Farrell Street Family Practice

What Farrell Street Family Practice does

Farrell Street Family Practice is a privately-owned general practice medical center located in Yandina, Queensland, Australia, serving the Sunshine Coast and surrounding hinterland communities. The practice operates with a team of 8 doctors and delivers comprehensive primary care services including women's health, chronic disease management (asthma, diabetes, COPD, heart failure, arthritis, chronic pain, Alzheimer's, alcohol dependency), skin cancer screening and treatment, immunizations, and telehealth consultations. As of 07/01/2025 the practice transitioned to a fully bulk-billed model with no out-of-pocket fees for Medicare-eligible patients—a positioning it explicitly markets as uncommon in the local area, targeting families, concession cardholders, and cost-sensitive patients.

Revenue is generated primarily through Medicare bulk billing rebates, supplemented by ancillary fees including a $30 charge per online prescription request and a $50 cancellation/no-show fee. Service delivery is anchored on a single clinic location operating Monday to Friday 8:30 am–5:00 pm, with wheelchair access, on-site pathology through partner 4Cyte Pathology (Mon–Fri 8:30 am–4:30 pm), and co-located podiatry services via Yandina Podiatry (led by AHPRA-registered podiatrist Tetyana Podkas). The practice's technology backbone is the Automed Systems platform handling patient recalls, reminders, appointment booking, online prescriptions, and specialist referral requests, with integration into Australia's My Health Records (PCEHR) system. The practice holds QPA Accreditation Plus from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), indicating compliance with national quality and patient safety standards, and offers telehealth appointments via a dedicated TeleHealth doctor. Patient engagement is supported through a content-marketing website (doctorsunshinecoast.com), a blog of health-education articles, email communication, and phone-based appointment scheduling.
