Feedback and Complaints

Your Feedback Helps Us Improve

We are committed to providing high-quality healthcare and delivering a positive experience for every patient who visits our practice. Feedback from our patients plays an important role in helping us understand what we are doing well and where we can continue to improve. Whether you would like to share a compliment, suggestion or concern, we welcome the opportunity to hear from you. By listening to our patients, we can continue strengthening our services, enhancing the patient experience and delivering healthcare that meets the needs of our community.

Our Commitment To Your Feedback

At Oakden Medical Centre, we believe patient feedback plays an important role in helping us continually improve the care and services we provide. Whether you would like to share a positive experience, provide a suggestion for improvement or raise a concern, we value the opportunity to hear from you. Our team is committed to treating all feedback respectfully, professionally and confidentially, while ensuring concerns are reviewed fairly and addressed in a timely manner where appropriate. Feedback relating to healthcare services, patient experiences, communication, facilities, appointment processes or general suggestions helps us identify opportunities to enhance the quality of care we provide and strengthen the overall patient experience. Patients are welcome to provide feedback directly to our reception team, practice management team or through written correspondence. We encourage concerns to be raised as early as possible so they can be addressed promptly and effectively. If a concern cannot be resolved through direct communication with our practice, patients may also seek assistance from the Health and Community Services Complaints Commissioner (HCSCC), which provides an independent pathway for healthcare-related complaints and enquiries.
