Did you know that having a relationship with a regular GP, clinic or primary care team can lead to better overall health outcomes, as well as improving access and patient experience?

One of the ways to improve funding and access to ongoing care for chronic conditions with your GP and other healthcare providers is to use GP Chronic Condition Management plans or mental health care plans for management of eligible conditions.

A valid care plan is needed to access Medicare funding for nominated allied health as part of your care team.

MyMedicare registration means that ONLY your chosen practice of GP can create these plans under Medicare - and prevents use of these Medicare item numbers without your full knowledge and consent elswhere (which sadly can occur).

For more information on potential benefits for patients and clinics, have a look at our blog post: https://www.neighbourhoodmedical.com.au/blog/mymedicare

We are delighted to announce the addition of another experienced GP to the team: Dr Morgan Etienne will start consulting at Neighbourhood Medical on Monday 9th of February 2026, including regular availability on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays - no need to miss work for appointments!

Morgan completed her medical training through the University of Queensland in 2013, and was awarded Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2023.

Prior to working in General Practice, Dr Morgan spent time in specialty Paediatric training, working in hospitals across South East Queensland.

Her areas of interest include:

ADHD update:
From 1st December 2025 GPs in Queensland have been allowed to prescribe medication for ADHD for all patients without psychiatry input.

At Neighbourhood Medical we are supportive of this change which will improve access to care for many people.

However, ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition and not all GPs have the experience necessary to confidently and appropriately manage this condition independently.

We strive to make our clinic welcoming to all patients and provide holistic care. You can read about our approach to ADHD assessment for kids and adults in Dr Nicole White's latest blog:
