Important Update – Medicare Bulk Billing Requirements

From 1 July 2026, Medicare requires all eligible bulk billed patients to provide Assignment of Benefit (Medicare) consent before we can process their Medicare claim.
To comply with this requirement, all patients are asked to visit the Accounts desk before leaving the clinic after each appointment. Our team will assist you with completing this quick consent process.
Please note that if Medicare consent is not completed, we will be unable to process your bulk billed consultation and an account will be issued.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we implement this new Medicare requirement.
If you have any questions, please speak with our Reception team—we're happy to help.

Have you heard that PCOS has officially been renamed PMOS? Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) is now polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS).

This tackles a common misunderstanding about the condition - the new name highlights the fact that it is a complex, long-term hormonal or endocrine disorder; and the fact that many people with PMOS do not have any cysts at all, and are no more likely to have ovarian cysts than those without the condition.

Historically, people with symptoms have been dismissed by medical professionals in many cases, with over a third of patients waiting more than four years for a diagnosis.

This is no coincidence when you consider that this condition mainly affects cisgender women; but also trans men as well as transmasc, non binary, gender diverse, and intersex people.

While the condition only affects people with ovaries, it goes way beyond the ovaries; as well as way beyond fertility issues, which have been the main focus in the past. There can also be chronic pain and more painful periods to contend with, disrupted hormones (which can lead to weight gain, increased face and body hair growth, acne, and loss of head hair), metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, an increased risk of cardiovascular issues, and mental health problems arising from all of the aforementioned factors.

In the light of this, it is hoped the new name - which took 14 years of global collaboration between experts and those with lived experience, and was led by Australian Professor Helena Teede - will lead to better diagnosis and treatment for those with PMOS.

Mother’s Day can hold so many different emotions.

For some, it is filled with joy, cuddles, laughter and love.
For others, it can bring grief, longing, heartbreak, silence, guilt, confusion or emptiness.

Today, I want to acknowledge:
The mothers doing their best every single day.
The mothers who have lost a child.
The women longing to become mothers.
The mothers separated or estranged from their children.
Those grieving the loss of their own mother.
The children trying to navigate life with a mother affected by mental illness, trauma, addiction or emotional absence.
The women carrying invisible pain behind their smiles.
And those who never experienced the love, safety or nurturing they deserved from a mother figure.

Motherhood and family relationships are not always simple.
Sometimes they are beautiful.
Sometimes they are deeply painful.
Often, they are both.

Please know that your feelings are valid today — whatever they may be.
You do not have to force gratitude, happiness or celebration if your heart is carrying grief or hurt.

As a counsellor, I see the strength it takes to keep showing up through loss, disappointment, complicated relationships and healing journeys.
And I want you to know: your story matters, your pain matters, and you deserve support too.
