Australia’s worst whooping cough (Pertussis) outbreak in over 30 years.

Last year, Australia recorded over 57,000 cases of whooping cough, the highest number since records began in 1991—and the surge continues into 2025, with already more than 14,000 cases reported. Children and families in Queensland are seeing rising numbers along with regions like WA’s Kimberley and South Australia.

Whooping cough is highly contagious and can be life-threatening for babies and young children, despite being vaccine-preventable. Immunity fades over time, and waning vaccination coverage, especially post-COVID, means everyone needs to stay on top of their boosters.

If you’re pregnant, caring for a newborn, or simply want reassurance, please talk to one of our GPs. Vaccination remains the most effective way to protect your child and the vulnerable members of the community.

Today marks the start of National Asthma Week (1–7 September).

Asthma affects 1 in 9 Australians and is the leading chronic condition among children aged 1 to 9. Yet, many don’t have an updated Asthma Action Plan, and most people aren’t using their inhalers correctly.

This week is your reminder to take control of your asthma care. Book an appointment with our doctors to review your inhaler technique, update your action plan, and talk about your triggers.

Let’s help you breathe easier, together. Get in touch by calling (07) 5531 6344 and arrange your asthma check-in with one's of our caring GPs at bbmcgcwh.com.au

Understanding what’s happening here and across the country really matters, especially when similar risks could reach us.

The Northern Territory is currently seeing a surge in influenza and flu cases are climbing again across the state, with nearly 5,000 new cases last week alone. Children under 5 and adults over 65 remain the most affected, and hospital admissions are rising, especially among older Queenslanders.

Cooler weather, festival gatherings, and returning travellers are driving the spread. Health officials are encouraging people with respiratory symptoms to stay home with Influenza B on a sharp increase, make sure to mask up in medical settings, practise good hand hygiene and consider antivirals if at higher risk. Vaccines for flu, COVID-19, and RSV remain our strongest defence.

If you or your loved ones are at higher risk, our GPs are here to support your care and prevention needs.

If you’re feeling unwell or unsure, talk to our GPs. We’re here to help protect you and your community.

Queensland’s humid and rainy weather creates the perfect environment for mosquitoes to thrive, increasing the risk of illnesses such as Dengue, Ross River Virus, and Barmah Forest Virus.

These diseases are spread through mosquito bites and can cause symptoms like fever, joint pain, rash, and fatigue. While most cases are mild, some can lead to prolonged discomfort.

Protect yourself by:
• Use insect repellent
• Wear long sleeves and pants
• Remove standing water around your home

See your GP if you experience any of the symptoms after mosquito exposure.

At Broadbeach Medical Centre & Gold Coast Women's Health is here to help with early assessment and management if you develop any symptoms. You can book your appointment through bbmcgcwh.com.au or call (07) 5531 6344.

Sniffles, coughs and congestion can keep kids home, but is it a cold or allergies?

Colds are viral and often include thicker mucus, fever, body aches and clear up within 1–2 weeks. Allergies last longer, cause watery eyes, frequent sneezing and itching, but usually no fever or aches.

If your child’s symptoms don’t improve, our GPs can assess and provide the right care, whether it’s treatment for a cold or allergy management.

Book an appointment with Broadbeach Medical Centre & Gold Coast Women's Health to keep your child healthy and comfortable by calling (07) 5531 6344 or through bbmcgcwh.com.au.

Am I eligible for Medicare Rebates while I'm overseas or not present?

Unfortunately, NO.

At BBMC & GCWH, we’re committed to delivering care that is clinically appropriate and meets Medicare requirements. For this reason, you are unable to claim any Medicare rebates for telehealth consultations if you are currently overseas.
Patient receiving care must also be physically present for all appointments, even for telehealth. If the patient isn’t present (for example, in the case of children), a Medicare rebate cannot be claimed.

Still have questions? Please contact our team directly through (07) 5531 6344, we’re here to help.

• All health care card holders

To view our updated fee schedule, please visit our Practice Fees page - bbmcgcwh.com.au/fees. If you have any questions, our friendly reception team is happy to help.

Many women find themselves running on empty, with nearly half of Gen Z, Millennial and Gen X women reporting persistent low energy. When your batteries are flat, even simple daily tasks can feel overwhelming, and poor sleep, digestive troubles and a weakened immune system often follow.

Energy-boosting products marketed to women tend to use natural caffeine sources like green tea or coffee extract, paired with vitamins and minerals and lower sugar levels. You might notice them in slim, pastel cans designed to feel lighter than traditional energy drinks. Others prefer non-caffeinated options like snacks or shakes rich in protein, fibre and low on the glycemic index just to avoid the peaks and crashes of caffeine.

If you’re struggling with low energy, it may be time to look beyond quick fixes. Talk to your GP about possible causes, from sleep quality and diet to iron levels and thyroid function, and explore personalised strategies. Our allied health team can support you with nutrition advice, tailored exercise plans and sleep hygiene techniques so you can feel more energised, naturally.

Book an appointment with us to explore what's behind it. You can call us through (07) 5531 6344 or visit our website bbmcgcwh.com.au

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects millions of people worldwide, yet many remain undiagnosed or unsure how to manage it. At Broadbeach Medical Centre & Gold Coast Women's Health, we’re here to help you understand your condition and support you every step of the way. We believe healthcare should be consistent, coordinated and centred around your needs.

If you or someone you love is living with COPD, regular reviews can make a big difference. We check in on your symptoms and lung function, make sure you’re using your inhaler correctly and adjust your treatment plan to suit your lifestyle. We also offer guidance around quitting smoking, improving daily habits and staying active, because managing COPD isn’t just about medication, it’s about living well.

Vaccinations are another key part of COPD care. Infections can be serious for those with lung conditions, so we make sure your vaccines are up to date. Our team works closely with nurses and pharmacists to help you stay on track, and if you’ve been recently hospitalised or are feeling worse, we’ll step in early to prevent things from getting out of hand.

Continuity of care means fewer flare-ups, better breathing and more confidence in your everyday life. If you have a persistent cough, shortness of breath or a history of smoking, now might be the right time to book a check-up.

Let’s take the next step together. You can book a consultation with one of our GP through bbmcgcwh.com.au.
