Private medical assessments
Private medicals in Rutherford, with fees confirmed upfront.
Insurance, employment, driver licence and fitness assessments with a thorough, professional approach. Fees apply, and reception will confirm the cost first.
Medicals for work, insurance and driving.
Private medical assessments are health checks requested by an employer, insurer, licensing authority or other organisation. Our GPs complete these thoroughly and in line with the requirements of the organisation that asked for them.
These assessments are not covered by Medicare, so a private fee applies. Reception will confirm the fee before your appointment. Rutherford Doctors is on Hillview Street, Rutherford, with onsite pathology.
