Flagstaff Hill Medical Centre provides family medical care to the local community

We are an accredited general practice with highly trained and enthusiastic staff. Our doctors, nurses and allied health clinicians bring a broad range of services to patients. Free parking and shopping facilities opposite the medical centre makes Flagstaff Hill Medical Centre a convenient and easy choice. In addition to consultations in the rooms, our doctors can provide home visits as needed (to existing patients) and attend local aged care facilities. A wide range of nursing services are provided at the practice which include child health checks, immunisations, spirometry, ECG, wound dresssings, medicals and health assessments. We also provide comprehensive programmes for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and asthma. Nurses also visit our over 75 year old patients in their homes for their annual home health assessments. You may like the convenience of our on-line bookings, giving you the flexibility to choose your own appointment time with the doctor of your choice. If you are feeling unwell over the weekend or during the night, we have on-line appointments available for you first thing in the morning. We are an accredited practice which means that we have to meet a high standard with regard to clinical services, internal administration, safety, patient rights, sterilisation and infection control, risk assessment and continual quality improvement. Our practice manager, Helen Siegertsz, was recognised in 2013 for her skill in practice management when she was awarded both the State and National Practice Manager of the Year Award. With many established practices unable to take new patients, this is an opportunity to make Flagstaff Hill Medical Centre your family's health care provider.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Australia, with 1 in 7 women expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. While some risk factors like age and family history can't be changed, many lifestyle choices can help reduce your risk.

What you can do:
• Limit alcohol consumption: Even small amounts can increase risk.
• Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or obese, especially after menopause, increases risk.
• Stay active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days.
• Breastfeed if possible: This can slightly lower risk.
• Don't smoke: Smoking is linked to increased risk, particularly in younger women.

Regular self-exams and being aware of any changes can help with early detection.

Screening saves lives! offers women over 40 a free mammogram every two years, and those aged 50–74 are actively invited to screen.

Your GP is here to help. Discuss any concerns or symptoms with your GP. They can guide you through risk assessment, screening options, and preventive strategies tailored to you.

Book an appointment with your GP today to discuss your breast health.

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.
