From 1 July 2025, the Australian Government introduced MyMedicare — a program to help patients receive more coordinated, ongoing care from their chosen GP clinic.
You don’t have to register for MyMedicare.

However, if you choose to register, it’s important to sign up with the clinic you want to manage your ongoing care plans. If you register with another clinic, we will not be able to provide your chronic disease care plans — even if you normally see us.
Patients registered with MyMedicare are eligible for:
• Longer telehealth GP consultations (Level C & D)
• Medicare-funded care for chronic and complex conditions
• Coordinated, personalised care from their chosen GP clinic

If you want to:
• Keep accessing longer telehealth appointments
• Have your regular GP manage your care plans
• Receive regular reviews and support for chronic conditions
➡ Then consider registering for MyMedicare — and choose our clinic when you do.

How to register:
Log in to MyGov > Medicare > MyMedicare > Register
• Or ask us at reception for a paper form
• We’re here to keep your care continuous and connected. Registering with us ensures we can continue providing the services you rely on.

🧠 Dementia Action Week, 15- 21 September

This year’s theme: “Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly Future”. This initiative aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage community support for those living with dementia.

Over 433,000 Australians are living with dementia, a number expected to double in the coming decades. Despite this, many still perceive dementia as a normal part of aging. In reality, dementia is a brain condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior, and is not a normal part of aging.

Your GP can play a key role in supporting those with dementia. From early diagnosis and medication management to coordinating care and supporting families, GPs ensure a comprehensive approach to managing dementia. They also provide referrals to specialists and support services to improve quality of life.

Act now—book an appointment today to discuss dementia care and support with your GP.

A conversation can change a life, and that includes a conversation with your GP.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure about your mental health, reaching out to your GP is a vital first step. Your GP will conduct a comprehensive mental health check, taking the time to listen and understand what you're going through.

They can provide tailored suggestions, whether it’s connecting you with mental health professionals, offering coping strategies, or discussing treatment options. Starting the conversation can open the door to the support and care you need to move forward.

Don’t wait—your GP is here to help you prioritise your mental wellbeing.

• Be kind to your mind: Mental health is just as important as physical health. Your GP can help you uncover ways to be resilient and empowered throughout life.
