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. |

Fee Changes
From 1st January 2020 we will begin decreasing the number of patients we presently bulk bill. Doctors will be introducing a discounted private fee that will apply to patients on a current Health Care Card. Some doctors will also be charging children under 16 and Pension card holders. DVA patients will not be affected by these changes. Doctors’ discretion will always be used and patients who are experiencing financial difficulty can always discuss this with their Doctor. 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. |
