We are committed to providing exceptional healthcare services to our community. In our continuous efforts to improve our services and enhance client experiences, we participated in the 2023 Voice of the Patient Survey conducted by Insync, an RACGP accredited patient satisfaction survey. This survey aimed to capture the insights and experiences of our Medical Services Clients, shedding light on both our successes and areas for improvement.
What we are doing well:
- Interpersonal Skills of Clinical Staff : One of our greatest strengths is the ability of our clinical staff to provide a welcoming and comfortable environment for our clients. Scoring 81%, we exceeded Insync’s benchmarked score of 75%, emphasising the compassionate care and connection our clinical team establishes with our patients.
- Communication and Interpersonal Skills of Admin Staff (80%): Acknowledging the vital role our administrative staff plays in the patient experience, we received an 80% score, again highlighting the welcoming and safe environment we work hard to create.

- Timeliness of Services (20%): We understand the importance of timely services, and the survey revealed an opportunity for improvement in this area. With a score of 20%, below Insync’s benchmarked score of 36%, we are committed to enhancing the efficiency of our services by implementing new systems and addressing inefficiencies.
