Such an important reminder from Scribbly Gum Counselling. Burnout isn’t just something adults experience — more and more young people are feeling the effects of constant pressure and high expectations.

If this resonates with you or someone you know, Deb offers compassionate support to help young people find balance and wellbeing again. 🌿

🚨 Heads up, neighbours 🚨

With the fires around, we’re likely to see some smoke drifting through Upper Kedron and nearby suburbs soon. It might get a bit thick at times, so just a reminder:

Best to stay indoors if you can

Keep windows and doors closed

Pop the aircon on recirculate if you’ve got it

Try to avoid outdoor exercise for now

If you or someone in your household has asthma or breathing issues, make sure puffers and plans are handy.

Take care of yourselves and check in on your neighbours if they might need a hand. 💛

🦅😅 It’s swooping season in Brisbane!

Magpies are out protecting their nests, which means a simple walk, ride, or school run can turn into an unexpected game of “dodge the dive-bomb.”

👉 Tips to stay safe:

Pop on a hat and sunnies for extra protection

Walk your bike through known swooping areas

Keep an eye out for magpie warning signs in your neighbourhood

And remember — they’re only defending their babies, so no hard feelings!

If you do happen to get scratched or pecked, clean the wound straight away and pop in to see your GP or nurse for proper care.

Stay safe, stay sun smart, and maybe give the maggies a little extra space for the next while. 🌳

☀️ The School holidays are almost here = kids outdoors, parents chasing them around, and everyone forgetting how fierce the Aussie sun really is!

Before you head out, don’t forget the classics:
🧢 Hat (the bigger, the better)
👕 Sunscreen (yes, even if they say they won’t burn)
🕶️ Sunnies (bonus if they actually keep them on)
🌳 Shade (trees and umbrellas are your best mates)
🕒 Avoid the midday scorch zone

And while we’re talking sunshine — don’t forget your skin check. A quick appointment now could save you a lot later. Call us on 3419 5417 or jump online to book.

Let’s keep the fun going without the lobster-red aftermath. Stay SunSmart and enjoy the break! 🌞

💛 It’s R U OK? Day 💛

Life can get messy — kids, work, bills, traffic jams, lost socks (seriously, where do they go?). Sometimes we all need someone to pause and ask: “Hey, are you really OK?”

It’s not about fixing everything, it’s about starting a conversation:
✔️ Ask the question
✔️ Actually listen (not just nod while thinking about dinner)
✔️ Encourage action if they need it
✔️ Check back in

And if you’re not OK yourself — that’s perfectly normal too. Reach out to a mate, a loved one, or come and have a chat with us. You don’t have to go through it alone. 💬

Let’s look after each other today (and every day).

💙 September = Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Alright blokes, let’s cut to it. You’ll happily spend hours checking the footy stats, polishing the car, or tinkering with the lawn mower… but when was the last time you checked in on your own health? 👀

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Aussie men — and catching it early makes a world of difference.

So, this month, here’s your to-do list:
👉 Book a chat with your GP (yes, even tougher than booking a tradie)
👉 Know your risks (age, family history, lifestyle)
👉 Don’t chicken out — your family, mates and future self will thank you.

Look after the crown jewels, fellas. 💎

You can book on HotDoc, Health Engine or even the good old fashioned way by giving us a call on 3419 5417.

🐦 Looks like our feathered friends are trying to set up home in the medical centre again! You may notice a few birds flying in and out — please don’t be alarmed, they’re just checking out the neighbourhood.

If you do have a bird phobia, let us know when you arrive so we can make sure you’re comfortable.

They might be keen on free healthcare, but we promise they won’t be joining the waiting room. 😉
