Japanese Encephalitis has reached Australia

Reasons to wear a mask

• Someone in your household or contacts is sick and you don’t have symptoms yet
• You care for someone who is immunocompromised and want to protect them
• You feel you have very minor symptoms starting and may be brewing something
• You feel safer and more protected when wearing a mask
• You want to care for the vulnerable in the waiting room
• Drs request you do not come into the surgery with cold and flu symptoms. They can successfully manage these appts via Telehealth so book that type of appt

BYO mask or purchase in a vending machine in the building $2

To create a safe place to visit and work, we have introduced special hospital grade Hepa filters in every room that remove 99.97% of all viruses, bacteria, chemicals and have fresh air exchange turnover equal to hospital standard air conditioning along with Co2 monitoring.

Thank you for caring about the most vulnerable in the community.

MYMEDICARE REGISTRATIONS OPEN

Extra Medicare benefits are now available to eligible patients who have registered with the Australian Government’s MyMedicare eg longer telehealth appts, care plans and mental health plans. WE offer 7 day access (Telehealth on Sundays) and you can still see your local practice if you need to when registered with us. To register or learn more about how MyMedicare can benefit you, click here or ask on arrival

There are multiple ways you can register with your chosen practice in MyMedicare:

• Start the registration process in your Medicare Online Account or Express Plus Medicare Mobile app. Check that your practice is registered in MyMedicare before you start. Practice staff will then accept the registration in the MyMedicare system.
• Your practice may start the registration in MyMedicare or you can ask them to do this. This will trigger a registration in your Medicare Online Account or Express Plus Medicare Mobile app, which you can then complete.
• Fill out a registration form and provide it to your practice. By signing the form, you are giving consent to participate in MyMedicare. Practice staff will then complete the registration in the MyMedicare system.

MyMedicare registration will not prevent you from accessing care from other practices and healthcare providers. MyMedicare does not tie you to a particular healthcare provider. You can change your preferred GP within your registered practice at any time.
