Measles update for the Blacktown community

If you or your child have symptoms please call ahead before arriving at Kildare Road Medical Centre. 

NSW Health has advised that there has been an increase in measles cases reported in Sydney. While measles remains uncommon in Australia due to routine childhood vaccination, cases can still occur, particularly among people who are not fully immunised or who have recently travelled overseas.

This update is intended to provide general information for the Blacktown community about measles, including symptoms to be aware of and when it may be appropriate to seek medical advice.

What is measles?

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that spreads through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or breathes. The virus can remain in the air for some time after a person has left a room, making it easy to spread in household and community settings.

Because of its contagious nature, measles can spread quickly among people who are not immune.

Symptoms to be aware of

Measles symptoms usually develop around 7–14 days after exposure. Common symptoms include:

  • Fever

  • Runny nose or cough

  • Red, sore, or watery eyes

  • Feeling generally unwell or tired

  • A rash that usually starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body

Symptoms may vary between individuals, and not everyone will experience them in the same way.

Who should seek medical advice?

Some people may be at higher risk of complications from measles and may benefit from early medical advice. This includes:

  • Babies and young children

  • Pregnant women

  • People who are not fully vaccinated

  • People with weakened immune systems

If you are unsure about your measles vaccination status, or whether you or your child may be at risk, a GP can review your history and provide individual advice.

What to do if you are unwell

If you or your child develop symptoms that could be measles, it is important not to attend a medical centre without calling first. Calling ahead allows staff to provide guidance and make arrangements that help reduce the risk of spreading infection to others.

You may also be advised to follow guidance from NSW Health regarding testing, isolation, or monitoring symptoms.

How a GP can help

A GP can support patients by:

  • Reviewing vaccination history, including MMR vaccination information

  • Providing personalised advice based on age, health status, and risk factors

  • Advising whether testing or further assessment is needed

  • Offering guidance on symptom management and isolation if required

GP advice is tailored to each individual situation and may differ depending on circumstances. See more details for GPs consulting at KRMC here.

If you have questions about measles, measles symptoms, or measles vaccination in Australia, consider speaking with your GP for advice relevant to your situation.

How to Get a Bulk Billed Mental Health Care Plan in Blacktown

If you’re looking for a bulk billed Mental Health Care Plan in Blacktown, the process is straightforward when you know what’s required. A Mental Health Care Plan is prepared by a GP and allows eligible patients to access Medicare-subsidised mental health support, such as psychology services.

Below is a simple guide to how it works and where you can go locally.

If you already know you would like to see a bulk billing GP please visit our HotDoc booking page here or contact us here.

Step 1: Make sure you have a valid Medicare card

To receive a bulk billed Mental Health Care Plan, you need:

  • A valid Medicare card
  • Medicare eligibility at the time of your appointment

Medicare covers the GP consultation used to assess and prepare a Mental Health Care Plan when it meets Medicare (MBS) requirements.

Step 2: Book an appointment at a bulk billing practice

Not all practices bulk bill Mental Health Care Plan appointments. To avoid out-of-pocket costs for the GP consultation, it’s important to attend a bulk billing medical practice.

At Kildare Road Medical Centre, all eligible Medicare (MBS) GP consultations are bulk billed, including Mental Health Care Plan appointments where Medicare criteria are met.

Step 3: Book a longer GP appointment

Mental Health Care Plans require time for:

  • A mental health assessment
  • Discussion of symptoms and concerns
  • Care planning and referrals

When booking, select a longer consultation if available. This helps ensure there is enough time to complete the assessment properly.

Step 4: Attend your mental health assessment

During your appointment, the GP will:

  • Discuss your mental health concerns (such as anxiety, depression, stress, or sleep issues)
  • Take a relevant medical and mental health history
  • Assess whether a Mental Health Care Plan is appropriate for you

If clinically appropriate, the GP can prepare a Mental Health Care Plan during the consultation.

Step 5: Receive your Mental Health Care Plan and referral

If a Mental Health Care Plan is created, it may include:

  • A structured care plan
  • Referral to a psychologist or other allied health professional
  • Access to Medicare-subsidised mental health sessions (up to the Medicare-allowed number per calendar year)

The GP will also discuss follow-up and review appointments as needed.

Is the Mental Health Care Plan bulk billed?

At Kildare Road Medical Centre:

  • Eligible Medicare GP consultations are bulk billed
  • This includes Mental Health Care Plan appointments that meet Medicare requirements

Please note:

  • Medicare rebates apply to the GP consultation
  • Allied health providers (such as psychologists) set their own fees, with Medicare rebates applied to eligible sessions

Who can benefit from a Mental Health Care Plan?

Mental Health Care Plans may assist people experiencing:

  • Anxiety or low mood
  • Depression
  • Stress and burnout
  • Adjustment difficulties
  • Emotional wellbeing concerns
  • Ongoing mental health support needs

The GP will determine suitability based on individual circumstances.

Where can I get a bulk billed Mental Health Care Plan in Blacktown?

If you’re unsure which appointment type to select, reception staff can assist.

Take the first step toward support

Copper-IUD-Feature-Image-for-Blog-post.png

Copper IUDs in Blacktown: A Hormone-Free Long-Term Contraception Option

For patients looking for reliable, hormone-free birth control, a copper IUD in Blacktown is one of the most effective long-term contraception options available. It offers years of protection without altering your natural hormones and can be an excellent choice for people who prefer or need a non-hormonal method.

At Kildare Road Medical Centre, bulk billed copper IUD services are available with Dr Angelica Logarta-Scott an experienced women’s health GP, making this option both accessible and affordable for eligible patients.

To book an appointment an appointment with Dr Logarta-Scott please visit HotDoc here or contact us here.

What Is a Copper IUD and How Does It Work?

A copper intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device placed inside the uterus by a trained GP. It is wrapped in copper, which acts as a natural spermicide.

The copper IUD works by:

  • Creating an environment in the uterus that is toxic to sperm
  • Preventing fertilisation
  • Interfering with sperm movement and survival

Unlike hormonal IUDs, copper IUDs do not release hormones, meaning your natural menstrual cycle continues.

Once inserted, a copper IUD can provide long-term contraception for up to 5–10 years, depending on the type used.

Benefits of Copper IUDs for Patients Seeking Hormone-Free Birth Control in Blacktown

Choosing a hormone-free birth control option in Blacktown comes with several advantages:

✔ No hormones

Ideal for patients who:

  • Experience side effects from hormonal contraception
  • Have medical reasons to avoid hormones
  • Prefer a natural menstrual cycle

✔ Highly effective

Copper IUDs are over 99% effective, making them one of the most reliable contraceptive methods available.

✔ Long-term and reversible

  • Works for many years
  • Can be removed at any time
  • Fertility returns quickly after removal

✔ Low maintenance

Once inserted, there is nothing to remember daily or monthly.

What to Expect Before and After Copper IUD Insertion

Before insertion

  • A consultation with a GP to discuss your medical history and suitability
  • Time to ask questions and understand the procedure
  • In some cases, the insertion may be scheduled for a specific time in your cycle

During insertion

  • The procedure usually takes only a few minutes
  • You may feel cramping or discomfort during placement
  • Pain relief options can be discussed beforehand

After insertion

  • Mild cramping or spotting is common for a few days
  • Periods may be heavier or more painful initially, often settling over time
  • A follow-up may be recommended to ensure the IUD is correctly positioned

Your GP will provide clear aftercare instructions and advice on when to seek review.

When to Speak With a GP About Long-Term Contraception in Blacktown

You should consider speaking with a GP in Blacktown if you:

  • Want long-term contraception without hormones
  • Have experienced side effects from hormonal birth control
  • Are looking for a highly effective, low-maintenance option
  • Want contraception that can be stopped or changed easily in the future

A personalised consultation ensures the copper IUD is the right choice for your health needs and lifestyle.

Copper IUDs With an Experienced Women’s Health GP

Copper IUD insertion and removal at the centre is provided by Dr Angelica Logarta-Scott, an experienced GP with over 18 years of clinical experience.

Dr Angelica:

  • Completed her medical degree in 2005
  • Trained in General Practice in the United Kingdom
  • Has been practising in Australia since 2018
  • Has extensive experience in women’s health, including copper IUD, Mirena, Kyleena, and Implanon insertion and removal

This can be particularly helpful for patients who prefer to discuss their care in their first language.

Bulk Billed Copper IUD Services in Blacktown

Image-for-KRMC-Bulk-Billing-Blog-Post.jpg

Access to affordable healthcare is a priority for many people living in Sydney. With recent Medicare updates improving support for bulk billing, more individuals can now access eligible GP services with reduced or no out-of-pocket cost. At Kildare Road Medical Centre (KRMC) in Blacktown, many of the consulting doctors continue to bulk bill all eligible Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) services, ensuring accessible care for the local community.

This article explains, in simple terms, what bulk billing means, how the government’s updated support affects patients, and what services may be eligible at KRMC.

If you would like to book an appointment with a bulk billed GP today please make an appointment through HotDoc today, you can find the link here.

What Is Bulk Billing?

Bulk billing is when Medicare covers the cost of your consultation or service directly.

If the service meets the criteria of a valid MBS item, there is no upfront fee.

Eligible MBS services that may be bulk billed include:

  • Standard GP consultations

  • Preventive health checks

  • Chronic disease management

  • Mental health care items

  • Care plan reviews

  • Vaccinations covered under Medicare

  • Women’s and men’s health consultations

Bulk billing depends on Medicare eligibility rules, which your doctor will determine during the consultation.

Recent Government Changes: What Patients Need to Know

Medicare has recently increased its support for bulk billing across Australia.

Patients don’t need to understand the technical aspects of the incentive system — what matters is the outcome:

The Government has strengthened Medicare payments to help practices continue offering bulk billing for eligible patients.

While the full incentive structure is aimed at healthcare providers, the impact for patients is simple: it helps maintain bulk-billed access for Medicare-eligible services.

Bulk Billing at Kildare Road Medical Centre

Examples of commonly bulk-billed eligible services include:

  • Ongoing management of chronic conditions

  • Mental health consultations under eligible MBS items

  • Health assessments where supported by Medicare

  • Preventive care and screening items

  • Telehealth sessions for eligible patients

  • Routine consultations that fall under MBS criteria

Bulk billing is always dependent on Medicare item eligibility, and your doctor will advise you based on the clinical requirements of your visit.

Why Bulk Billing Matters in Sydney

Healthcare costs can vary across Sydney, and bulk billing plays an important role in keeping access affordable. Choosing a bulk billing practice helps ensure:

  • Lower out-of-pocket costs for eligible services

  • Accessible healthcare for people with ongoing or complex medical needs
