Medical Centre On-Site Nursing

Both practices at Byron Bay and Darlinghurst locations have self-contained, on-site practice nursing departments so that as a patient, you can spend your consultation time entirely with your doctor. If you require pathology samples to be collected as part of your appointment, one of our practice nurses will do this once you have completed your consultation. Our nursing departments also provide secluded areas for distressed patients who wish to wait for their doctor under the care of a nurse.

Medical Centre On-Site X-Ray Department

For your convenience, Darlinghurst X-Ray is located one level below Holdsworth House Medical Practice in the same building.

Bulk Billing Doctors

Both Byron Bay and Darlinghurst sites of Holdsworth House Medical Practice are private medical clinics, but some of our doctors also offer bulk billing under certain circumstances. There is greater flexibility in appointment scheduling with private billing doctors. When making an appointment, please let the reception know if you wish to see a bulk billing doctor. Please note: Our doctors will accommodate bulk billing requests as much as possible, however bulk billing may not always be available.
