How we keep minor surgery safe
Minor surgery may be small, but it still needs to be done properly. At Carindale Doctors, every procedure follows careful safety steps. Your GP confirms your identity, the procedure and the site, explains the risks and benefits, and gets your consent. Sterile instruments and technique are used to reduce the risk of infection, and local anaesthetic doses are checked for your size and health.
After the procedure, specimens are labelled and sent to pathology, and you’ll receive clear written aftercare instructions. We follow up your results and check your wound, so nothing is left to chance. It’s the same standard of care you’d expect anywhere, delivered by your own GP.
In short: Carindale Doctors performs GP minor surgery inside Westfield Carindale with careful safety steps: identity and site checks, informed consent, sterile technique, pathology for specimens and written aftercare. Most procedures take 15 to 45 minutes. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.

Minor surgery with a GP who knows you
Our Carindale GPs know your medical history, which helps us plan safe procedures, especially if you take blood thinners, have diabetes or have had reactions to anaesthetic before.
