Getting to our clinic from Edgecliff

About twenty one minutes on foot from the station, and it climbs. A few minutes by car. There is no direct bus.

Walking from Edgecliff

It is about 1.55 kilometres and roughly twenty one minutes. Worth knowing before you set out: the station sits down in the New South Head Road valley and we are up on the Oxford Street ridge, so the route is indirect and it climbs most of the way.

If stairs and hills are hard work for you, drive or take a taxi instead, and call reception if you would like them to talk you through it.

Driving from Edgecliff

It is about two kilometres. Head up New South Head Road and turn onto Ocean Street, follow it up to Oxford Street, then turn right. We are a short way along near Paddington Town Hall, with Paddington Reservoir Gardens beside us and Underwood Street running behind. Allow extra time between 8:00 and 9:30 on weekdays.

Public transport from Edgecliff

  • The train gets you closest, and that is Edgecliff's one advantage. Edgecliff is the nearest railway station to us, a little over a kilometre away, closer than Kings Cross and closer again than Bondi Junction. If you are anywhere on the T4 line, Edgecliff is the stop to get off at.
  • There is no direct bus, and we would rather say so. Edgecliff Station is served by the 323, 324, 325, 326, 327 and 328. None of them come to us. They run the New South Head Road corridor towards the city and the harbour, not across to Oxford Street.
  • If you want a bus for the whole trip, take one east to Bondi Junction, then the 333, 352 or 440 back west along Oxford Street to the Paddington Town Hall stop, about eighty metres from our door. It works, but it sends you past us and back.
  • Coming off the train? It is either the walk, which climbs, or a short taxi up Ocean Street. Call reception if you would like them to talk you through it.

Accessibility

  • Disabled access is available.
  • Wheelchair accessible entrance
  • Wheelchair accessible waiting area
  • Wheelchair accessible toilet
  • Accessible parking close by
  • If you have specific access needs, call reception on (02) 9072 1660 before you come and they will talk you through the entrance and the parking.

Parking

  • Underwood Street, directly behind the practice, is unmetered with a two hour limit and it is the one most patients use.
  • Oxford Street outside is metered eastbound until 4pm, and unmetered for two hours westbound from 10am.
  • The Gordon Car Park at 2 Newcombe Street is paid undercover parking about five minutes away on foot, open Sunday to Friday and closed on Saturdays, so on a Saturday morning aim for the street.
  • Most surrounding streets are unmetered one to two hour parking.

Questions from patients travelling in from Edgecliff

Is the practice walkable from Edgecliff Station?

Yes, at about 1.55 kilometres and roughly twenty one minutes, but it is worth knowing what you are in for. The station sits down in the valley and we are up on the Oxford Street ridge, so the route is indirect and it climbs. If that is difficult for you, drive or take a taxi.

Is there a direct bus from Edgecliff?

No, and it is better to say so than to send you looking. The 323, 324, 325, 326, 327 and 328 all serve Edgecliff Station, and none of them comes to us. They run along New South Head Road towards the city and the harbour rather than across to Oxford Street. Walking or driving is the sensible trip.

Which station is closest to you?

Edgecliff, at a little over a kilometre. It is closer than Kings Cross and closer again than Bondi Junction. If you are travelling on the T4 line from anywhere, Edgecliff is the stop to get off at.

Where do I park if I drive up from Edgecliff?

Underwood Street runs directly behind the practice and is unmetered with a two hour limit, which is what most patients use. Oxford Street outside is metered eastbound until 4pm and unmetered for two hours westbound from 10am. The Gordon Car Park on Newcombe Street is paid, undercover and about five minutes on foot, and it is closed on Saturdays.

I already see a physiotherapist near Edgecliff. Can you work with them?

Yes. Your GP can refer you to allied health close to home, and if you already have someone you see, tell reception when you book and we will work with that. One of our GPs, Dr David Kriukelis, is a qualified physiotherapist as well, which sometimes helps when the two need joining up.

Most of our doctors are accepting new patients.
