PROSTATE AWARENESS

Talk to your doctor about testing if you are:
50 years old (average risk) ✅
45 years old (if you have a family history) 🧬
Having any concerns

You may be eligible for a Medicare-subsidised test. Speak to your GP today about getting a referral. 💙

If you have a prostate, knowing your risk is a non-negotiable step.

👨‍🦱 Happy International Men’s Day!

Today we celebrate the men in our community — our dads, brothers, sons, partners, friends, and colleagues.

International Men’s Day is a reminder to pause and acknowledge the contribution men make to our families, workplaces, and communities, while also highlighting the importance of men’s health and wellbeing.

🩺 A few important reminders for our male patients:

➡Book regular check-ups — early detection saves lives.
➡Look after your mental health — talking to someone is a sign of strength.
➡Stay active and eat well — small daily habits make a big difference.
➡Don’t ignore symptoms — your health matters.

Let’s use today to encourage the men in our lives to take care of their physical and emotional wellbeing, and to reach out for support when they need it.

To all the men in our community — we appreciate you. 💙

Prostate health is an important part of men’s wellbeing, especially as they age. The prostate is a small gland located just below the bladder, and it plays a vital role in the male reproductive system.

📣 Important Update for Our Patients
We’ve received a few questions about the Government’s new Bulk Billing Incentive and wanted to take a moment to explain how it affects our clinic.

While this initiative offers additional support for some bulk-billed services, the increase does not cover the full cost of providing high-quality medical care. Running a modern medical practice involves rising costs — including qualified staff, medical equipment, compliance requirements, and maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for patients.

To ensure we can continue offering longer consultations, continuity of care, and access to experienced doctors, The Medical Centre of Gympie will remain a mixed billing practice. This means that while some appointments may still be bulk billed (for example, specific concession or care plan visits), most consultations will continue to attract a private fee with a Medicare rebate available.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we strive to maintain the standard of care our community deserves. 💙

If you have any questions about fees or rebates, our reception team is always happy to assist or you can discuss the fees with your doctor at your time of consultation.

Taking action early can improve your wellbeing, help you manage stress, and give you tools to cope with life’s challenges. 💪
