Happy New Year everyone 🌞
We are officially (since yesterday) back and kicking off 2026 business as usual!

The morning began with a quick team meeting with Dr Emir Ashour and our Practice Owner Jono, and we are just days away from launching a brand new pelvic floor wellness service for our patients.

Big things coming very soon 🤍

A new year brings fresh Medicare funded support for your health 🤝

If you live with a chronic condition, the start of a new calendar year means your GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) resets, giving you access to up to 5 Medicare rebated allied health visits again.

What is a GPCCMP?
A GPCCMP is a plan created by your GP and nurse to help manage a long term or ongoing condition. It looks at your overall health needs and supports coordinated care between your GP and allied health providers.

What conditions can a GPCCMP help with?
This can include (but is not limited to):
• diabetes
• endometriosis
• ADHD
• asthma
• arthritis
• chronic pain
• osteoporosis
• mental health conditions
• cardiovascular conditions
• and many other ongoing conditions

What does a GPCCMP give you access to?
✔️ Up to 5 Medicare rebated allied health visits per calendar year
✔️ Care from providers such as physiotherapists, dietitians, podiatrists, exercise physiologists and more
✔️ A coordinated care plan tailored to your health goals
✔️ Ongoing three monthly bulk billed GP reviews to keep your care on track

If you already had a plan last year, your rebates reset from 1 January.
If you need your referrals updated, give us a shout and we can help organise this for you.

If you have never had a GPCCMP, now is a great time to talk to your GP.

Chat to our team or book an appointment to see if a GPCCMP is right for you.

We’re thrilled to introduce a new era of cosmetic care at Next Practice Prahran.

Our newest service brings you doctor-led cosmetic treatments performed exclusively by Dr Mohammed Al Naima (Dr Mo). With over 20 years of global medical experience, Dr Mo combines advanced aesthetic training with GP expertise in skin health, skin cancer detection, and procedural medicine, delivering care that is precise, safe, and tailored to you.

Dr Mo’s medical journey spans three continents and includes operating a successful cosmetic clinic in Ballarat before joining Next Practice Prahran. His philosophy is simple: treatments should feel natural, balanced, and tailored to you. By blending science with artistry, Dr Mo ensures every procedure is performed with precision and care, with your well-being at the heart of the process.

What can you expect?
Our treatments address common concerns such as forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, jawline refinement, and subtle enhancements like lip flips and brow lifts. Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effect visible at around two weeks. Most treatments last 3–4 months, and Dr Mo offers a complimentary review within two weeks to ensure your results are balanced and tailored.

Appointments with Dr Mo are available in the lead-up to the festive season, ideal timing if you’d like to explore treatment options before summer.

Give our team a call to chat further, or check out our website for more detais. 🤍

📣 Important update about Medicare changes from 1 November

You may have seen recent government announcements about expanded bulk billing incentives for GPs starting 1 November 2025.

At Next Practice Prahran, we’ve carefully reviewed these changes and will continue operating as a private billing clinic. While most appointments will remain privately billed, we will continue to bulk bill specific services to support accessibility and continuity of care.

We will continue to bulk bill:
• Child immunisations (scheduled with the nurse)
• Flu and COVID vaccines
• Nurse-led chronic disease care plans and health assessments

Why we’re not moving to full bulk billing:
We believe that quality, time and continuity of care matter. To provide the level of care our patients know and deserve, we need to ensure our clinic remains sustainable and our team supported.

If we moved to bulk billing every appointment, we’d have to shorten consultations and reduce services — and that’s simply not the kind of medicine we believe in. We’re proud to offer longer appointments, genuine connection and thoughtful care that prioritises people over volume.

By maintaining our private billing model, we can:
• Offer the time and attention you deserve
• Support our team and reinvest in staff, equipment and services
• Provide comprehensive, high-quality care for our community

What this means for you:
You’ll continue to see the same team, experience the same high-quality care and follow our existing billing policy.

We remain committed to transparent fees, compassionate care and open communication.

Thank you for continuing to support a model of care that puts patients — not Medicare policy — at the centre of what we do.

If you have any questions about how these changes may affect you, please contact our reception team or visit our website for more information.

With good health and gratitude,

Next Practice Prahran

Dr Gihan de Mel spent his lunchtime today filming for Swiftio, his other passion project outside of consults.

Swiftio is rethinking how aged care is coordinated, helping clinicians and nurses connect, communicate, and deliver care seamlessly (and swiftly!) through an innovative, clinician-led tech platform.

We loved seeing our space turned into a mini film set and being part of this exciting side-chapter for Dr Gihan and the Swiftio team.

Built by clinicians, for clinicians, and proudly supported by our Next Practice Prahran family! 💫

🎃 A Real Horror Story: When a Mole Turns Dangerous

Australia’s love affair with the sun comes at a cost, and one of the creepiest health threats doesn’t come from the shadows, but from your own skin.

With one of the highest melanoma rates in the world, the danger could be hiding where you least expect it.

What is melanoma?
Melanoma starts in the pigment-making cells of the skin (melanocytes). It can look like an ordinary mole but grow quickly and spread if left unchecked.

And here’s the spooky part, it doesn’t just appear on sun-exposed areas. It can show up under a fingernail, on your scalp, or even the soles of your feet.

⚠️ The risk is bigger than you think
- Nearly 19,000 Australians are expected to be diagnosed with melanoma this year.
- More than two in three Australians will face some form of skin cancer in their lifetime.
- Every year of unprotected exposure adds up — damage builds silently beneath your skin.

💀 Why this should send chills
When caught early, melanoma survival rates are high. But if a mole goes unnoticed, it can spread fast — the kind of horror you don’t see coming until it’s too late.

What to watch for
🔹 A mole changing colour, size, or shape
🔹 A spot that looks different from the rest (“the ugly duckling”)
🔹 Any sore or mole that itches, bleeds, or won’t heal
🔹 Spots in unusual areas... under nails, on feet, or scalp

How to take control
- Head to our Instagram to keep reading!

Because the scariest things are the ones we don’t see. 💀

NOW OPEN

Having opened the doors on the 18th February 2019, we've breathed new life into the iconic Prahran Station Hotel, conveniently located opposite the train station.

We have re-imagined the traditional fit-out of a medical centre to transform the space into a relaxing, modern haven which strives to exceed the needs of our patients.

We are on a mission to offer a new kind of thinking on how to manage your care. Much more than just a check-up or a quick written prescription, with our state of the art technology, we are able to provide 'wrap around' care to all our patients. At Next Practice Prahran you can get personalised health plans, see your metrics in real time on the consult room screen and manage your healthcare anywhere with our Next Practice app.
