The Health Hub Family General Practices has Achieved Accreditation.

What does that mean to HHFGP Community?

Accreditation is an integral part of safe and quality general practice in Australia. It is independent recognition that practices meet the requirements of the governing national industry Standards, set by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). Accreditation means a practice is meeting minimum safety and quality standards.

It is for general practices of all kinds who are recognised for their commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvements.

By undergoing independent assessment, the award of accreditation reassures practice owners, practice managers, staff, funding bodies, consumers and patients that the practice is meeting minimum safety and quality standards, as outlined by the RACGP.

Benefits of being an accredited general practice.

Improved patient safety.
Effective risk management.
Patient assurance of a high level of care.
Building a culture of quality.
Continuous quality improvement (CQI).
Increased insurance provider recognition.
Be eligible for financial incentives from Medicare (PIP and WIP incentives).

What is MyMedicare?
MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration system that aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.
Seeing your GP regularly and formalising the relationship you have with your GP and general practice through MyMedicare can lead to better health outcomes.
By registering as a patient of your chosen general practice and selecting a preferred GP, additional funding will be available from the government to assist your primary care team to deliver the care you need.
It is voluntary and free to register in MyMedicare, and registration is open to Australians with a Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card. To find out if you’re eligible for MyMedicare read the Registering in MyMedicare factsheet.

MyMedicare is a registration system and won’t hold any of your clinical health information. Your clinical health information will continue to be stored in your My Health Record, if you have one. All personal information recorded in MyMedicare, including your chosen healthcare providers, will be kept secure and your privacy will be maintained. Read the MyMedicare Privacy Notice at health.gov.au/mymedicare-privacy for further information.
Benefits of registering for MyMedicare
Many general practices across Australia have registered in MyMedicare to support them in offering tailored care and services to fit the needs of their regular patients.

By registering in MyMedicare, you may benefit from:
• A formalised relationship with your general practice or GP, which has shown to improve health outcomes.
• Longer Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) funded telehealth consultations with your GP.
• Incentive for longer telehealth consultations for children under 16 and Commonwealth Card Concession card holders.
• More regular visits from your GP and better care planning for people living in a residential aged care home.
• Connections to more appropriate care in general practice for people who visit hospital frequently.

Longer funded telehealth consultations may be particularly beneficial for people seeking assistance with their mental health, people with disability, older Australians and people in rural or remote Australia.
Further registration benefits for patients will continue to be added as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to strengthening Medicare. If you choose not to register in MyMedicare, you’ll still be able to access the same quality of care from your healthcare providers.
Talk to your regular general practice or GP about registering in MyMedicare, or find out more at health.gov.au/mymedicare

RSV(Respiratory Syncytical Virus):
a common, highly contagious virus that infects the nose, throat and lungs. RSV spreads between people when an infected person produces small water droplets while talking, coughing and sneezing.
RSV is a leading cause of childhood hospitalisation. Almost all infants will get RSV before the age of 2, and babies under 2 months can become seriously ill and be hospitalised. Serious complications include pneumonia and bronchiolitis.

Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect your children from serious disease caused by RSV. Eligible pregnant women can get the RSV maternal vaccine for free under the National Immunisation Program (NIP). The vaccine is available and can be given throughout the year.
Maternal immunisation significantly reduces the risk of severe RSV disease in infants less than 6 months of age. As babies under 6 months are at most risk of developing serious complications from RSV, vaccination during pregnancy is recommended to help protect them from birth.
The RSV vaccine during pregnancy is safe for both babies and mothers.
There is extensive evidence showing the safety of the recommended maternal vaccines in pregnant women. Studies of women who got vaccinated in pregnancy have found no evidence that the vaccines harm their unborn babies.


When you receive the maternal RSV vaccine, your immune system produces antibodies that are passed through the placenta to your baby. These antibodies protect your infant against RSV from birth for up to 6 months until their immune system becomes stronger and they make their own antibodies.

The RSV vaccine is recommended for women at 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy because immunity develops in the weeks after getting the vaccine. Babies may not be protected unless they are born at least 2 weeks after the mother receives the vaccine.

Want to know more inform please
discuss with your GP!

“You have bowel cancer“

Four words you don’t expect to hear when you’re young.
Yet each year over 1,700 young Australians do.

It is a common misconception that bowel cancer is ‘an old person’s disease’, but the reality is early-onset bowel cancer is on the rise and you should never be told that ”you’re too young to have bowel cancer”.

Although the majority of newly diagnosed bowel cancer cases occur in people aged 50 years and over, 1 in 9 (11%) Australians diagnosed with bowel cancer are under the age of 50.

No one knows your body better than you, so listen to it and if something isn’t right make an appointment to speak with your GP as soon as possible.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month – Bowel Cancer Australia’s signature event to raise awareness of Australia’s second deadliest cancer and funds for the leading community-funded charity dedicated to championing what matters most to people impacted by bowel cancer and empowering everyone affected to live their best life.

Bowel cancer is preventable and treatable

Bowel cancer claims the lives of 101 Australians every week (5,276 people a year) – but it’s one of the most treatable types of cancer when detected early.

While the risk of bowel cancer increases significantly with age, the disease doesn’t discriminate, affecting people of all ages.

280 Australians will be diagnosed with bowel cancer this week (14,534 people a year).

Symptoms of bowel cancer

Not everyone experiences symptoms, particularly in the early stages of bowel cancer.

The common symptoms may be suggestive of bowel cancer, but they can also be due to other medical conditions, some foods or medicines.

Don’t delay in talking to your GP if you are experiencing any of the described symptoms for two weeks or more, because when diagnosed early almost 99 percent of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated.


https://healthhubgp.com.au/book-an-appointment/

Common symptoms can include:

Blood in your poo or re**al bleeding
Bright red or very dark blood should never be ignored
A recent, persistent change in bowel habit
Such as looser, more diarrhoea-like poo, constipation, or going to the toilet more often, or trying to go – irregularity in someone whose bowel habits have previously been regular
A change in shape or appearance of your Poo
Frequent gas pain, cramps
A feeling of fullness or bloating in the bowel or re**um
Unexplained anaemia
A low red blood count causing tiredness, weakness or weight loss
A feeling that the bowel has not emptied completely after going to the toilet
Pain or a lump in the a**s or re**um
Abdominal pain or swelling.

If you have just one of these symptoms don’t delay, discuss with a professional.
Your GP

“Bridging Now to Next” is the theme for National Reconciliation Week 2025 in Australia.
It signifies the ongoing connection between the past, present, and future, encouraging Australians to work together towards a more just and equitable nation by learning from the past and taking action in the present. The theme emphasizes that reconciliation is a continuous process, not a one-time event, and it invites everyone to contribute to building a more inclusive future.

Highlight Facts are-

Acknowledging the Past:
The theme acknowledges the historical injustices and challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, encouraging Australians to learn from these lessons.

Taking Action in the Present:
It calls for a collective effort to address current issues and build stronger relationships between First Nations peoples and other Australians.

Building a Shared Future:
The theme envisions a future where all Australians are treated with respect and equality, where First Nations cultures and histories are valued, and where reconciliation is a way of life.

Ongoing Process:
It reinforces that reconciliation is not a destination but a continuous journey that requires ongoing effort and commitment from all Australians.

Reconciliation Australia highlights five dimensions that are interconnected: race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity, and historical acceptance.

In the theme artwork created by Kalkadoon woman Bree Buttenshaw, native plants − known for regenerating after fire and thriving through adversity − symbolise our collective strength and the possibilities of renewal. This is a time for growth, reflection, and commitment to walking together.

9th to 15th June 2025 is Men’s Health Week

The Campaign Urging Aussie Blokes
to 'See Your GP'
- Highlight the importance of seeing a doctor if something seems wrong with your physical, mental or emotional wellbeing.

https://healthhubgp.com.au/book-an-appointment/

Men's Health Week is celebrated every year around the world in the middle of June. It is an opportunity to highlight the importance of men's health, and to promote and support the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our communities.

Men's Health Week focuses on not just physical health, but also men's mental health and emotional wellbeing. During the week, we highlight the health challenges faced by men in Australia and worldwide and run events that can be replicated year-round to improve the physical, emotional and mental health of men and boys.

Why Does Men’s Health Matters!

Research consistently shows that men are at higher risk for many serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Additionally, mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and su***de disproportionately affect men, yet many struggle to seek help due to stigma and societal pressures.

One of the key goals of Men’s Health Week is to break down barriers that prevent men from accessing healthcare. Encouraging regular check-ups, open conversations, and lifestyle changes can lead to earlier detection of health issues and improved overall well-being.
