Did you know that having a relationship with a regular GP, clinic or primary care team can lead to better overall health outcomes, as well as improving access and patient experience?

One of the ways to improve funding and access to ongoing care for chronic conditions with your GP and other healthcare providers is to use GP Chronic Condition Management plans or mental health care plans for management of eligible conditions.

A valid care plan is needed to access Medicare funding for nominated allied health as part of your care team.

MyMedicare registration means that ONLY your chosen practice of GP can create these plans under Medicare - and prevents use of these Medicare item numbers without your full knowledge and consent elswhere (which sadly can occur).

For more information on potential benefits for patients and clinics, have a look at our blog post: https://www.neighbourhoodmedical.com.au/blog/mymedicare

ADHD update:
From 1st December 2025 GPs in Queensland have been allowed to prescribe medication for ADHD for all patients without psychiatry input.

At Neighbourhood Medical we are supportive of this change which will improve access to care for many people.

However, ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition and not all GPs have the experience necessary to confidently and appropriately manage this condition independently.

We strive to make our clinic welcoming to all patients and provide holistic care. You can read about our approach to ADHD assessment for kids and adults in Dr Nicole White's latest blog:
