Melioidosis risk increases during the wet season.
Protect yourself and your family by wearing shoes outdoors, using gloves when gardening, staying indoors during storms, and avoiding excessive alcohol.

If you feel unwell or develop fever, cough, or non-healing sores, seek medical care early.

We’re delighted to announce that our practice is now part of the MyMedicare patient registration model.

This means:
You can formally register with us as your trusted primary care clinic, and receive coordinated, ongoing care tailored to your health needs. You’ll benefit from a more connected relationship between you, our clinicians, and your support team.

The registration is voluntary, simple, and free for eligible patients.

How it works at our clinic:
-If you haven’t already, speak with our team at reception or book a quick appointment to register.
-You’ll fill out a registration form — we’ll guide/take you through it.
-Once you’re registered, we’ll maintain your patient-record-relationship under MyMedicare, helping us deliver better continuity of care.

Of course, you’re free to change or stop your registration at any time — your care remains in your hands.

Today, we pause to honour the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our freedom.

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we remember those who never returned and those who came home forever changed.

Lest we forget

Most antenatal appointments with me here at VMG:

- Hospital team supports your birth, and continue caring for you & baby after discharge

This shared approach blends the best of community-based care with hospital expertise — giving you a familiar doctor by your side from early pregnancy through those precious early newborn days.
