For all vaccinations with a script, please fill the script at the pharmacy then bring it to the clinic and give to our reception staff. This will keep the medication at the correct temperature required. If the medication has not remained at the appropriate temperature, our staff may not be able to administer it.

Travel Immunisation Advice

It is important to get relevant travel advice and immunisation before you travel abroad to other countries. While you are likely to have the immunisations needed to live in Australia, there may be other immunisations you require to protect yourself from diseases prevalent at your destination. 

You should allow plenty of time prior to your departure date to speak to one of our experienced doctors to find out about the health risks you should be aware of whilst overseas. 

We may not be able to administer all vaccinations required, this can be discussed with your Doctor. 

Travel vaccinations are not covered by Medicare or the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme so you will need to obtain a prescription from your GP and collect from your pharmacy of choice. 

Our practice can provide you with a copy of your vaccination history and your Doctor can also prescribe you appropriate medications to take with you on your journey such as anti-malaria tablets.

What is a Mental Health Treatment Plan?

A Mental Health Treatment Plan (previously known as a ‘mental health care plan’) is a plan for people with a mental health disorder. If you have mental health issues, your doctor can write a plan for you.

The plan identifies what type of health care you need and spells out what you and your doctor have agreed you are aiming to achieve. It may also refer you to local mental health services.

Who is eligible for a Mental Health Treatment Plan?

A Mental Health Treatment Plan is available to you if you have a mental health disorder diagnosed by a doctor.

How do I get a Mental Health Treatment Plan?

Visit your doctor who will assess whether you have a mental health disorder and will benefit from a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

Your doctor will ask a few questions, fill in the plan and you will set goals together. When you make the booking, ask if a long appointment — 20 minutes or more — is needed.

What does a Mental Health Treatment Plan cover?

If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you will be entitled to Medicare rebates for up to 20 individual psychological appointments per calendar year. This gives you access — subsidised by Medicare — to certain psychologists, occupational therapists and social workers.

You can’t get Medicare rebates for all the sessions in one go. After your first 6 appointments, you need to see your doctor again for a mental health plan review. They can then decide if you need a referral for further sessions.

Is this a bulk-billed service?

Mental Health Treatment Plans are a bulk-billed service for those eligible for Medicare. This includes the appointment for creating the Treatment Plan and the appointment for the Treatment Plan Review only (made once the allocated sessions have been used, for the purpose of extension and extra referrals).

Any appointment on a Weekend or Public Holiday will incur a GAP Fee of $25 regardless of the appointment type.

This check-up includes:

Height

Weight

Head Circumference

Full Body Check
