February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month — a time to focus on raising awareness about this serious condition.

Ovarian cancer often presents with vague symptoms, including:
✔️ Persistent bloating
✔️ Abdominal or pelvic pain
✔️ Feeling full quickly or difficulty eating
✔️ Frequent or urgent need to urinate
✔️ Constipation or diarrhoea
✔️ Tiredness
✔️ Unexplained weight loss or gain

If you’re experiencing these symptoms and they’re new, persistent, or unusual for you, it’s important to see your doctor.

While there’s no screening test for ovarian cancer, early action and a thorough medical evaluation can make a difference. Let’s start the conversation and support those impacted.

Did you know the main reason General Practitioners run late is because patients do not book the right appointment length for their needs?

Sometimes it is hard to know what appointment length you will need and the doctors working at Crafter Health understand that.

A standard General Practice appointment is 15mins. The clock starts when the doctor opens your medical file, before they invite you into the consultation room, and stops once all administration tasks are completed.

Booking an appropriate length appointment for your needs is the first step to reducing wait times for everyone.

If you are unsure what appointment length you need, please see our website for more information - https://www.crafter.health/appointments/

Globally, January is recognised as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.

Cervical cancer is thankfully on the decline thanks to good vaccination rates, however regular screening still ensures abnormalities can be dealt with before they become bigger issues. 💉🌟

Early-stage cervical disease is typically asymptomatic, meaning you likely won’t feel any different while these changes are occurring.

🔍 Asymptomatic screening is typically every 5 years, unless told otherwise. Speak with your GP to clarify what time interval is recommended for you.

🚩 Symptomatic investigation is recommended if you experience “red flag” changes, regardless of when your last routine screen was performed. These symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, including bleeding after s*x, between periods, or after menopause, persistent or unusual vaginal discharge, or a visibly abnormal appearing cervix.

⚡ The GPs consulting at Crafter Health are here to support you through either pathway, providing you with the most appropriate clinical investigations for your needs. 👩‍⚕️🤝

The Australian Medicare Safety Net resets every year on January 1st.

The Australian Federal Government, through Medicare, provides you a rebate to help cover your out of hospital health care costs.

The ‘Medicare Safety Nets’ is an attempt by the Federal Government to provide extra financial support to those Australians with more health care needs.

The safety nets kick in once your gap amount reaches a certain limit per year, resulting in you paying a smaller gap per service until the end of the year.

There are 2 safety net thresholds:
Original safety net threshold - same limit for everyone and slightly increases your medicare rebate per service.
Extended safety net threshold - there is a different limit depending on whether you are a concession card holder or not. Once this limit is reached, your medicare rebate increases substantially, reducing your gap amount.

Families registered as a family with medicare share the one safety limit as a family.

To learn more, including the current safety net limits, check out:
https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/medicare-safety-nets

Please contact your local Member of Parliament if you disagree with the gap amount you need to pay or the safety net limits set - as only the Australian Government can change your medicare rebate.
