I need to book a GP appointment for something I know will take more than 10 minutes, but my GP doesn’t allow booking long appointments through the website, you have to call them. I try to call and have to sit through a lecture about how much easier it is to book and the app, if you’re having an emergency, call 000, etc etc. finally get to the options menu (you can’t key ahead…) and get redirected to where I need to go and…
"Your position in queue is: 23. Your estimated wait time is: 50 minutes. Even if you call 3 minutes after they open, it’s somehow a 10 person long queue with 15 minute wait times. Like whyyyyy dude
Mines not even entirely bulk billed. They do bulk bill kids and people with health care cards, though. But otherwise they’re charging like $100 per 10 minutes, it’s ridiculous.
