We also offer vaccinations for Q Fever, Yellow Fever and Travel Immunisations.
Chronic Disease Management
Chronic Disease Management enables GPs to plan and coordinate the health care of patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions, including patients with these conditions who require multidisciplinary, team-based care from a GP and at least two other health or care providers.
A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke. There is no list of eligible conditions; However, the CDM items are designed for patients who require a structured approach, including those requiring ongoing care from a multidisciplinary team.
Whether a patient is eligible for CDM services is a clinical judgement for the GP, taking into account the patient’s medical condition and care needs, as well as the general guidance set out in the MBS.
Patients who have a chronic medical condition and complex care needs and are being managed by their GP under a GP Management Plan (item 721) and Team Care Arrangements (item 723) are eligible for Medicare rebates for certain allied health services on referral from their GP.

Interpreter Services
Once it is determined that a patient may have special communication needs and the consent to use communication assistance is obtained, qualified medical interpreters are our preferred option and their use is encouraged.
The patient may consider that a family member or friend could interpret at the consultation; however, members of the patient’s family or a friend of the patient may not be a suitable translator, especially for sensitive clinical situations or where serious decisions have to be made; the use of children as interpreters is not encouraged.
The patient’s nominated interpreter or any professional services that have been used are noted on the patient’s health record which provides for the alert to the practice team to make prior arrangements for further consultations and treatments.
