R U OK? It’s so important to regularly check in with yourself and others. If you haven’t done this in a while well today is a reminder because around Australia it’s R U OK? Day!

The whole nation is encouraged to start a meaningful conversation and ask ‘Are you OK?’ whenever you spot the signs that someone you care about might be struggling with life. With 1 in 3 young Aussies (aged 16-24) rating their mental health over the past 12 months as terrible or poor, it’s important we need to stick together and support one other.

When should we ask R U OK?
Got a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or you notice they’re just not themselves? Trust that gut instinct and act on it.

You don’t need to be an expert to have an R U OK? chat. Listening and giving someone your time might be just what they need to help them through.

How to ask in 4 steps:
1. Ask
2. Listen
3. Encourage Action
4. Check In

Life can be tough sometimes BUT so are YOU. So be strong. Don’t give up. Ask for help. All will be ok ☺️

Dear patient,

The current Bulk Billing Medicare funding model has failed to keep up with the costs of running a Medical Practice, which has resulted in most Medical Practices introducing patient fees to help meet these rising costs.

Central Victorian Cardiology - Diagnostic services, prides itself on providing an excellent comprehensive cardiology diagnostic service and has mostly bulk billed since its inception.

In order to continue to provide the same high quality cardiac service for the people of Central and Northern Victoria and Southern New South Wales, Central Victorian Cardiology needs to introduce patient fees to help meet increasing Practice running costs.

From the 1st August 2022, the below costs will apply for testing, cardiac consultation costs apply from 1st July 2022.

The Total Fee will be payable on the day of your test(s) with your Medicare rebate (if applicable) being directly deposited to your bank account.

Should you have any further queries regarding these changes, please feel free to discuss with our helpful team at Central Victorian Cardiology on 5441 5580 (Option 1).

We wish to continue our comprehensive high quality cardiac service and apologise for any inconvenience and thank you in advance for your understanding.

All of our rooms are now closed for the Queen's birthday long weekend, we look forward to seeing everyone again on Tuesday 14th June.

It's International Nurses Day.
A special shout out to our very own wonderful nurses. Thank you for your dedication and passion in caring for our patients.
Enjoy your special day CVC nurses, and nurses everywhere!

In accordance with current guidelines, masks are to be worn at all CVC consultations and appointments. Thank you for your cooperation.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter. All of our locations will be closed tomorrow 15th April and will reopen Tuesday 19th April.
