And the winner of the 2025 Christmas Door Decorating Competition is ……. 🥁…….. Dr Nat! 🙌🎉🤩. It was a tough competition again this year with so many outstanding entries. An honourable mention must go to Reception who were our runners up with their creative bespoke Christmas tree creation! (especially because they don’t even have a door to decorate!) 🎄🎅🙌

The YFD Christmas newsletter is out now! 🎄🎅

As we edge toward the end of 2025, the festive spirit has well and truly arrived at Your Family Doctors. This time of year always brings a moment to pause and reflect, and we’re grateful for the trust you place in us throughout the ups and downs of life. It’s a privilege to be part of your health journey, and we’re proud to continue caring for our wonderful and supportive community.

In this month’s Christmas newsletter, we have plenty to share. You’ll find updates on our Christmas opening hours, our launch of HotDoc routine requests for your convenience, and information about our onsite pathology service, Laverty. We’re also covering important changes to government bulk-billing incentives, women’s health rebate changes for Mirena and Implanon insertions, and an update on GPs and ADHD prescribing.
There’s lots happening behind the scenes too—We have staff incoming and outgoing and we welcome our newest doctor, Cherie. There are highlights from the GP25 Conference, our recent Christmas party and announcement of employee of the year. Our Christmas Door Decorating Competition is back and better than ever. With creativity in overdrive, it’s certainly beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at YFD… but who will take out the winning door this year?🎅🎄

🌟 YFD Employee of the Year 2025 🌟
A huge congratulations to our incredible Practice Nurse Lynne Campey! 🩺💙

It was an extremely close call this year with so many outstanding team members, but Lynne managed to pip the rest at the post with her extraordinary efficiency, endless kindness, and truly exceptional patient care. Add to that her legendary ability to multitask like she’s had a triple-serve of Weetbix for breakfast 🥣⚡—and you’ve got a very deserving winner!

Thank you Lynne for being the calm in the chaos. We are so grateful for everything you and all of our staff do. 🙏

🌟 Welcome to YFD, Dr Cherie Castaing! 🌟
We are thrilled to welcome Dr Castaing to the team from 1 December!

Dr Castaing completed her medical degree in 1994 at Otago University (NZ) before heading to the warmer beaches of the Central Coast — and never leaving. She trained at Gosford Hospital across Paediatrics, Addiction Medicine and Obstetrics & Gynaecology, before gaining her Fellowship in General Practice.

She worked for many years in Umina and from 2018–2025 in Saratoga, where she co-founded Health for Her, a dedicated midlife women’s health service.

With special interests in diabetes, chronic disease management, menopause and all things women’s health, Dr Castaing also loves the diversity that general practice brings across all stages of life.

Outside medicine, Cherie has been busy raising her three children. You’ll often find her serving behind the bar at her local SLSC, walking her dog, or making the most of the great outdoors.

💙 Please join us in giving Dr Castaing a warm YFD welcome! 💙

This weekend, Dr Elly Warren proudly represented the YFD team at the GP25 Conference in Brisbane. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with GPs from across Australia — including a few friendly faces from right here on the Central Coast!

Dr Elly soaked up the energy and excitement of being together with passionate GP advocates, all showcasing the heart of general practice and the amazing work being done in our communities every day.

🩵A Message to Our YFD Community 🩵

You may have heard media reports from 1 November about some clinics “going back to bulk billing.”
We want to be open and honest that Your Family Doctors at Erina will not be moving to universal bulk billing.

Our priority is simple — quality care comes first. Private billing allows us to continue to provide the high-quality care you and your family deserve with;

⭐️Longer, more thorough consultations
⭐️Continuity of care with your regular GP
⭐️Experienced nurses and practice staff
⭐️Investment in essential equipment and technology
⭐️ A focus on preventative and comprehensive healthcare—not rushed, “6-minute medicine”
⭐️To allow us to remain a locally owned, independent practice supporting local jobs and personalised healthcare

While recent government announcements have made headlines, the Medicare rebate still doesn’t cover the true cost of delivering high-quality general practice care. Recent cuts to chronic disease management and mental health item numbers will impact patient funding further. If you feel the cost of healthcare and Medicare rebate isn’t meeting your needs, we encourage you to share your concerns with your local federal MP.

We understand the cost-of-living pressures are real. To support our community, we continue to offer:
✅ Bulk-billed script-only appointments for routine repeat scripts and referrals (if seen face-to-face in the past 12 months)
✅ Bulk-billed health assessments
✅ Efficient systems that reduce unnecessary visits

Thank you for choosing a practice where time, compassion and experience matter.
Your support helps keep independent general practice strong in our community. 🩵🩺

Love, the YFD Team xx

Farewell to our wonderful Fiona! 💐❤️

After many years of welcoming patients with her warm smile and keeping things running smoothly at YFD, Fiona has hung up her headset and started a new adventure — retirement!

We wish her all the best as she enjoys the slower pace of country life… though we suggest starting with chickens before upgrading to a Shetland pony! 😉

Thank you, Fiona, for your kindness, care and laughter — we’ll miss you dearly! 🙏❤️

While most of us were having a lazy Sunday, our superstar nurse Jo was out walking 28km in the 7 Bridges Walk, raising funds for the ! 🙌
That’s 8 hours of her weekend dedicated to a cause close to so many of our hearts 💛.
We’re so proud of her generosity, spirit, and sore feet! 👏👏👏
