Assessment of the wound and surrounding skin, gentle cleaning/debridement if needed, a dressing plan (moist-healing approach), tetanus status check, and follow-up to track healing.
Cuts, grazes, surgical wounds, skin tears and ulcers (including venous leg ulcers). Your clinic’s page lists care for cuts, sores, ulcers and surgical wounds.
Apply firm pressure to stop bleeding, rinse with clean water/saline, remove obvious debris, pat the skin around it dry and cover with a non-stick dressing. Seek care if the cut is deep, gaping, contaminated/dirty water, near the eye, a bite, or won’t stop bleeding.
Not usually for clean, minor wounds. Keeping the wound clean and moist-dressed is the priority; antiseptic creams are not necessary for most small cuts. Your GP will advise if infection is suspected.
See a GP promptly if you notice spreading redness/swelling, pus, fever, or the wound isn’t improving after ~5 days. Seek urgent help for severe bleeding, deep eye wounds, or if you feel faint/short of breath.
Your GP will check your immunisation history. As a guide: with clean, minor wounds, a booster is due if >10 years since last dose; for other (dirty/deep) wounds, if >5 years. Some higher-risk wounds may also need tetanus immunoglobulin.
Deep/gaping wounds ideally need assessment within hours; some require sutures, glue or staples to reduce infection and scarring.
Keep sutures/dressings clean and dry for the first 24 hours; after that, brief gentle wetting may be OK if your GP says so. Avoid swimming until healed. If you have skin glue or steri-strips, you may need to keep them dry longer—follow the instructions you’re given.
It depends on the wound and dressing type. Many simple wounds need changes every few days; wet/oozy ulcers may need daily care at first. Your clinician will set a schedule.
Yes—care typically includes the right dressing and, when appropriate, graduated compression once arterial disease is excluded. Compression is a key therapy for venous ulcers.
A wound that hasn’t progressed in ~4 weeks may be “chronic” and needs review; your GP can reassess, adjust dressings/compression, and arrange referrals if needed.
Yes—foot wounds can be harder to heal. Early GP review, off-loading, infection checks and close follow-up are important.
Some reviews and plan updates can be done by phone/video, but dressing changes and wound assessments generally need an in-person visit.
Medicare rebates apply to eligible GP services; clinics set their own fees and consumable charges. Ask reception about any gap for dressings/procedures.
