The practice, owned by Dr John Marshman is open to patients that have appointments, but also those without for medical advice and counselling.
“Anybody who had appointments, or even those without appointments that need access to their doctor, we’re available,” spokeswoman Janine Dixon said.
The Bega rooms would also be a hub for those that needed their medications.
She said it was a very trying time for everyone and doctors wanted to ensure their patients had the best care, as well as offering counselling for those suffering due to the Tathra fires.
Ms Dixon said appointments for medicine, counselling or even just advice from your family doctors will be available at the Bega rooms from Tuesday morning.
“We’re really unsure how soon we’ll be able to open the doors in Tathra,” Ms Dixon said.
“So we want to offer stability for all our patients. If you need to see your doctor, please call us on (02) 6492 2555 or come and see us.”
The rooms are located at 24 Church Street, Bega.
