Important Annoucement

Starting from January 2024,  Dr. Melanie Sung will limit her scope of practice to her own specialty service for varicose veins and women’s health (mainly urinary incontinence treatments).  Due to her health reasons, Dr Melanie will be providing these services out of The R Clinic in Belconnen and HPGP.

We understand that this change may have an impact on your ongoing healthcare, and we want to assure you that your wellbeing remains our priority. To ensure you continue to receive the care you deserve, we strongly encourage all of Dr. Mel’s patients to consider scheduling an appointment with another qualified doctor within the Health Plus General Practice network in the interim.

Our team is here to assist you in this process and we understand that changes like these can be inconvenient, and for that, we extend our sincerest apologies. Your time and patience during this transition period are greatly appreciated as we strive to ensure that your healthcare needs are met.
