Practice Description

Interchange Health Co-op Tuggeranong does not exist to maximize profits. Our doctors see their role as a vocation. Their first priority is their patients.

Interchange Health Co-op is quite different. We continue the approach to patient care that we inherited from Interchange General Practice – care which made it a by-word in Canberra for the very best kind of general practice.

One of the best measures of the quality of a general practice is the time doctors spend with their patients. The Australian average is 14 minutes and often much less in some bulk-billing medical centres.

Interchange Health Co-op consultations average between 20-25 minutes. This means our doctors really listen and try to understand what it is you need from them at your consultations.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no short consultations. If the patient needs a sick certificate or follow up on a blood test or something for a cold, they can be in and out in five minutes.
