Patient Services
At Healthicare, we believe in empowering individuals to improve their wellbeing. Our services include exercise plans, nutritional guidance and self-management tips for chronic health conditions. We also offer on-site pathology services and support in medication management to ensure that you receive the best possible care.
Our location within the Blacktown Exercise Sports and Technology Hub (BEST) allows us to provide minor injury management and referral pathways to radiology and neighbourhood allied health services for sporting injuries. We understand that every patient is unique, and we strive to provide personalised care that meets your specific needs.
In addition, Healthicare offers referrals to service providers and social services, such as housing, welfare, employment services, addiction support and domestic violence. We are committed to providing comprehensive care that aligns with the extended primary care model led by GPs specialised in helping children and families.
We hope that our services will help you achieve your health goals and improve your quality of life. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment.

FAQs

Patient Forms
We want to provide you with the best possible health care services. To do this, we need to collect some information from you. We will ask you to fill out some forms and questionnaires. We will also ask you some questions directly.
Sometimes, we may need to get information from someone else who knows you well, like your GP or a family member. We may also share your information with other health care providers and third parties to help you get the right care. We will always ask for your permission before we do this.
MyMedicare
We invite all existing and new patients who consider us to be your preferred practice, to register for MyMedicare. To complete a registration, scan the QR code or register using the link provided on this page. If you have any questions, please contact our team.
What is MyMedicare?
The Australian Government has introduced a new voluntary patient registration model called MyMedicare to drive improvements in primary health care for all Australians and deliver new funding packages to primary care providers.
MyMedicare will strengthen the relationship between patients and their health care teams by allowing patients to register with their regular general practice and select their preferred GP and providers within the practice.
This registration aims to strengthen the relationship between you, your GP, and the team at Healthicare.
For more information, please see the Registering in MyMedicare Factsheet for Patients.
What are the benefits of MyMedicare for our patients?
The key benefits to you include better access, better continuity of care, and better planning.
Registration in MyMedicare is not compulsory, however it is recommended to improve continuity of care for patients.
You can also change your mind and leave the program at any time. It does not affect your Medicare rights or benefits.
Please reach out to our team if you have any questions.
