⛑️ Emergency Response Training! We believe that providing the best care goes beyond appointments and treatments. Last night, some of our team carried out some on-site CPR training. Being prepared to respond quickly and confidently in an emergency is a responsibility we take seriously. This training ensures our staff can act calmly, effectively, and safely if someone ever needs immediate assistance.

❤️ We are so proud of our team for giving up their evening to refresh their skills and strengthen their confidence. Keeping our patients and community safe will always be top priority. Big Thanks to Robyn from R.O.B training for coming out!

🥇 And while we’re talking about supporting local, if you think we do a pretty good job, and now you know we can handle the dramatic fainting scenes too 🤭 don’t forget to vote for us in the Local Business Awards! Your support means the world to our team 🫶🏼

❤️February is Heart Health and Research Month ❤️

🧑‍⚕️Bargo Doctors wish to use this month as a timely reminder of the importance of a healthy heart and what you can do about it, encouraging everyone (45 or older) to get a Heart Health Check.

🤔A Heart Health Check is a 20-minute health assessment of your heart and associated risk factors. It measures your risk of heart attack over the next few years and how you can reduce this risk. Your doctor can do this quickly and simply, with a discussion of other risk factors including high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and family medical history. An annual Heart Health Check is recommended by the Heart Foundation for everyone 45 years and older.

❤️‍🩹Coronary heart disease can hit any one of any age of any background. Here are six steps you can take to help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease:

🚬Quit smoking
🥗Follow a healthy balanced diet
🚶‍♀️‍➡️Be active
💪Maintain a healthy weight
🥂Limit alcohol intake

🫀See a GP and do a Heart Health Check (if recommended)
The good news is you can take these positive steps to reduce the risk with the help of your doctor. And there is no better time to take your first step than during Heart Health Month.

🩷🌸Cervical Cancer Screening Month 🌸🩷

🚺This month at Bargo Doctors we wish to raise awareness of cervical cancer and vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV), the main cause of cervical cancer.

🩷Cervical Cancer Awareness Month aims to highlight the importance of increasing access to HPV vaccines, regular screening, and state-of-the-art treatment for cervical cancer in its early stages.

🚺Cervical cancer in its early stages may present no symptoms. This is why regular cervical cancer screening is important, from the age of 30 years to check for HPV, even with having the vaccination. Women who test negative for HPV should get screened again every 5 to 10 years.
Women living with HIV should be screened for HPV every 3 years from the age of 25.

🌸Know the symptoms of cervical cancer - See a doctor straight away if you experience:
🌷 Irregular bleeding between periods, after the menopause or after sexual in*******se
🌷Increased or foul-smelling vaginal discharge
🌷 Persistent pain in the back, legs or pelvis
🌷 Weight loss, fatigue and loss of appetite
🌷 Vaginal discomfort
🌷 Swelling of legs

🌸Bargo Doctors wishes to emphasise the importance of having regular screenings and staying up to date with your cervical health appointments, we offer in clinic pap smears and referrals for more investigative testing.

🩷To book an appointment or any inquiries please call us on 4684 2168, alternatively you can book via Health Engine or our website https://bargodoctors.com.au/

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer if caught early.
Regular screening is crucial to detect changes in the cervix that could, if untreated, develop into cancer.

📣IMPORTANT PATIENT NOTICE!
📆From 1st November 2025, significant changes apply to Medicare bulk billing arrangements.
🤔WHAT’S STAYING THE SAME?
We will continue to bulk‑bill all Medicare‑eligible service items when no private fee applies and your visit is for a service covered by Medicare.
🤔WHAT’S CHANGING?
• The Government is expanding eligibility for bulk‑billing incentives so that all Medicare‑eligible patients, not just children or concession card holders, are included from 1 November 2025.
• A new incentive for practices – the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) – means practices that bulk‑bill all eligible services for all Medicare‑eligible patients may receive additional Medicare payments.
• Important for you as a patient: Some services offered may not be eligible under Medicare (for example, non‑referred attendances or services already covered under other arrangements) and a gap fee or private fee may apply.
👩‍⚕️IN SHORT:
We aim to bulk‑bill whenever the service is Medicare‑eligible and we can. If you are attending for a service that is not fully covered by Medicare, we will inform you before your appointment about any out‑of‑pocket cost (gap/private fee).
🫶Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate these changes together.
