Today is World Mental Health Day, part of Mental Health Month this October.

This year’s theme, Together We Thrive, highlights the important role that connection, belonging and community play in supporting our mental health and wellbeing.

Taking the time to check in with someone, start a conversation or simply let them know you care can make a real difference.

If you’re finding things difficult or need some extra support, our GPs are here to help. Book an appointment to discuss your mental health and whether a Mental Health Treatment Plan may be right for you.

Together, let’s create more opportunities for connection, kindness and positive mental wellbeing.

Taking care of your health isn’t just about treating problems when they arise, it’s also about staying one step ahead.

A Health Assessment can help you stay proactive about your health and ensure your ongoing care needs are being considered as things change over time.

If you’re 75 or over, or know someone who is, they may be eligible for an annual bulk-billed Health Assessment.

Call 9390 4444 to book or speak with our reception team.

From 1 July 2026, Medicare is changing the consent process for bulk billed services.

Previously, consent could often be provided verbally. Under the new Medicare requirements, consent must be recorded through an approved process before Medicare benefits can be paid directly to your doctor. This change does not affect your Medicare eligibility or the care you receive.

To make this easy, patients may receive a secure consent link via HotDoc by SMS or email. Simply follow the link to provide your consent. You may be asked to confirm your surname and date of birth as part of the verification process.

Although Medicare has provided a 12-month transition period to implement these changes, our practice has chosen to get ahead by introducing the new consent process early, helping ensure a smooth experience for our patients.

As part of this new process, please ensure we have your current mobile number and email address on file so you can receive these communications.

Paper consent forms will also be available at reception from 1 July for patients who prefer not to provide consent electronically.

If you have any questions, our reception team is happy to help.
