The content on this Website does not constitute medical advice, health advice, or any other form of professional advice. You should not rely on directory information as a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a qualified health professional for medical concerns.
2. No Health Services
GPScout is not a health services provider. We do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Our directory is an informational tool that helps you locate GP practices in your area. The inclusion of a practice in our directory does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement.

While we make every effort to ensure our directory is current and accurate:
- Practice information is sourced from the National Health Services Directory via Geoscience Australia under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence
- We refresh data quarterly, but there may be a delay between changes and our updates
- We do not guarantee that all listed practices are currently operating or accepting patients
- Opening hours, services offered, and bulk billing status may have changed since our last update
- You should contact a practice directly to confirm details before visiting
4. GP Practice Listings
Our directory is sourced from public government health data. Regarding listed practices:
- Listing does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of any practice
- We do not verify the qualifications, competence, or suitability of any listed practitioner
- You should independently verify a practice's registration and services before attending
- Practices listed have not paid for their listing unless explicitly marked as "Featured" or "Sponsored"
