Our address is GO3, 76 Berry Street, North Sydney, 2060.
Located in the multi-storey glass building on the corner of Walker and Berry Street. We are on the left-hand side of the ground floor as you enter the lobby. We are only 5-10 minutes’ walk from North Sydney Train station.
There is ample street parking around the clinic, which is metered. There is also a public car park off Berry Street – ’The Ward Street Car Park’ adjacent to the clinic.
Private health funds do not cover out-of-hospital medical consultations with doctors. Depending on your fund and level of cover, you may be able to claim some allied health appointments. We do not have HICAPS on site, so you will need to lodge any private health claims directly with your fund.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you cannot attend your appointment. We require at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel. Our doctors have long waitlists, so early notice allows us to offer the appointment to another patient. A cancellation fee of $150–$275 applies if you cancel within 48 hours.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of your child’s information and to handling your child’s personal information in a responsible manner and in accordance with privacy legislation.
If you would like to provide feedback, please contact our practice manager via email – manager@theberrystreetclinic.com.au
