WHAT IS NEWS AT YOUR FAMILY PRACTICE?
WE WELCOME DR SI CHIU LI FOR 2026
Dr Li came on board the SHFP team in August 2025 and will continue his placement as registrar well into 2026. Dr Si completed his medical degree in 2020. Prior to commencing his training in general practice he worked at several hospitals across NSW including St. George, Sutherland and Nepean Hospital. He has special interests in preventative health and men's health, and recently completed his Graduate Diploma in Child Health

WORKCOVER MATTERS
All Workcover claims are now managed by patients. This means that patients pay for Workcover related services on the date of service, and receive reimbursement directly from their insurer.
SKIN CHECKS AND EXCISION CLINICS
We run dedicated Skin Clinics with Dr Vaswani.
Skin checks allow healthcare professionals to identify suspicious moles, lesions, or abnormalities that might indicate the presence of skin cancer. Early detection enables timely treatment, significantly increasing the chances of successful outcomes and reducing the need for invasive interventions.
Book in once you notice any new spots or changes to your skin, in order to allow early detection.
Ask your doctor if you are unsure, as it is always safer to check.
What is My Medicare and Voluntary Patient Registration?
You can register your preferred General Practice with MyMedicare through one of the following methods:
1. The MyGov website https://login.my.gov.au/las/mygov-login or
2. Using the Medicare Express Plus App on your mobile device.
3. Through a paper form found here or at reception.
When you have your myGov account linked to Medicare, you can download and use the Medicare Express Plus app to register with our practice through My Medicare.
Why should I register through My Medicare?
By registering through MyMedicare with the practice of your choice, you as a valued patient will allow the practice of choice to access a range of benefits, including:
- longer MBS-funded telephone consultations
- potential for bulk billed consultations, and
- tailored care for complex chronic diseases, such as care plans in the future.
Please let us know if you REGISTER elsewhere so we may transfer your care. Thank you
MyMedicare is centred around a new voluntary patient registration (VPR) system that will be linked to extra Medicare benefits for you.
Changes will be introduced in stages, and VPR is the first step.
Patients with a valid Medicare or DVA card can register with their preferred General Practice, and can withdraw any time.
Medication related concerns
We offer wholistic care with the help of Medication Reviews with our Consultant Pharmacist. This is a complementary service for patients starting a new medicine, those recently discharged from hospital, those confused by their medicines, dosing times or alternative supplements.
With 15 years of experience working in community pharmacy prior to her appointment at our practice, Therese is accredited to conduct home medication reviews.
Utilise this bulk-billed service if you have any questions or changes.

Wearing a face mask can help protect you, our doctors and those around you.
Face masks stop viruses from spreading through the air. This means you are less likely to catch or spread the virus. You ask that you wear a mask in the practice if you are presenting with any flu-light symptoms. If you have tested positive to COVID-19 we ask you advise reception when booking your appointment and arrange for it to be via telehealth to protect doctors and staff.
States and territories have different rules have eased in relation to the use of masks.
It's a good idea to wear a face mask when:
- you present with flu-like symptoms and need to attend indoor public spaces including public transport, clinics and hospitals
- you are unable to physically distance from others
- you have tested positive, or think you have COVID-19, and are around other people.
