Healthcare should never feel like a one-and-done transaction.
We’ll often arrange a follow-up to make sure everything’s on track and healing well, especially for the little ones as their condition can change so quickly.
We are ready when you need us to handle a range of non-life threatening conditions including:
fevers, respiratory conditions and gastro.
breaks, sprains, tears and wounds.
superficial burns.
While our medical and nursing teams all have extensive emergency department experience, if you do have a medical emergency such breathing difficulties, uncontrolled bleeding, the patient is seizing or unconscious- please call 000 for immediate ambulance assistance.
To ensure we can provide a consistent, high level of urgent care services, we have limited the scope of what we do.
We don't provide:
mental health or substance abuse support.
vocational related services such as pre-employment testing.
workers compensation or vehicle insurance claims.
Children's and adolescent mental health is an area that needs significantly more resources across the entire state. We will continue to review how we may be able to be part of the solution in the future.
Kinkaya Urgent Care is the first clinic of it's kind in WA.
We have designed the facilities and attracted a medical and nursing team with extensive experience to specifically deliver excellent care for young people.
We will of course assist anyone in need who presents at Kinkaya, however our experience is specifically geared towards kids and young adults.
In general no. This is because a child's assessment is much different to an adult.
Kids, especially very young ones, aren't very good at explaining their symptoms so we need to use a lot more objective tests and observations to assess their condition which at this stage needs to be done in-person.
Their condition can also change rapidly in a short period of time so we like to keep kids in our care while treating them.
We do use phone and Telehealth as part of our follow up processes.
Our initial appointment cost starts from $195.00 including:
Consultation and treatment plan development.
On-site X-Ray & Pathology services.
Basic medications.
In-clinic or Telehealth follow up.
There are no weekend or public holiday surcharges and Medicare Card holders will receive any relevant rebates related to the services delivered as part of your initial consult.
Most follow-up reviews are bulk billed, meaning no additional cost to you.
Some simple reviews can be completed via Telehealth, but we often like to see patients in person, especially younger children as their condition can change rapidly in a short period of time.
If your follow-up is more complex or takes longer than 20 minutes, additional fees may apply. We will always explain any costs before anything happens.
On completion of your initial treatment, we will let you know about follow up needs.
