World Hepatitis Day - Test, Treat, Defeat 💪🏼

20/07/2026

This World Hepatitis Day (28 July), put your liver health first.

Nearly 50,000 Queenslanders are living with hepatitis B or hepatitis C, and many don't know they have it. Left undiagnosed or untreated, viral hepatitis can lead to serious liver damage, but the good news is that it can be prevented, managed and, in the case of hepatitis C, cured.

Take action for your liver and your life. Test. Treat. Defeat hepatitis.

Learn more, check your risk and take the liver health quiz at www.defeathepatitis.au.

Just a reminder that tomorrow, July 1st, Medicare requires patients to sign a Bulk Billing consent for every appointment - this can be either a physical signature in clinic, or a digital signature. Digital "signatures" can be provided by clicking the link emailed or text messaged to you.

Please make sure we have your email address on file for digital signatures, or to see reception staff to physically sign a consent at the end of your appointment.

❗️IMPORTANT NOTICE 🗣️
Changes to Medicare Assignment of Benefit (AoB)

From the 1st of July, Medicare is introducing changes to the way bulk-billed consultations and services are processed.

Verbal consent (being asked "are you happy to be bulk billed today?") is no longer compliant.

We are required to have a written agreement, with an electronic or physical signature from the patient or responsible person (parent, carer) and an agreement is required for every individual appointment.

This is a legal requirement set by Medicare and applies to all medical practices.

What does this mean for you?

You will receive an email and/or SMS before or after your appointment requesting your consent to assign your benefit to your doctor (bulk bill). This message will come from HotDoc, and will ask you to confirm the patient's surname and date of birth.

Your consent allows us to submit the bulk-billing claim directly to Medicare on your behalf. If consent is not received, we will be unable to process the claim, and your doctor will not be paid for their time in treating you.

Enduring consent is a work-in-progress (TBC 2027)

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate the new changes, and welcome any questions or concerns.
