Medical Services in Brunswick
Lotus Medical Centre in Brunswick brings general practice, allied health, in-clinic procedures, ongoing care programs and skin cancer checks together under one roof, so your care stays connected instead of split across multiple locations.
One Location for GP, Allied Health and Specialist Care
Splitting your care across multiple clinics makes it easy for details to slip between appointments. Our GPs handle everyday consultations, chronic disease management and minor in-clinic procedures at Lotus Medical Centre, all coordinated with our allied health team on-site. Interpreter services are available for patients who need them.
Find the Right Service for Your Needs
We know a long list of services isn’t much use if you can’t tell what applies to you. That’s why we’ve grouped everything into four areas, each linking through to more detail on what’s actually involved.
Everyday consultations covering acute illness, women’s and men’s health, mental health support and chronic disease management. Same-day appointments are offered where possible, and your GP can coordinate referrals to a specialist or our allied health team as part of your visit.
Psychology, physiotherapy, podiatry, dietetics and osteopathy, all consulting from the same Brunswick location. Working alongside your GP, this team covers the kind of ongoing care a standard consultation doesn’t always have time for.
Minor in-clinic procedures, from wound care and mole removal to vaccinations and infusion therapies. Most are carried out on-site by your GP, so there’s usually no need for a separate referral or appointment elsewhere.
Ongoing support including chronic disease management plans, diabetes education and aged care planning, plus coordinated support for workplace and transport injuries. Home visits are also available for patients who find it harder to get into the clinic.
Spot checks, full-body skin examinations and lesion monitoring using dermoscope technology. Mole mapping is also available for higher-risk patients, tracking changes over time rather than relying on a single check.
Getting Seen Without the Runaround
Booking a medical appointment shouldn’t be the hardest part of getting help. Same-day GP appointments are offered where possible, and Medicare rebates are processed electronically, so you’re not left chasing paperwork after your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Referral to See a GP at Lotus Medical Centre?
No referral is needed for standard GP consultations, and you can book directly online or by phone. Referrals are only required if your GP refers you on to a specialist or certain allied health services, and your GP will let you know at the time if that applies to you.
Can I Book a Telehealth Appointment?
Telehealth is available for existing patients who've had a face-to-face consultation within the last 12 months, which keeps things eligible for a Medicare rebate. New patients can still book a telehealth appointment on a private-fee basis, and our reception team can talk you through what that involves before you book.
What Should I Bring to My First Appointment?
It helps to bring photo ID, your Medicare card, and a list of any current medications, along with any relevant test results or letters from previous providers if you have them. If you're not sure what else you might need, our reception team can talk you through it when you book.
Is Parking Available at the Clinic?
Yes, free parking is available on-site, which can make things a little easier if you're coming straight from work or managing a busy family schedule. Public transport options are also nearby for patients who'd rather not drive.
Can I See a GP and an Allied Health Professional on the Same Day?
Often, yes, depending on availability across both services. Let our reception team know what you're hoping to cover when you book, and they'll do their best to coordinate a visit that covers everything in one trip.
The information above is general in nature and isn’t a substitute for personalised advice. Please speak with your GP to discuss what’s appropriate for your specific situation.
