Welcome to North East Family Medicine
Opening Hours
Monday – Friday: 9.00 am – 5.30 pm
How do I get my results?
We prefer that patients book an appointment with their doctor to discuss their results. However if you have a question, there is a practice nurse available between 1pm and 2pm to discuss results.
Current UV
Don’t forget, when the UV is 3 or over, make sure you remember to slip! slop! slap! seek! slide!
You're all seeing what I'm seeing - new cases, new exposure sites and a new strain of this virus that is wildly infectious.
You probably already know what we need to do next.
Victoria will not wait to act. We know that not much good comes from waiting.
Waiting could see more people infected and the number of exposure sites explode.
If we act now – while we're right on the heels of this outbreak – we can give ourselves every chance of getting ahead of it.
If we wait – we lose that option.
On the advice of Victorian Chief Health Officer we are announcing that Victoria will go into lockdown from 11:59pm on Thursday 15 of July 2021.
I know you know the drill:
There are five reasons to leave your home.
You can get the food and the supplies you need.
You can exercise - for up to two hours, and no more than 5kms from your home.
You can provide care or caregiving.
You can attend authorised work or education if you can't do it from home.
And you can go to get vaccinated at the nearest possible location.
These restrictions will be in place for five days.
The list of authorised workers is available online and I'll post a link below. To keep it simple, if you were a authorised worker during the last lockdown, you'll be a authorised worker this time around. Everyone else must work from home.
Last night we announced that face masks must be worn indoors at all times (except at home) and now we're also asking you to wear face masks outdoors at all times – just like the last lockdown.
We know this virus didn't start here in Victoria. And we know that if people followed the rules around face masks, we might not be in this situation today.
So please, do the right thing and wear a face mask at all times.
For those that have returned home from NSW - you must follow the requirements of your permit.
That means going straight home to quarantine for 14 days and only leaving home to get tested.
If you need help getting the food and supplies you need to quarantine at home you can call the coronavirus hotline. Like usual, I'll pop the details in the comments.
We are all counting on each other to do the right thing.
To keep our families, our businesses and our community safe.
And so we can get back to the things we love, as soon as we can.
We would like to take a second to recognise and thank our Admin team; Mark, Alana, Zoe, Angie, Rochelle, Keira and Bella. They have been working tirelessly throughout the entire Covid Outbreak supporting our doctors and nurses while still managing to provide compassionate, caring and efficient superstar service during these trying times.
Lately there have been a number of concerning interactions of abuse towards our staff, with regards to our screening process, our appointment availabilities or the Covid vaccine rollout and any information regarding this. This is not appropriate and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
We here at NEFM have always prided ourselves on recognising and acting on the threat of this pandemic early and decisively and our pandemic policies will remain in place until further notice.
We ask that you please understand that they are just doing their jobs and playing an important part in keeping us all safe.
The article below provides an insight into what our team goes through.

They are very professional but at the same time very caring. No excuse for anyone to be being abusive or aggressive towards them. They are doing their best and people need to calm down a little bit. Thank you to all the staff at NEFM.
The staff at North East Family Medicine are wonderful and very caring.
They do a wonderful job!
Your staff have always been very friendly and helpful to myself and my elderly father when I take him in for his consult. Thank you for this. 🌹
Your staff are amazing and do not, like any staff anywhere, deserve to be treated in a hostile manner. People entering businesses need to grow up and accept that life as we once knew it, has drastically changed. The sooner they realise this, the quicker we can hopefully move on from covid.
Verbal abuse goes both ways & I would hope that all members of your team do not use their level of power to intimidate or belittle clients going into a consult
Your admin staff are always polite respectful and helpful. 👍
Always very helpful and courteous 💐
Always very helpful😊
Dr Sean is spending the day with the Murray Bushrangers on this cold winter day. NEFM is proud to work with the Bushrangers. We hope that you all have a great weekend on the field or court for your teams!

Please be aware, there is a high level of calls for Covid-19 testing. See the note from NEHW about getting a test.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.So for the last video for mental health week, Dr Chris is going to look at ways we can maintain our mental health and where to find help if you need it.
