Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Co

Very thorough health service for indigenous people. However it is very hard to been seen on short notice or if you have a minor or acute illness or a Doctors certificate. I've been on cancellation list for 5 days so far just for a Doctors certificate for pre existing condition. Very frustrating!

With what I have been through lately with my daughter's, I would been in such a dark place right now. They have just about everything that is needed for a family in a crisis. From Drs to Child Physc to Dentist to Family Wellbeing to even getting us to and from our appointments. You guys do a wonderful job and probably aren't thanked enough from families or the community who use these services. Thank you for everything even the wonderful people in reception.

Didn't even get a chance. I've been having issues for a while with pain in my stomach. I thought I could try this centre. My fiance called on behalf of me because I've been so sick and I'm in pain. The receptionist asked if I was aboriginal or Torre straight islander, he told her I was aboriginal, she put him on hold for 5 minutes and comes backs and says we don't take non indigenous patients. He tells her for the second time, well she is indigenous. " Oh well, we aren't taking new patients until August" you would think being an indigenous centre you'd would offer an alternative instead of shooing away indigenous people. Rude as. I genuinely thought I was going to get some proper help and be treated as a person but nope. Disrespectful as.

I don't go here any more... Even though I'm indigenous, I prefer main stream due to Straightforward appointments, You book an appointment at a Mainstream Doctors and you get seen on time, You book a doctors appointment at ATSICHS Wooloongabba and your sitting around for 2hours just to be seen even though there'd only be 2 other patients waiting.. I agree with other reviews on here as well, It's a long wait just to book an appointment. Do yourselves a favour and go to mainstream until ATSICHS pulls their socks up 🤷🏾‍♀️

Doctor damaged my finger with inappropriate use of liquid nitrogen. My once healthy functional finger is now in constant pain and can not bend as far as it once could at the knuckle. Even some 8 weeks of healing. Doctor Hannah did not use focused liquid nitrogen to make less area of tissue damage, even though it was available for her to use. I know this in hindsight from staff I've spoken to at clinic since. One doctor said I have secondary infection, I had to buy antibiotic cream that has done nothing. More time, more expense, more pain and permanent damage and scarring. I have put in complaint with staff and in writing and have had no contact from practice manager or any solution offered to me. Wish I never went there for this simple procedure. Small wart removal on my finger. Should have done at home with chemist medicine but made the mistake of trusting this GP. She did not get informed consent from me, I did not realise the damage it would create to healthy tissue, the pain, the scarring, the lose of mobility at the finger joint. Unacceptable yet I have to just accept this malpractice and gross incompetence.
