After Hours

If you want to see an after hours GP, you can still see a GP in your own home. We recommend calling: Hello Home Doctor – this is 100% Bulk Billing for DVA or Medicare card holders.

Phone: 13 41 00 for Hello Home Doctor. 
 

Otherwise, the Doctors at Family Health Care Mackay Group are happy to see you during normal opening hours for all other appointments.

Urgent after hours assistance is available at the Emergency Department at Mackay Base Public Hospital. There is also the Mater Emergency After Hours Service located on Willets Road, North Mackay. This is a walk-in service only and fees apply.

In a medical emergency, please call 000 and ask for an ambulance.
