BVMP Seasons Greetings
In April next year Dr Rianna Xu will be going on maternity leave expecting her third child. We wish Rianna and her husband James all the best.
We are fortunate to have a new GP Registrar, Dr Leon Ong, joining BVMP in February. Dr Ong will be working three days a week.
The Federal Government has introduced a new voluntary patient registration initiative called ‘MyMedicare’.
This program is aimed at strengthening the relationship between patients and their GP.
By registering for MyMedicare you’ll get access to:
If you use telehealth services then we recommend you register with MyMedicare to be able to access longer telehealth consultations in the future.
Patients can register for MyMedicare through MyGov or you can choose to complete a registration form by clicking here or ask at our reception desk. We will still be able to provide health services to you if you choose not to register with our practice.
As we enter the first half of a new year we will be asking for patients who hold a concession card (Health Care Card or Pension Card) to pay for their first two visits in this new six month period and then all subsequent visits in that six month period will be bulk billed.
If you have a concession card please make sure the reception staff have your current details so you can take advantage of this arrangement.
The morning drop-in clinic will be operating every day during the festive season except for the Public Holidays. Our opening hours will be as follows:
Monday 25 December CLOSED
Tuesday 26 December CLOSED
Wednesday 27 December 9:00am – 12:00pm
Thursday 28 December 9:00am – 12:00pm
Friday 29 December 9:00am – 12:00pm
Monday 1 January CLOSED
If you need a doctor urgently outside of our opening hours, please call 000 for emergency service. If you require medical attention you can also contact South East Regional Hospital on 6491 9999.
Best wishes to you and your families for a happy, safe and meaningful Christmas.
