22.01.2022 GOOD NEWS! Telehealth has been extended for another 6 months to March 2021. We strongly support the choice for patients of telephone or video consultations as well as face to face consultations as we all continue to manage this pandemic.... The Government directive to bulk bill certain patient groups will cease and from the 1st October our normal fees will apply. We want our patients to know while we are very grateful for this Government change as it will secure the viability of our practice, we are also aware that some of our patients will be under significant financial distress due to the pandemic and encourage these patients to speak directly with their Doctors. Many of our patients have expressed the hope that telehealth will be a service we continue to provide, and we have made the decision that we will offer telephone and video consultations for our patients ongoing.

For people with asthma or hay fever, especially those who experience wheezing or coughing with their hay fever, thunderstorm asthma can be sudden, serious and even life threatening. That’s why it’s important for people with asthma or hay fever to know about thunderstorm asthma and what they can do to help protect themselves durin...g grass pollen season. The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a campaign to help our local communities prepare for pollen season by better understanding thunderstorm asthma and the steps they can take to help reduce their risk of thunderstorm asthma. As this year’s grass pollen season approaches, it is important to have a conversation with your patients about the importance of managing asthma and hay fever, and making sure that they know what they can do to help protect themselves this grass pollen season. Information for the community is available on the Better Health Channel www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/thunderstormasthma Information and resources for health professionals is available on the Health website https://www2.health.vic.gov.au//climat/thunderstorm-asthma
