*Practice Update*

Some of our doctors are now using secure AI technology to help assist them with note taking during consultations.

The system listens during your visit and creates a draft of the consultation notes, which the doctor carefully reviews and edits to ensure accuracy.

This allows the doctor to focus more on you, rather than typing, and can improve the completeness and accuracy of your record.

Your privacy is always protected – all data is securely stored and handled under strict confidentiality protocols.

You have the right to decline the use of AI during your consultation. If you choose to opt out, please speak with your doctor or our friendly reception team.

⛑️ Have You Registered Us As Your GP For MyMedicare? – Here’s What It’s About ⛑️

Dear Patients,

📌 What is MyMedicare?
It’s a new system that lets you formally register with your preferred GP and clinic. It’s completely voluntary, but it helps you access care and support through Medicare leading to better health outcomes — especially if you visit the same doctor or clinic regularly.

💡 Why sign up:
• More personalised care from my usual GP 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️
• Better access to longer consultations
• More follow-up and care coordination (especially helpful if you have a chronic condition)

🖥️ How to register:
1. Log onto MyGov
2. Select Medicare
3. Select the View MyMedicare quick link, then start
4. Under search for your practice, select your practice, then Next. If you're having trouble, read the helpful hints.
5. Select your preferred GP, then Next.
6. Complete the voluntary About You information, then select Next to move the the next question or to skip a question.
7. Select Submit registration, then follow the prompts to complete your registration.

🆓 It’s free, and only takes a few minutes — no need to go in person if you don’t want to. You can also ask us to start the registration for you in person and we can guide you through the steps.

✅ You’re eligible if you’ve had 2 or more visits to the same GP or practice in the past 2 years.

It’s a great step if you value having one trusted GP who knows your history.
