Home Visits

Your Health Griffith does not routinely offer home visits as part of our normal services. If there are extenuating circumstances where you believe a patient may require a home visit from one of our doctors, please call the practice and provide reception staff with as much explanatory details as possible.

​

The following criteria must be met for home visit:

  • The patient is a regular patient of this practice

  • The patient resides in a location that is within fifteen (15) kilometres of the practice

  • Where it is deemed safe and reasonable

  • The patient has the type of problem that necessitates a home visit such as:

    • Acutely ill

    • Immobile

    • Elderly

    • No means of transport

    • Unable to access the practice facilities due to disability

    • Palliative Care patients

    • Terminally Ill patients
       

This information will be passed along to the treating doctor who will exercise their discretion regarding the matter. If the doctor determines that a home visit is possible, there may be an out of pocket expense for the patient. The patient will be notified of this expense prior to the home visit consultation.
