What's new on AskMyGP

The “enter your result” tool on What Does My Blood Test Mean? now names the published range (KDIGO eGFR categories, the RCPA TSH range) or explains the units, with the source and our full guide on every result. Treatment, risk and urgency statements were removed.

The searchable results page now links each matching test (HbA1c, eGFR, FBC, cholesterol, TSH, PSA and more) to our in-depth guide, and lists all 30 test, scan and diagnosis explainers in one place. The test-preparation page gains the explainers it was missing.

Can a GP prepare a care plan over the phone? From 1 November 2026, yes. The fees, the delivery-method table and the conditions that apply (chronic condition, MyMedicare practice or usual doctor, timing and same-day rules), with clause references from the law.

Everything changing in the MBS on 1 November 2026, with plain-language and GP versions: the Medicare Healthy Kids Check, four new phone care-plan items (92033, 92034, 92063, 92064), 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (11607) for children, nurse practitioner bone density referrals, and confirmation that no fees change.

Following the questionnaire owners’ guidance, the DASS-21 and GPCOG are no longer completed or scored on AskMyGP. The pages now explain each tool and link clinicians to the official forms and translations.

A clinician directory of the official translated versions of the DASS-21, PHQ-9, GAD-7, K10, AUDIT and GPCOG, with each owner’s licence terms, a language finder (including simplified vs traditional Chinese), and the free TIS interpreter line for when no translation exists.

About 20 clinician and patient pages still showed pre-July 2026 fees. They now match the MBS data file effective 1 November 2026: health assessments for prescribed medical practitioners (224–227), allied health items, eating disorder items, practice nurse and mental health items, skin excision, bariatric, sleep study, ultrasound, and the bulk billing incentive amounts. The GP chronic condition plan telehealth items are now shown at 100% of the fee when out of hospital.

COVID-19 vaccines moved onto the National Immunisation Program on 1 October 2026. The guides now show who is funded (75 and over, 65–74, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people 50–74, and adults 18–64 with severe immunocompromise), the Handbook list of medical risk conditions, and dated estimates of what a private dose may cost. Clinician reference included.

The checker, guide and vaccine tools now show which medical conditions are NIP-funded for adults and which are recommended but not funded (for example diabetes and heart disease), using the Australian Immunisation Handbook table.

The flu page reflects the 2026 NIP influenza advice (first-year doses for children, funded conditions) and notes the Queensland and Western Australia free-for-everyone programs have ended. RSV pages now name Arexvy as the NIP-funded older-adult vaccine.

New item pages for heart health assessments (699, 177) and prescribed medical practitioner health assessments (224–228), all in the item lookup. Also covers the new phone chronic-condition-plan items (92033, 92034, 92063, 92064) and the paediatric criterion for item 11607, both from 1 November 2026.
