Stethoscope and magnifying glass on laptopWelcome to Abbott Medical Clinic. No, it’s not in Abbott Street! The practice started there in the 1940’s and moved to Stockland Shopping Centre, Earlville in 1997. We have now moved from Stockland  to a bigger and better  facility at 3/473 Mulgrave Road as of 1st April 2016.

The doctors at Abbott Medical clinic offer a full range of medical services for all ages. We see patients from the local area and from the wider Cairns community.

Most of the doctors bulk bill for Aged Pension card holders, Healthcare card holders, and children 16 and under. Students may be billed at a discount.

You should always be able to see a doctor on the day of your choice, although your preferred doctor may not be available. You are welcome to see one of our other doctors on the day and continue with your regular doctor.

A telephone interpreting service is available. Please advise if you will need an interpreter.

Online booking is here 24/7 for your convenience. Just click on the button in the top right corner.

In a life threatening emergency please call the ambulance on triple zero – “000”.  Examples are chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding and loss of consciousness.

Our practice has a Facebook page. Patients are advised not to leave messages related to medical care on the Facebook site as it is not monitored daily by a Health Professional. Similarly, the practice can’t email patients regarding personal medical information. We value your privacy and email is not considered secure.

Our practice has a process in place for providing patients with preventative care. Reminders are conducted for various conditions and reasons such as Immunisations, Diabetic Care, Pap Smears, Test Reviews, Health Assessments and Care Plans for chronic disease management (All relevant reviews as indicated by GP). You may choose to opt out of the preventative health reminders.

Patients are required to return for a consultation to obtain test results, preferably with the doctor who ordered the tests.  If any results are abnormal and /or require urgent attention we will contact you.  To facilitate this, please make sure reception have your correct phone number and address details when booking or on settling your account.
