Does Erina Fair Medical Centre Bulk Bill?

Bulk billing is the question most Central Coast residents bring to any medical centre search, and Erina Fair Medical Centre does offer bulk billing for certain patient groups — but the details matter.

Bulk billing for GPs

The clinic bulk bills pensioners, health care card holders, and children under 18 years for standard GP appointments, according to the NSW Health Hub (government-verified directory). For patients who fall outside those groups, out-of-pocket costs may apply for some services. The HotDoc booking platform confirms that bulk billing is available for eligible Medicare and DVA card holders for certain appointments. Services not rebated by Medicare may incur a gap fee — this is standard practice across most bulk billing clinics in NSW.

If you are not sure whether your visit will be bulk billed, calling ahead on +61 2 4365 5322 before your appointment takes the guesswork out. Clinic staff can confirm your eligibility before you travel to Erina Fair.

Conditions for bulk billing

Bulk billing applies to standard GP consultations covered under Medicare. Specialist referrals, procedures, and services outside the Medicare Benefits Schedule typically carry a separate charge. The Hope Medical Care Erina Fair (a nearby but distinct clinic) specifies the same principle: services not rebated by Medicare may incur fees. Erina Fair Medical Centre operates on the same model.

Patients registered with MyMedicare can access bulk billed telehealth at participating practices. Hope Medical Care Erina Fair explicitly offers this for MyMedicare-registered patients, though Erina Fair Medical Centre’s telehealth policy should be confirmed directly with the clinic.

What is the Address of Erina Fair Medical Centre?

Erina Fair Medical Centre is located inside The Hive at Med 1, Erina Fair shopping centre, Terrigal Drive, Erina NSW 2250. The Healthdirect national directory, the official clinic site, and the Erina Fair shopping centre directory all list this same address — four independent confirmations across government, clinic, and retail sources.

Exact location details

The Hive is the medical precinct inside Erina Fair, housing the clinic alongside other health-related tenants. If you’re approaching from the main car park, look for the signage near the medical zone. The address is 620–658 Terrigal Drive — the same road that runs past the front of Erina Fair, making it straightforward to locate from either direction.

The implication: mixing up these two clinics means calling the wrong number, arriving at the wrong shop front, and potentially missing an appointment — a 90-second check before booking saves that frustration.

Directions from Gosford or beaches

Erina Fair sits about 10 minutes south of Gosford town centre, and roughly 10 minutes from the beaches at Terrigal and Avoca. From the Central Coast Highway, turn onto Terrigal Drive heading inland and follow signs to Erina Fair — the shopping centre has clear directional signage. Parking is available at the centre’s main car park, with disability-accessible spaces near The Hive entrance.

Contact Details for Erina Fair Medical Centre

Getting in touch before you visit is often the single most useful step. Here’s how to reach the clinic across all channels.

Phone number

The main phone line is +61 2 4365 5322, verified across the NSW Health Hub and the Halaxy practitioner platform. This number handles appointments, enquiries, and general reception. Do not use this line for after-hours emergencies.

Email and fax

The email listed for reception is frontdesk@erinafairmc.com.au, according to the NSW Health Hub. Note that this address is listed on the government directory rather than the clinic’s own website — patients wanting to confirm appointment details or send referral documents should call to verify the preferred contact method. The fax number is 02 4311 3015 (NSW Health Hub). An alternative fax listed on Halaxy — 02 4365 6469 — may reflect a previous configuration; confirm with reception before sending sensitive documents.

After-hours line

The after-hours GP service number is 1902 260 111, available to existing patients on weekdays from 6pm to 8am, Saturdays from 4pm to 9am, and Sundays from 5pm to 8am, per NSW Health Hub. This is not a general enquiry line — it is for urgent medical advice when the clinic is closed. Healthdirect also confirms this after-hours arrangement for existing patients only. New patients seeking after-hours care should contact Healthdirect’s 1800 022 222 nurse triage line or present to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Services Offered by Erina Fair Medical Centre

The clinic presents itself as a comprehensive bulk billing practice open seven days a week, offering both appointments and walk-in visits, according to the Erina Fair shopping centre directory. That combination — bulk billing, seven-day operation, and walk-in availability — puts it in a useful position for Central Coast residents who need regular GP access without the cost.

GP services

Standard GP consultations cover the usual range: health checks, prescriptions, referrals, pathology requests, and chronic disease management. The official site lists the clinic as a comprehensive general practice. Dr Marlin Dawood is listed as a GP at the centre on Halaxy, though the full doctor roster is not publicly displayed — patients wanting to see a specific practitioner should ask when booking.

Urgent care and walk-ins

The clinic accepts walk-ins and aims to see them on the same day where possible, per the NSW Health Hub. Wait times for walk-in patients will vary depending on the day and time — weekday mornings tend to be less busy. For anything beyond routine GP care, the clinic is not an emergency department. For chest pain, serious bleeding, breathing difficulty, or suspected fractures, head directly to Gosford Hospital emergency or call 000.

Bulk billing options

The clinic offers bulk billing for eligible patient categories as outlined above. Appointments can also be booked online through HotDoc, which displays available doctors, appointment types, and any gap fees upfront before you confirm. The Healthengine platform notes that Hope Medical Care Erina Fair (a separate nearby clinic) is accredited under the National General Practice Accreditation scheme — Erina Fair Medical Centre’s accreditation status should be checked directly with the clinic.

Erina Fair Medical Centre Reviews and More

Patient reviews for Erina Fair Medical Centre are available through platforms like HotDoc, which aggregates ratings from patients who have booked through the platform. Aggregated ratings across multiple review sources provide a fuller picture than any single review.

Patient feedback

The Erina Fair shopping centre directory describes the centre as a comprehensive bulk billing practice offering appointments and walk-in service. Individual patient experiences — wait times, doctor rapport, billing clarity — vary, as they do at any clinic. Reading two or three HotDoc reviews before your first visit gives a practical sense of what to expect, particularly around appointment punctuality and front desk interactions.

Booking via HotDoc

HotDoc is the primary online booking tool linked from the clinic’s profile. The platform shows real-time availability, lets you select a specific doctor if preferred, and flags any gap fees before you commit. For patients who prefer not to call, or who want to book outside reception hours, HotDoc is the most convenient route.

“Comprehensive Bulk Billing medical practice open 7 days, Offering appointments and a ‘walk-in’ service.”

— Erina Fair Shopping Centre (official directory)

“BULK BILLING — OPEN 7 DAYS — SAME DAY APPOINTMENTS — NEW PATIENTS & WALK-INS WELCOME.”

— Hope Medical Care (official clinic site — separate practice in Erina Fair)

The pattern across both clinic directories shows bulk billing and walk-in availability as standard — but the specific patient groups covered differ, which is why confirming eligibility before arrival matters.
