Vaping and Cannabis Products
Our practice currently does not have any prescribers who prescribe vaping or cannabis products, and we have recently updated our policy around this. This is due to their poor evidence of benefit, and high cost. We are happy to support our patients in their goals of reducing and ceasing harmful usage of all substances.MyMedicare
MyMedicare is a voluntary patient registration system that aims to formalise the relationship between patients, their general practice, general practitioner (GP) and primary care teams.
Registering in MyMedicare will tell your general practice that you see them as your regular care team and this will help us to provide you with better care. You’ll be able to access longer telephone telehealth consultations with any GP at your registered practice.
When you register in MyMedicare, you and our practice will receive access to new benefits to help us deliver more of the care you need.
It’s free and voluntary to register in MyMedicare, and registration is open to Australians with a Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran Card.
If you are registered in MyMedicare we will bulk bill all appointments for children under 16 years old and concession card holders during our private billing times.
Billing Policy Reminder
