Dr K’s Canada update: I can’t believe we’re halfway through our time here in Canada! It’s now officially ‘summer’. The temps are pretty much the same as they are at home in winter. The best part is the very long days, but it’s hard putting kids to bed when it’s still daylight until almost 10pm. We’re making the most of every spare minute as we know it’ll be over all too soon. Sending Canadian summer vibes!

IMPORTANT CHANGES COMING - From 1 July 2026 the Government will no longer allow patients to provide consent for Assignment of Medicare Benefit verbally or over the phone (unless you have registered with mymedicare with us)

What does this mean? You must provide consent, either by signing your assignment of benefit after your consult at reception before you leave or if you have a telehealth appointment by the message sent via HotDoc.

This means regardless of your reason for your visit to the practice, every patient, every time must be seen by our reception team before leaving.

So please never leave without saying goodbye to our friendly reception team.

Failure to do so may mean that your appointment can not be billed to Medicare and therefore private billing fees will apply.

To understand more about these changes, please visit: https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/improving-the-assignment-of-benefit-process

We thank you and appreciate your understanding.

Bowel Cancer Awareness Month runs throughout June, with Bowel Cancer Australia's signature Red Apple Day taking place on Wednesday, 17 June.

The month-long campaign encourages Australians to screen, know the warning signs, and support fundraising efforts.

Why It Matters:

Vital Early Detection: Over 90% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated when detected early.

High Impact: It is Australia's second deadliest cancer, taking the lives of approximately 100 Australians every week.

Screening Action: Regular screening saves lives, and increasing national participation could prevent over 84,000 deaths by 2040.
