Sale College was successful in being selected to participate in the Victorian Government’s Doctors in Secondary Schools program. Sale College is lucky enough to have a Nurse and a GP (general practitioner) from Inglis Street Medical Centre attend both campuses every Wednesday morning.  The Doctor operates from the portable building behind the gym at Guthridge campus from 9:00am – 12:00pm and from Macalister Campus 1:00pm – 3:00pm to provide free access to primary health care for secondary students at our school. The GP provides students with the same services as the kind normally provided by GPs in the community, including seeing students about their physical and mental health, and sexual and reproductive health issues. GPs may also make referrals to other health services as required. The GP will bulk bill consultations through Medicare, so there will be no out-of-pocket expenses for this service for your family. 

This program is not designed to replace any existing medical arrangements your family may have in place. The GP in the school can provide a convenient alternative to primary care within school hours, and encourage health care access to those students without an existing relationship with a GP. The program is intended to provide better access to primary care for secondary school students. 

If you would like to make an appointment please call or text 0437 513 410 or contact either campus front office.
