West Pennant Hills nursing team · Care Outside the Box®
Meet the nurses who keep your care moving between appointments.
Our three registered nurses work alongside your Specialist GP to provide vaccinations, wound care, health assessments, chronic condition support and on-site procedures. They connect the practical clinical work with the care plan you have agreed with your doctor.
- 3 registered nurses
- Authorised nurse immunisers
- On-site treatment room
Most nursing visits are arranged by reception or during or after a Specialist GP consultation.
What our nurses do
Hands-on care, linked to the bigger picture.
Some visits can be arranged directly with reception. Others form part of a care plan, procedure or review organised by your Specialist GP.
Immunisations
Childhood schedules, seasonal vaccines, catch-up programs and travel vaccinations. A Specialist GP review may be needed for travel advice, prescriptions or individual clinical questions.
Flu vaccination informationWound and procedural care
Dressings, wound reviews, suture removal, ear toilet and support during minor procedures, according to the plan recorded by your treating clinician.
Chronic condition support
Care plan reviews, diabetes support, cardiovascular screening and scheduled observations that help your Specialist GP monitor ongoing health needs.
Health assessments
Over 75 health assessments, 45 to 49 risk assessments and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health assessments, where eligibility requirements are met.
Over 75 assessment guideScreening and observations
Blood pressure checks, baseline observations, ECGs, spirometry, cervical screening and new-patient clinical information when appropriate for the booked visit.

Which appointment should you make?
Reception can check the reason for your visit, the time and equipment needed, and whether a Specialist GP should see you first.
Call reception to arrange
A planned nursing visit.
- A scheduled vaccination or catch-up dose
- A wound dressing or planned wound review
- Suture removal after a procedure
- A nurse follow-up already requested by your clinician
- An injection or test with instructions already in your record
Book a Specialist GP first
A new or unassessed concern.
- A new symptom, injury or wound that has not been assessed
- Travel health advice or a prescription
- Low iron that has not yet been reviewed
- A new diagnosis, medicine decision or care plan
- Any concern where you are unsure what type of care is needed
Urgent symptoms need urgent care. For a medical emergency, call 000. A routine nursing appointment is not an emergency service.
How a nursing visit fits into your care.
The booking path varies by service, but the aim is the same: the right appointment, with the relevant clinical information ready.
Start in the right place
Call reception for a planned nursing service, or book a Specialist GP if your concern needs assessment, a prescription or a new clinical decision.
Prepare the visit
Reception may confirm records, instructions, vaccines, equipment, pathology results or referral information before the appointment.
Keep care connected
Your nursing care is recorded in the same practice file and linked back to your treating Specialist GP when review or follow-up is required.
Not sure what to book? Tell reception what has been requested and what you need help with. They can check the appropriate appointment type and whether any preparation is required.
Call receptionQuestions before a nursing visit.
Can I book a nurse online?
Most nursing visits are arranged by reception or during or after a Specialist GP consultation. Call 02 9680 9644 so the team can allow the right amount of time and confirm any vaccines, equipment or instructions needed.
Do I need to see a Specialist GP first?
It depends on the service. A planned vaccination, dressing, suture removal or requested follow-up may be arranged directly. A new symptom, unassessed wound, prescription, care plan or clinical decision usually needs a Specialist GP appointment first.
Are all three Rosedale nurses authorised immunisers?
Yes. Cloudia, Karen and Bianca are Registered Nurses and authorised nurse immunisers. The available nurse and appointment time depend on the roster and the vaccine service you need.
Can the nursing team help with travel vaccinations?
The nursing team can administer travel vaccines that have been clinically arranged. A Specialist GP appointment may be required to review your itinerary, health history, vaccine needs and any prescriptions before vaccination.
What is needed before an iron infusion?
You need a clinical review or referral, recent blood results and confirmation of the dose before the infusion is booked. A trained nurse performs and observes the infusion, with a Specialist GP on site. Read the current iron infusion guide for the full pathway and fees.
What should I bring?
Bring your Medicare card, relevant referral or written instructions, current medicine list and any vaccination record, hospital letter or dressing information connected with the visit. Reception will tell you if anything else is needed.
Will there be a fee?
Fees depend on the nursing service, any linked consultation, consumables and Medicare eligibility. Ask reception about the specific appointment when you book, and review Rosedale's current fees page.
