Medical Centre

Appointments can be made at any time of the day via phone/answer machine or email. You will normally be able to book an appointment on the day you call, particularly if your health issue requires urgent attention. Home visits are available for Dr William Redmayne's regular clients who are unable to attend the medical practice because of their medical condition. Home visits, including those for people in Aged Care Facilities, are regularly done by Dr Redmayne either during or after practice hours. Home visits can be organised via calling our receptionist. A 15km radius of Cessnock is the usual limit for home visits but longer distances can be catered for at the Doctors discretion. If you need to see a Doctor when the practice is closed then please ring 02 4990 2533 and listen to the recorded message, detailing the name and contact details for the Doctor one call, AND/OR go directly to CESSNOCK HOSPITAL 02 4991 0555 and nursing staff will organise for you to see the GP on call.
