🎄 ✨ DECEMBER STAFF SPOTLIGHT ✨ 🎄
Meet Makayla – Receptionist & Medical Administration Extraordinaire!

This month we’re celebrating the bright, bubbly face you’ll often see first when you walk through our doors — Makayla!

With a passion for helping others and a love for all things reception (including the completely unrelated obsession with our clinic plants 🌿😂), Makayla brings warmth, organisation, and a whole lot of personality to our team.

She has a special interest in youth and social work, and is currently working closely with our Aged Care and Veteran Programs — two areas incredibly close to her heart thanks to the important people in her life who belong to both communities. ❤️

When Makayla isn’t greeting patients, supporting our admin team, or making sure the front desk runs like a well-oiled machine, you’ll find her busy with her #1 hobby…
🐈‍⬛ Rescue. Rehab. Rehome cats.
🐈 Rescue. Rehab. Rehome cats.
🐈 Rescue. Rehab. Rehome cats.
(…did we mention cats? 😹)

And when she’s not elbows-deep in kitty care, she also enjoys:
🏕 Camping
🧀 Cheese appreciation (a very important hobby)
🌿 Plants (again)
🚙 4x4 adventures
📚 Cosying up with a good book
… and of course… rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming more cats. 😆

We’re so grateful to have Makayla as part of our team — her compassion, humour, and heart make our clinic a better place every day.

Help us celebrate her below! 💬👇

🎄 Allied Health Christmas Catch-Up & Info Night 🎄
A warm thank you to all of our amazing Allied Health professionals who joined us for our Christmas-themed catch-up and information night!

We’re grateful for every Physio, Exercise Physiologist, Dietitian, Nutritionist, Podiatrist, Psychologist, Family Support Worker, and Naturopath who came along to share insights, discuss community needs, and stay connected as a collaborative team. These regular gatherings continue to strengthen our network and ensure we’re providing truly holistic, community-focused care.

It’s always inspiring to see so many disciplines come together, learn from one another, and build stronger pathways for the people we support.

The Health Hub was delighted to host this catch-up and looks forward to welcoming everyone again in the new year as we continue these valuable sessions.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment — and wishing everyone a safe and happy festive season!
✨💚👏

🌟 November Staff Spotlight – Dr Dan! 🌟

This month we’re celebrating Dr Dan — caring GP, family man, ideas machine, and the bloke who always brings a bit of humour to the clinic.

👨‍⚕️ Why he loves being a GP:
Dan loves connecting with patients and supporting families through every stage of life. His special interests include antenatal care, skin, and paediatrics — the areas closest to his heart.

💡 What he’s working on:
He’s currently brainstorming clever new ways to improve patient access and make healthcare smoother for everyone. (If there’s a new idea floating around the clinic, chances are it came from him!)

🎣 Outside the clinic:
Off duty, Dan is all about family time with his wonderful wife Lauren and their three beautiful kids. He’s happiest outdoors — camping, fishing, or pottering in the vege garden.

We’re so lucky to have Dr Dan on the Atherton Health Hub team — caring, funny, inventive, and genuinely one of a kind. 💚👏

Everyone, please join us in welcoming the newest member of our front desk team, Myra! 💛

Myra brings a wonderfully friendly and professional manner to our reception area — she’s already making everyone feel welcome the moment they walk through the door.

Fun fact: Myra absolutely loves sunflowers 🌻, so don’t be surprised if you spot a few sunny touches around the front desk!

Say hi to Myra next time you’re in and help us make her feel at home. 😊
