Our Services

Shifa Medical Centre provides comprehensive general practice care for individuals and families across Melbourne. From everyday consultations to long-term chronic disease support, our team is here to help you manage your health at every stage of life.

Whole-person primary care, all in one place

As a fully accredited general practice, we offer a broad range of medical services under one roof. Our GPs take the time to listen, assess and plan — whether you are visiting us for a short consultation, an ongoing condition or a routine health check.

We welcome new patients, families, seniors and concession card holders, and we work closely with specialists, pathologists, pharmacists and allied health providers throughout Melbourne VIC to make sure your care is properly coordinated.

How it works — your visit, step by step

A simple, predictable process so you always know what to expect at Shifa Medical Centre.

  1. 1

    Request an appointment

    Use our online booking form or email our reception team to request a time that suits you. Tell us briefly what the visit is about so we can allocate the right appointment length.

  2. 2

    Prepare for your visit

    Arrive a few minutes early with your Medicare card, identification and a current list of medications. New patients complete a short registration form on arrival.

  3. 3

    Your consultation

    Your GP will listen to your concerns, examine where needed, and explain your diagnosis and options in plain language. Nothing happens without your informed consent.

  4. 4

    Care plan and next steps

    You leave with a clear plan — prescriptions, pathology requests, referrals or a management plan — all documented in your patient record for continuity of care.

  5. 5

    Follow-up and reminders

    Our reception team contacts you about test results and recall reminders, and books any follow-up reviews your GP recommends.

Fees and billing

We offer a mix of bulk-billed and private-billed services depending on the type of appointment and your eligibility. Our reception team can confirm fees for your specific visit before you attend, and we process Medicare rebates on the spot where applicable. Concession card holders and children under 16 are bulk-billed for standard consultations.
