BULK BILLING UPDATE 📣
From 1st November 2025, the Government has introduced a new Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Payment Program. While this is a positive step, the incentive does not cover the full cost of providing high-quality care our patients deserve. Therefore, our practice will continue to charge an appropriate out-of-pocket fee for some consultations to ensure we can keep delivering high-quality care to our community. For a full list of fees and eligibility, please visit our website

*Practice Update*

Some of our doctors are now using secure AI technology to help assist them with note taking during consultations.

The system listens during your visit and creates a draft of the consultation notes, which the doctor carefully reviews and edits to ensure accuracy.

This allows the doctor to focus more on you, rather than typing, and can improve the completeness and accuracy of your record.

Your privacy is always protected – all data is securely stored and handled under strict confidentiality protocols.

You have the right to decline the use of AI during your consultation. If you choose to opt out, please speak with your doctor or our friendly reception team.
