New Registrars
We are thrilled to welcome two new registrars to our team for 2020. We welcome back Dr. Steven Pinolo who was with us previously in 2019. Dr. Steven will be with us from February to August 2020. His interests include acute and emergency medicine, chronic disease management, dermatology, and practical procedures (plasters, wound care, sutures and more). We also welcome Dr. Mariam Abbass for the first time. She will be with us until February 2021. Alongside family medicine, her special interest is in psychiatry and also skin procedures/skin cancers. You can find more information on our two new registrars in the 'Our Team' section of our website. |

21st Birthday 2020 marks our 21st birthday and we thank the community for your trust and will honor our commitment to you to do the best we may in caring for you. We hope to be about for another 21 years and adapt to changes as we welcome G.P registrars to reinvigorate us and bring us new ideas ! |

Fee Changes
From January 2020 most doctors will charge people with a Health Care Card a $10 , $20 or $30 gap depending on the time and complexity of the consultation. Some doctors currently do not offer bulk billing to children under aged 16, and this will apply more broadly to those not on low income pensions from 2020. NOTE: This is due to the persisting medicare rebate freeze and the reduced medicare rebate that we will receive when we bulk bill with health care cards and pension cards from 2020. |

Welcome Back Dushy
Welcome back Dr Dushy Blanchard as a permanent doctor! We are privileged to see Dushy back after having completed her Fellowship of the college of G.Ps and look forward to many more years with us and her patients. Dushy looks forward to providing continuity of care and being a "lifetime G.P" for her patients and the community. We are glad to find someone who fits the ethos of the clinic well and is so skilled at her job! |
