Lifestyle medicine

Be part of a bigger change

Lifestyle medicine uses evidence based lifestyle changes as a primary treatment to prevent, treat and often reverse chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, heart disease and stroke. Dr Bindi, an ASLM accredited Lifestyle Medicine Physician, builds these principles into her everyday GP care.

Government programs

MyMedicare and lung cancer screening

Two national programs we support. Here's who can join and how.

Introducing MyMedicare

MyMedicare

A free, voluntary registration that formalises the relationship between you, your practice and your GP. It tells us you've chosen InnerCare as your regular care team and unlocks extra funding for your care.

Benefits

  • Greater continuity of care with your registered practice
  • Longer Medicare funded telehealth consults with your GP
  • Triple bulk billing incentive for longer telehealth consults for children under 16, pensioners and concession card holders
  • More regular GP visits and better care planning in residential aged care

Who can register

  • Anyone with a Medicare card or DVA Veteran Card
  • Two face to face visits at the same practice in the past 24 months (one visit in remote areas, MMM 6 and 7)
  • People facing hardship, including family violence or homelessness, are exempt from the rules
  • Parents register children under 14; ages 14 to 17 can register themselves

Register through your Medicare Online Account or the Express Plus Medicare app, or fill in the registration form and hand it to our front desk.

National Lung Cancer Screening Program

Lung cancer screening

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program started on 1 July 2025. It's an Australian Government initiative to detect lung cancer early in people at high risk.

You may be eligible if you

  • Are aged between 50 and 70
  • Smoke cigarettes, or quit within the last 10 years
  • Have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer
  • Have smoked the equivalent of a pack a day (about 20 cigarettes) for at least 30 years
Fees and billing

Clear fees, no surprises

InnerCare is a mixed billing practice. We process your Medicare rebate when you pay on the day, and it lands in your account within 2 business days.

To keep a high standard of care we can't routinely bulk bill every consult, as practice running costs have outpaced Medicare increases.

Billing is at the discretion of each doctor, not reception. Doctors work independently and may reduce fees or bulk bill. You're welcome to discuss fees confidentially with your doctor.
