Medical Services

What are Medical Services? In the Roaming Healthcare directory, this category refers to medical practitioners and registered health professionals who can attend, examine, and treat various conditions. Whether you need in-home doctor appointments or nursing assistance, we have a wide range of highly-qualified Physicians and Nurses available to come directly to you and/or your frail loved one(s).   Do I need a referral to access Medical Services? We recommend asking about referrals when booking your appointment. There are also a range of national and state-based funding schemes and programs available, such as services provided by community or aboriginal health services, Medicare funded services, and disability providers. In these cases, you may need a referral, typically from a general practitioner.   The importance of palliative care support at home As defined by Palliative Care Australia, this term refers to person and family-centred support provided for someone “with an active, progressive, advanced disease, who has little or no prospect of cure and who is expected to die, and for whom the primary goal is to optimise the quality of life.” While this is often achieved in residential aged care facilities and hospitals, at Roaming Healthcare we feel it’s important to seek this assistance in the home environment. It means you or your vulnerable family member can live life as fully and as comfortably as possible in familiar surroundings - alongside personal belongings and much-loved pets.
