Handwashing seems simple until you realise most of us are missing a few spots.

The WHO recommends 40–60 seconds with soap, working through your palms, fingers, thumbs, and fingertips before drying with a clean towel. A small habit that goes a long way, especially when you’ve got little ones at home.

Save this and share it with someone who needs the reminder. 🧼

1. Sitting all day and counting the walk to the car as exercise
2. Running on 5 hours sleep and hoping coffee fills the gap
3. Waiting until you literally cannot wait anymore to go to the bathroom
4. Carrying your entire life on one shoulder
5. Doing five things at once and somehow finishing none of them
6. Googling symptoms at 11pm and convincing yourself it's serious
7. Telling yourself you're fine because everyone else seems stressed too
8. Taking supplements daily but haven't eaten a vegetable since who knows when
9. Doomscrolling until midnight and calling it winding down
10. Skipping meals all day then eating everything in sight at 9pm

We'll be back open as usual on Tuesday 5 May.
If you need an appointment around the long weekend, it's worth booking ahead.

In Australia, the most common causes of workplace injury are 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬. But not all work-related illness is that visible. Mental health conditions are among the most commonly reported, and often the least addressed.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Workplace injury is not always dramatic. Sometimes it is a back that has been getting worse. A persistent ache that gets put off. Stress that has quietly crossed a line.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It affects workers across every industry, and it is more preventable than most people realise. Good workplace culture, proper training, and early intervention all make a difference.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If work has taken a toll on your health, whether it is an injury, an illness, or just something you have been carrying for a while, you are welcome to come and see us.🩺⁣⁣

Did you know? 💡

The first two weeks of school term are basically peak season for kids bringing home every germ they have ever met.

New classroom, new friends, new immune system workout.

Most of it passes on its own. But a few things are worth checking before the term gets away from you:

💉 Vaccinations up to date?
👂 Any ear or hearing concerns from last term?
👀 Due for an eye check?
🧠 Any behaviour or development things on your mind?

If something has been on your mind, a conversation with your GP is a good place to start.

Flu vaccines are also available at the clinic if you need them for the kids or for yourself. 🩺

At Calamvale Central Family Practice, we use our skills, knowledge and talents to work in partnership with you to achieve the best possible health outcomes.

Things we Google at 11pm so we don't have to say them out loud 📱

→ "why does my stomach hurt after every meal"
→ "bloating that won't go away normal?"
→ "IBS or something more serious"
→ "foods that trigger IBS Australia"
→ "is this IBS?"

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐁𝐒 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 — and one of the hardest things about IBS is that the symptoms don't always make sense. They overlap with stress, with diet, with hormones, with a dozen other things. 𝐒𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝-𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭. You Google at midnight instead of asking out loud.

That confusion is valid. IBS is genuinely difficult to identify. That's why a conversation with your GP is the right place to start — no self-diagnosis required.

Just come in and tell us what's been happening.

Can your family hit 8,000 steps today?

A daily walk is one of the easiest things you can do for your physical AND mental health, and it's free.

Bonus: it tires the kids out 😅

This year's theme: 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.

The internet will give you 47 answers to one health question. So will AI. Some good. Some alarming. Some completely wrong.

Your GP gives you one — 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

We're not here to replace Google or AI. We're here for after, when you need a real answer from 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

So bring us the question. Book in, call us, or walk through the door. That's literally what we're here for. 💚

The flu program is officially underway for the year.

𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞: All Queenslanders (6 months+) are now eligible to get protected.

𝐀 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬: Children aged 2 to 5 can now receive a nasal spray instead of the usual needle. 👃✨

𝐁𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫: It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to provide full immunity, so getting in early is the best way to stay ahead of the season.

Don’t wait for the winter rush to hit. Come in and have a chat about your flu protection or book the family in online today. 🤝
