Earlwood Medical Centre was founded in 2014 as the founding centre of the SMSG group, and has been part of Sydney's health landscape ever since. It's our flagship location and where you'll find the widest cross-section of the SMSG team, with family GPs, visiting specialists, and the full allied health group all consulting under one roof.

Whether you're new to the area, looking for a doctor who speaks your language, or after specialist care you'd otherwise need a hospital referral for, Earlwood is the location that can most likely accommodate. It's also the only SMSG centre that opens on Saturdays, which makes it the go-to for anyone working weekdays, for parents catching up on children's appointments outside of school hours, and for patients coming in from further afield.

Our team at Earlwood

Family GPs, specialists, allied health, coordinated.

Family GPs, visiting specialists and a full allied health team, all working from the same file so your care stays joined up.

Family GPs

Family GPs, many languages.

Our GPs at Earlwood are independent practitioners delivering their own care from the Earlwood premises, and several cross-book with Bangor or Sans Souci, so if your regular clinician isn't in on the day, someone else on the team will have your file open and ready. Between them the team speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Malay, Arabic, Dutch, Sinhalese, Taiwanese, Hokkien and Hakka. If you'd prefer a GP who speaks your first language, our reception team can help you match.

Visiting specialists

Excelsia physicians and surgeons, no city trip.

Earlwood is our largest specialist hub. Excelsia consultants hold visiting clinics with us across a range of multi-disciplinary specialties. You can see many specialists here without needing a hospital referral queue or a trip into the city, and a GP referral is required for the Medicare rebate on specialist consultations.

Allied health

Rehab, mental health, nutrition and more.

Our Earlwood allied health team supports physical rehabilitation, mental health, nutrition and podiatry through Medicare-registered practitioners. You can see them independently or on a GP referral for chronic disease management.

Fees and billing

Clear on cost before you book.

Bulk billing

Billing at Earlwood follows a mixed-billing model. Our registrar GPs and some of our specialist GPs bulk-bill routine standard consultations, and ongoing patients seen within the last twelve months are typically bulk-billed for routine visits. Health assessments and GP Chronic Condition Management Plans are usually bulk-billed. Other appointment types are generally privately billed, with Medicare rebate applying to eligible services and leaving a gap payment. Fees vary by practitioner, since each clinician sets their own billing arrangement as an independent practitioner. Individual billing details are on each clinician's profile page, and reception confirms your specific fee and out-of-pocket when you book.

Group fee schedule
