreciate your understanding.

Diabetes is a prevalent health concern, and we urge you not to ignore its symptoms. A type 2 diabetes test takes only a minute, so we encourage you to talk to your doctor and get checked. Early detection and management can help prevent complications.

Bowel cancer is another serious issue affecting many Australians. Each week, 300 individuals are diagnosed with bowel cancer. However, regular bowel screening, plenty of fiber in your diet, and discussing any concerns with your doctor can greatly reduce the risk. We are here to support you in taking proactive steps towards your health.

Managing appointments has never been easier with our convenient online system. You can make and manage appointments, add them to your calendar, check-in, and even see your position in the queue. We aim to streamline the process and make healthcare more accessible for you.

Our team of doctors comes from diverse backgrounds and has undergone advanced skills training, with a particular interest in rural and regional medicine. Dr. Saravolac, Dr. Hayem, Dr. Forster, and Dr. Yong are just a few of the highly qualified professionals you will find at our center. They bring their expertise and passion for healthcare to ensure you receive the best possible care.

At Ochre Medical Centre Wyalla, we are committed to creating a fulfilling work environment for our staff based on mutual respect, teamwork, and professionalism. We believe that investing in our team, systems, and technology allows us to empower our doctors and improve local healthcare while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Please note that starting from 1 October 2023, we will be participating in the MyMedicare program. This program aims to strengthen the relationship between you and our center, ensuring a seamless healthcare experience.

Asthma affects nearly three million Australians, and we understand the impact it can have on your daily life. Breathing difficulties and lung damage are serious concerns. If you or a loved one are living with asthma, please don't hesitate to seek medical advice and support from our experienced team.

Lastly, we want to remind you that wearing masks or face coverings is still recommended in our practice, especially during flu season. If you have any cold or flu symptoms, we encourage you to book a telehealth appointment (phone or video) rather than visiting in person. If a face-to-face appointment is necessary, please wear a mask or provide a negative RAT test. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the current resource constraints and appreciate your understanding and support.
