A place where you are known, and we know your name.
Many know the building as a hardware store.
Flooded with natural light, a living wall, bespoke fittings, funky furniture, there is even a chandelier in the loo.
Health on Central is a destination in itself and looks forward to becoming part of the Andergrove community.
We look forward to being your new doctor in Mackay

MyMedicare
We registered for MyMedicare – now you can too.
Search for HEALTH ON CENTRAL when registering.
Health on Central has joined thousands of healthcare providers across Australia registering in MyMedicare, a new voluntary registration system that will help us formalise the relationship between us and our patients.
MyMedicare allows you to nominate a general practice and general practitioner as your regular healthcare provider. When you register in MyMedicare, extra funding from the Australian Government becomes available to support our practice to provide more of the targeted care you need.
Patients who register with our practice in MyMedicare may benefit from:
- longer MBS-funded telephone consultations, from 1 November 2023
- longer bulk billed telehealth consultations for children under 16 and Commonwealth card holders.
- connections to more appropriate care in general practice for people with chronic conditions who visit hospital frequently, from mid-2024.
Formalising the patient-practice relationship, like with MyMedicare, has been shown to improve health and wellbeing, and that is why we are inviting all of our regular patients to register in MyMedicare.
If you have a valid Medicare card or Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Veteran card and have had two face-to-face consultations with us in the last 24 months, you are eligible for MyMedicare. People who are facing hardship will be exempt from all eligibility requirements. This includes people experiencing domestic and family violence and homelessness.
Registration is easy.
To register as a MyMedicare patient, you can:
- fill out a paper registration form at our practice
- complete the registration process in your Medicare Online Account
- ask our team to start the registration process – you can then complete registration in your Medicare Online Account.
Ask about MyMedicare next time you talk to us or find out more by visiting the link below.
