Complaints and Requests

We are unable to assisst with complaints about doctors.  The AMA represents the interests of medical practitioners and it is therefore not appropriate for us to assess complaints against doctors.

The Health and Community Care Complaints Commission and the Northern Territory Medical Board deal with complaints about all registered medical practitioners in the Northern Territory.  They can be contacted on:

Health and Community Care Complaints Commission: 1800 806 380 or www.hcscc.nt.gov.au

Northern Territory Medical Board:   08 8999 4157                                                                                       or www.health.nt.gov.au/Health_Professions_Licensing_Authority_HPLA                   

We are also unable to assist with questions about your medical treatment or referrals and can not recommend a doctor in any specialty or recommend a general practitioner. For medical treatment or referrals you will need to contact your local medical practitioner to seek their advice or seek a second opinion if you are unsure.

The website Medical Directory Australia may assist with locating a doctor located at: www.mda.com.au
