Globally, January is recognised as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.

Cervical cancer is thankfully on the decline thanks to good vaccination rates, however regular screening still ensures abnormalities can be dealt with before they become bigger issues. 💉🌟

Early-stage cervical disease is typically asymptomatic, meaning you likely won’t feel any different while these changes are occurring.

🔍 Asymptomatic screening is typically every 5 years, unless told otherwise. Speak with your GP to clarify what time interval is recommended for you.

🚩 Symptomatic investigation is recommended if you experience “red flag” changes, regardless of when your last routine screen was performed. These symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, including bleeding after s*x, between periods, or after menopause, persistent or unusual vaginal discharge, or a visibly abnormal appearing cervix.

⚡ The GPs consulting at Crafter Health are here to support you through either pathway, providing you with the most appropriate clinical investigations for your needs. 👩‍⚕️🤝

The Australian Medicare Safety Net resets every year on January 1st.

The Australian Federal Government, through Medicare, provides you a rebate to help cover your out of hospital health care costs.

The ‘Medicare Safety Nets’ is an attempt by the Federal Government to provide extra financial support to those Australians with more health care needs.

The safety nets kick in once your gap amount reaches a certain limit per year, resulting in you paying a smaller gap per service until the end of the year.

There are 2 safety net thresholds:
Original safety net threshold - same limit for everyone and slightly increases your medicare rebate per service.
Extended safety net threshold - there is a different limit depending on whether you are a concession card holder or not. Once this limit is reached, your medicare rebate increases substantially, reducing your gap amount.

Families registered as a family with medicare share the one safety limit as a family.

To learn more, including the current safety net limits, check out:
https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/medicare-safety-nets

Please contact your local Member of Parliament if you disagree with the gap amount you need to pay or the safety net limits set - as only the Australian Government can change your medicare rebate.

🌬️ Lung Cancer Awareness Month – with a special update!
 Did you know that Australia’s new National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) is now live? It began in July 2025 and offers free low-dose CT scans to people at higher risk of lung cancer.

You might be eligible if you:
* are aged between 50-70 years,
* are currently smoking, or have quit within the past 10 years
* have a smoking history of at least 30 pack-years (for example, one pack a day for 30 years).
* show no symptoms of lung cancer (this screening is for people who feel well).

At Crafter Health, our team is ready to walk you through whether this screening is right for you. Early detection improves outcomes — and talking with your GP is the first step.

👉 For eligibility checks and info, visit www.health.gov.au/nlcsp or speak with us at Crafter Health about booking in.

Mental Health Care Plans give eligible Medicare card holders access to up to 10 subsidised individual sessions and 10 group sessions with a mental health professional each calendar year.

To access these rebates, your GP must diagnose a mental health condition in line with the World Health Organisation definition. This involves a detailed discussion, a Mental State Examination, and any investigations your doctor considers appropriate.

From 1 November 2025, Medicare now also requires your Mental Health Care Plan to be created at your MyMedicare-registered practice or by your regular GP.

If your plan is completed elsewhere, you may miss out on your rebate—so it’s important to check that your MyMedicare registration is up to date before your appointment.

Once completed, your plan is shared with your chosen mental health professional, and your GP will review your progress after six sessions to decide whether the remaining four are needed.

For more personalised advice, speak with your GP consulting at Crafter Health.
