Hello Inverloch,
The current Telstra outage will be impacting many of our patients this morning.
The clinic phones are not affected but text message reminders for appts, e-script delivery and other outgoing messages may be not be received.
Hopefully this will sorted out shortly.
Take care.

Telstra customers, as well as customers of mobile providers that use Telstra's network, have flooded outage detection websites with reports.

Hello Inverloch,
You will now all be aware of the sudden closure of Leongatha Healthcare. As a result we have had to close our hocdoc booking platform temporarily. For our existing patients, please call the clinic or pop in to make an appt. This will be back up in coming days.
We are working with all the other GP clinics locally on supporting the Leongatha community and ensuring that care can be provided to patients.
We do have limited availablity for new patients with Dr Scott Freeman and Dr Martn Hodgson. Please call the clinic to enquire.
This is a very stressful time for our broader comunity and we ask for patience and kindness from all as our phones are working overtime.
