Cardiovascular Services Rockingham

Welcome to Cardiovascular Services Rockingham, located at Waikiki, Willmott Drive, 221. As a leading healthcare institution in Australia, we specialize in providing top-notch cardiovascular services to our patients.

At Cardiovascular Services Rockingham, we understand the impact that COVID-19 has had on our community. Therefore, we have implemented strict protocols and guidelines to ensure the safety of both our patients and staff. Our services and internal procedures have been thoroughly reviewed to minimize the risk of virus transmission. Rest assured, we are committed to delivering high-quality patient care and providing an excellent patient experience during these challenging times. We urge all our patients to not delay their cardiac, respiratory, or sleep testing appointments.

To ensure efficient handling of your requests, we encourage our patients and referrers to email us at adminteam@cvs.net.au. Additionally, we kindly request that our patients adhere to relevant COVID-Safe guidelines when visiting our clinics.

At CVS/CRS, we are doing everything in our power to continue delivering exceptional healthcare services when you need us the most. We stand by you and support you as we navigate through this together.

We would like to inform you about the recent changes made by the Australian Government to some of the MBS items for cardiac imaging services, effective from August 1st, 2020. These changes aim to provide high-value care and ensure that patients receive the most appropriate tests for their individual symptoms and conditions. As part of our commitment to outstanding patient care and appropriateness in testing, we will now only conduct testing when there is a clinical need, eliminating unnecessary procedures.

Please note that these changes may affect patient eligibility for Medicare rebates, depending on the type of referral and frequency of specific investigations. To help determine Medicare eligibility, we kindly request that all CVS testing requests be emailed to adminteam@cvs.net.au prior to booking.

If you are looking for our Bunbury site, you can find us at Unit 2, 138 Spencer Street. Our Bunbury location offers a comprehensive range of cardiac testing services, including ECG, Echocardiogram, Stress ECG, Holter and Event Monitoring, Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, Stress Echo Treadmill, and Dobutamine.

In addition to our services, we would like to highlight the increasing role of wearable devices, such as Fitbit and Garmin, in monitoring our health. These devices have become invaluable tools in tracking our well-being.

Furthermore, a recent study has shown that invasive surgery may not always be the best treatment for stable chronic angina. Medical therapy and lifestyle changes have been proven to achieve similar results. This finding further emphasizes the importance of personalized care and considering all available options for our patients.

We are dedicated to providing exceptional cardiovascular services and ensuring the well-being of our patients. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you on your healthcare journey.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Philip Currie

CEO, Cardiologist
