Make an appointment

At our family practice, we are a close-knit community; a collection of industry-leading physicians, nurses, and administrative staff who are trained to the highest professional standards. Our team possess a wealth of education and experience garnered over many diverse histories to collectively deliver an extensive range of specialised medical services.

We want you to be comfortable when visiting our medical centre and are pleased to provide our patients with an immaculate and stylish facility that caters to your every need, resulting in the optimal patient experience.

Alongside Clinical Director Dr. Shane Morley and Family Practice Administrator Arianne Morley (a true family affair), all our physicians, nurses and administrative staff endeavour to produce a convivial and welcoming environment, shaped by clinical excellence and outstanding customer service.

We understand life isn’t always straight forward – time, family, last-minute emergencies, these things happen – but we’ll do our best to make it as easy as possible for you and your family. That’s why with Rokeby GP, a trip to the doctors has never been more convenient.

Rest comfortably: you’re in safe hands.

Please provide a minimum of 2 hours notice if you are unable to attend your appointment. We can relocate your appointment to someone on our waiting list.

If an appointment is missed or reception is not adequately notified a late or non cancellation administration charge will apply.

Reduced Waiting Time

We place a strong emphasis on reducing waiting times to an absolute minimum for all our patients, and have developed policies to best achieve this convenience. Through years of experimentation, we have whittled the practice’s average waiting time down to approximately seven minutes.

Our wait time-management procedures are as follows:

When booking an appointment our reception staff will assist you in booking the right amount of time, and the right service to tend to your concerns. Any extra information provided regarding the nature of your appointment, whether it be for travel, drivers medical, mental health etc., will assist us in making the correct booking for your visit.
Our regular appointments are generally short consultations of up to fifteen minutes (relating to one or two concerns) or long consultations (three or more concerns, complex matters, travel, or mental health).

We pride ourselves on reducing our wait times for all our patients. With this in mind, we advise booking an appropriate length appointment tailored to your query/queries.

Standard appointment (up to 15 minutes)
Long appointments (longer than 15 minutes)

Standard appointments cover 1-2 minor health concerns only.

Long appointments – 3 or more health concerns, complex health problems, and mental health appointments.

Phone Calls and Phone Consultations

Our physicians do not conduct nor receive phone calls during consultations. If your concerns are urgent, please advise the receptionist as to the nature of your enquiry, and the information will be forwarded to your physician forthwith.

Telephone appointments are readily available by appointment only. Our fees for phone consults are time based and are equivalent to our face to face consultation.
