The key details in one place show a clinic built for convenience — but also reveal a few gaps worth knowing before you visit.

These figures come from healthdirect and SAcommunity, with one discrepancy worth flagging in the next section.

What doctors work at Berri Medical Clinic?

The clinic employs general practitioners with a range of special interests. According to the clinic’s Facebook page for community engagement, doctors have expertise in child and adolescent health, women’s health, antenatal care, preventative medicine, and minor surgical procedures. A full roster with individual biographies is not publicly listed, but the clinic encourages patients to call and ask about specific practitioners.

What specialties are available?

• Women’s health and antenatal care
• Child and adolescent health
• Preventative medicine and health checks
• Minor surgical procedures (e.g., skin excisions) (Berri Medical Clinic official site)

Are there female doctors at Berri Medical Clinic?

The clinic’s Facebook and local listings indicate that female GPs are available, though a specific list is not published online. Calling the clinic directly can help match you with a doctor of your preference.

What is the phone number and how to contact Berri Medical Clinic?

The primary phone number is straightforward: 08 8582 2855. That number is confirmed by both Riverland Link local directory and healthdirect government health service. The fax line is 08 8582 3413.

What is the mailing address?

29 McGilton Road, Berri, SA 5343. The clinic sits in a commercial area just off the Sturt Highway, making it easy to find.

Does Berri Medical Clinic have an email address?

Yes — info@berrimedical.com.au, as listed on multiple directories.

Bottom line: The clinic is reachable by phone during all open hours, and email works for non-urgent inquiries. For bookings, calling or using HotDoc online booking platform is the fastest path.

What are the opening hours of Berri Medical Clinic?

Here we find a small discrepancy worth noting. The clinic’s own website (berrimedical.com.au) and healthdirect government health service indicate weekday hours until 8pm. Riverland Link local directory lists Monday–Friday 8am–6pm, while SAcommunity directory agrees with the 8am–8pm times. The most likely correct schedule — based on official primary sources — is:

• Monday–Friday: 8:00am – 8:00pm
• Saturday: 8:00am – 6:00pm
• Sunday & public holidays: Closed

“Bulk billing is available with conditions and fees may apply.”

— healthdirect (government health advice service)

Is Berri Medical Clinic open on Saturdays?

Yes, from 8am to 6pm. This is consistently reported across Riverland Link local directory and SAcommunity directory.

Is the clinic open on public holidays?

No. All sources confirm the clinic is closed on public holidays. After-hours emergencies should be directed to the nearest hospital.

What are the reviews and prices at Berri Medical Clinic?

Publicly available reviews are scattered. The clinic maintains a Facebook page for community engagement where patients occasionally leave feedback — mostly positive, praising the friendly staff and short wait times. No formal rating system exists on its own website.

How much does a consultation cost?

Exact fees for standard consultations are not publicly listed. healthdirect government health service states that fees may apply, and SAcommunity directory notes that normal fees apply for non-concession patients. Payment is required on the day of consultation.

“Patients with a valid concession card or pension card are bulk-billed for most standard and long consultations. Patients under 18 are also bulk-billed for most standard and long consultations.”

— HotDoc (third-party booking platform)

Does Berri Medical Clinic bulk bill?

Yes — but only for concession card holders and patients under 18. That policy is confirmed by HotDoc booking platform and SAcommunity directory. For other patients, you’ll need to pay on the day and claim the Medicare rebate.

Bottom line: Concession card holders and under-18s pay nothing; everyone else faces a gap fee payable upfront on the day.

Does Berri Medical Clinic have a pharmacy and other services?

The clinic does not appear to have an on-site pharmacy. However, a pharmacy operates nearby in the Berri town centre. The clinic itself focuses on medical services:

• General practice consultations
• Women’s health (including Pap smears, contraception advice)
• Antenatal care
• Child and adolescent health checks
• Minor surgical procedures (e.g., mole removal, wound closure)
• Preventative medicine (immunisations, health assessments)

According to the clinic’s official site, they partner with medical imaging and pathology providers, allowing patients to access bulk-billed rebates through Medicare for those services when referred.

What other services are offered?

Beyond the list above, the clinic accepts WorkCover and DTEI patients, and offers chronic disease management plans (e.g., for diabetes, asthma).

Is there an on-site pharmacy?

No. Patients are directed to a nearby pharmacy in Berri for prescriptions.
