We are proud to share that Dr Shannen De Mello has passed her GP Fellowship exams! She is an amazing GP and a great asset to Sage Medical Centre. Dr Shannen is planning to continue working with us as a fully qualified GP for the foreseeable future. She consults on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and is already very popular amongst our patients.

Much to our disappointment, from the 1st of November, the government is pushing ahead with big cutbacks to mental health rebates for patients. This means that you will get a lower rebate from Medicare when you attend your GP for a mental health plan review.

To help maximise the rebates for our patients at Sage Medical, we are expanding our patient’s access to Chronic Condition Management Plans for eligible patients. These plans will allow you access to higher Medicare rebates when you’re registered with our practice through MyMedicare.

Register today via the link below to access higher rebates from tomorrow:

Meningitis cases are rising all across Australia this year, with 56 cases so far. Winter and Spring are the peak time for meningitis cases every year. Notably, four cases have been reported in Victoria in the last four weeks alone, three of which have been in the 0-4years age group.

Given the rapid progression and potentially devastating consequences of Meningococcal B disease, prevention remains a key priority.

Meningitis B can affect individuals of any age, but those at highest risk include infants under 1 year, children aged 1-4 years, followed by adolescents/young adults aged 15-24 years.

Please consider booking your children with our nurses at Sage Medical for a Meningococcal B (Bexsero) vaccine, in addition to their government funded vaccines. Vaccination can play a vital role in protecting against this disease.

Bookings can be made either online at https://sagemedical.au/ or by calling 03 8606 3206.
