Medicare has increased the patient rebate for private fees to better support patients living with chronic conditions. This enhancement recognizes what GPs have known for years: proactive, regular care keeps patients healthy, reduces hospitalizations, and empowers individuals to take control of their health. At Walker Street Doctors, we view this as a long-overdue advancement an important acknowledgment that quality primary care is essential.
At Walker Street Doctors, we believe women's health isn't a specialty and that it's an essential part of comprehensive primary care. While dedicated women's health clinics continue to emerge across Sydney, we offer something different: a team of 12 female GPs who expertly address women's health needs while maintaining the big-picture view of your overall wellbeing.
The flu vaccine is safe, free, and provides essential protection for both you and your baby. Pregnant women are more vulnerable to severe influenza, but a quick vaccination can significantly reduce your risk while also passing protective antibodies to your baby for their first six months of life. That’s why we recommend getting the flu vaccine during every pregnancy, at any stage.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Australia and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Early detection through regular screening is vital for improving survival rates. Women aged 50 to 74 are encouraged to participate in Australia’s free mammogram screening program, which offers screenings every two years for those without symptoms.
Understanding breast cancer risk factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, is essential for proactive health management. Additionally, breast density can impact detection rates, making it important for women with dense breasts to discuss further screening options with their GP. Taking control of your health through awareness and regular check-ups can significantly increase your chances of early detection and successful treatment.
The flu vaccine is free for anyone over 65 under the National Immunisation Program, and we’ve made it incredibly easy for you at Walker Street Doctors.
The 2026 flu vaccine for individuals over 65 features a specially formulated enhanced dose designed to stimulate a stronger immune response in older adults. It’s safe, effective, and available now.

By six months, your baby is smiling, rolling over, and becoming more social, marking an exciting stage of personality development. Many parents begin introducing solids alongside breast or bottle feeds during this time. The 6-month consultation is a crucial milestone to ensure your baby is healthy, developing well, and protected from serious illnesses.
At Walker Street Doctors, we understand that as a parent, you want the absolute best for your child. That's why we prioritize timely vaccinations, following the recently updated NSW Immunisation Schedule (February 2025). Essential vaccinations are provided at key milestones, starting from birth and continuing through childhood.
The 6-month visit is particularly important as your baby becomes more social, and we recommend the Meningococcal B vaccine (Bexsero) during this time for added protection. We also offer flu vaccinations starting in April to ensure your child is protected during the winter months.
Our practice makes vaccination visits easier for busy families with extended appointment times, SMS reminders, and same-day appointments when possible. Call us today to schedule your child's vaccination appointment or book online. Your child's health is our priority!
