🌍 World Physiotherapy Day 🌸
Did you know that 1 in 4 women experience persistent pelvic pain?
Conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis and bladder pain syndrome are often the cause — and no two people experience it the same way.
Today, we're highlighting the powerful role that pelvic health physiotherapists play in managing chronic pelvic pain.
💪 Physiotherapy can help with:
✔️ Reducing pelvic pain
✔️ Improving bladder and bowel function
✔️ Supporting sexual health and wellbeing
At Eleanor Clinic, you may be eligible for a GP Management Plan, which includes:
🔹 A comprehensive consultation with our nurse and GP
🔹 A personalised care plan
🔹 Access to 5 Medicare-subsidised allied health visits per year — including visits to a pelvic health physio
This is a great way to get the support you need with chronic or complex health issues.
📞 If you’re living with persistent pelvic pain, don’t wait — book a consult and ask about a GP Management Plan today.
💜 A huge thank you to all the Women’s Health Physiotherapists who are making a real difference in the lives of women every day.

Happy Father’s Day 💙
Today, we celebrate the joy and love that can come from being a father—and from having a father who shows up with care, presence, and kindness. We honor the beautiful, nurturing relationships between dads and their children in all the forms they take.
We also hold space for everyone for whom today is complicated.
To those who long to be fathers but face barriers or loss,
To those grieving dads who are no longer here,
To those who have been hurt, let down, or left by a father—
We see you. This day holds multitudes.
We uplift all kinds of fathers: cis, trans, nonbinary, stepdads, adoptive dads, chosen dads, gender-fluid parents who hold fathering roles—and anyone who shows up with love and guidance. You are valid, valued, and vital.
Father’s Day is both a celebration and a longing—for connection, for healing, for the relationships we have or hope for.
Wherever today finds you, we are wishing you a gentle, meaningful, and wonderful day. 💛

🚨 MEASLES EXPOSURE ALERT – FOOTSCRAY & ALTONA 🚨
Victoria’s health authorities have identified new measles public exposure sites in Footscray and Altona. Measles is highly contagious and can spread quickly through the community — especially among those who are unvaccinated or have weakened immunity.

At Eleanor Clinic, we deeply care about the health and safety of our local community. ❤️ If you or your family members have been in these areas and are experiencing symptoms like fever, cough, sore eyes, or a rash, please get tested immediately and stay home if unwell.

🛡️ What you can do to protect yourself and others:
✔️ Make sure your measles (MMR) vaccinations are up to date — especially for children and young adults
✔️ Stay alert for symptoms if you’ve visited any listed exposure sites
✔️ Seek medical advice early — we’re here to help

📍 If you’re unsure about your vaccination status or need advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Eleanor Clinic is here to support you and your family with trusted, compassionate care.

Stay safe, stay informed, and let’s protect each other.

Women’s Health Week! 💜
What’s one thing you’ll be saying ‘yes’ to for your health this week?

From September 1, we’re encouraging every woman to say yes to you. As women, we’re so used to caring for others that our own health often takes a back seat. But this Women's Health Week, it's your turn.

Say yes to regular health checks, self-care, moving your body, or anything else that makes you feel good, healthy and well.

What are you going to say yes to?

🎄Christmas in July… in August!
Our Eleanor Clinic Christmas in July Get-Together was well worth the wait! 💚
It was so lovely to pause, unwind, and spend time together as a team outside the clinic. A huge shout-out to the team at Barbarian Brewing Company for their amazing hospitality – your warm, local, family-run vibe is something we truly relate to at Eleanor Clinic. 🏡🍻
We even had some great chats about future community projects – like setting up a monthly Men's Mental Health catch-up, which we’re really excited to explore further. 💬💪

To everyone at Eleanor Clinic – thank you for being such wonderful, passionate, and welcoming humans. You’re the reason we can provide high-quality, meaningful care to so many people and families in the inner west. 💙🌿
Here’s to community, connection, and care – all year round. 💚

💙
1 in 7 adolescents live with a mental health condition. Without the right support, it can affect their education, friendships, and overall well-being.
If you notice changes in your child or teen’s mood or behavior, check in with them — and remember, your GP can help. We can:
✅ Listen and guide you on next steps
✅ Create a Mental Health Care Plan
✅ Refer to a psychologist or mental health social worker for 10 sessions in a calendar year under a Mental Health plan.

At Eleanor Clinic, we work closely with a trusted network of experienced practitioners, so your young person gets the right care.

Parents — if you’re worried, it can help to chat with your own GP first. We can talk through your concerns and plan the best way to support your child.

Let’s break the stigma and make sure our young people know help is always here. 💬💛

Hepatitis doesn’t wear glasses, a hat or a suspicious moustache. It often has no visible symptoms, and your usual blood test may not include specific testing, so check with your doctor. Every GP can organise the test for you.

Dr. Aidan Allen-Hall at Eleanor Clinic is also accredited to treat Hep.B infections and prescribe S100 HepB medication.💊

This World Hepatitis Day, we’re helping you keep your liver healthy:

✨ Get the facts – Hepatitis B and C affect over 74,000 Victorians.
✨ Ask for the test – It’s not automatic. You have to request it.
✨ Treat it – Hepatitis C is curable. Hepatitis B is manageable. There is a vaccine for hepatitis A and B.
✨ End the stigma – Silence and shame stop people from seeking care.

We’ve got the tools to eliminate hepatitis, but it starts with awareness. Test it. Treat it. Talk about it.

🦠 M-POX Outbreak in Melbourne – Protect Yourself & Our Community
If you’re in a higher-risk group, now’s the time to get your free M-POX (monkeypox) vaccination at Eleanor Clinic.
💚 You don’t need to be a regular patient

At Eleanor Clinic, we believe sexual health is part of good primary care. Everyone has the right to non-judgmental, supportive healthcare.
We offer:
✅ Sexual health checks
✅ HIV prevention (PrEP)
✅ Specialist care for HIV & Hep B (Dr Eunice Sales & Dr Aidan Allen-Hall)

Why choose us?
When we saw how hard it was for people to access the vaccine, we worked with Western Health & DHS to become an accredited M-POX vaccination clinic — so getting protected is easy and stigma-free.

💡 Important: While the vaccine itself is free through DHS, Medicare does not provide any funding for nurses to give vaccinations. As an independent medical clinic, we pay our nurses from the billings we generate — which is why there’s usually a small nurse fee if it’s not part of a doctor’s consult.
To remove this barrier for M-POX, Eleanor Clinic is covering this cost so everyone can access the vaccine without hesitation.
As a private business, we sadly can’t do this for every service, as we need to remain sustainable and continue paying our staff fairly — but for this outbreak, protecting our community comes first.

Who should get vaccinated?
If you’re taking PrEP or belong to a higher-risk group, you’re likely eligible.

Booking is simple:
📞 Call 03 9318 4666 and ask for a nurse appointment for M-POX vaccination.

What to know:
💉 Two doses, at least 28 days apart, for best protection
⏳ Protection kicks in ~14 days after your second dose
💲 Vaccine free, nurse time free – we’re doing our part to protect our community

Let’s protect our community together. 💪🌿

DREAMING UP ELEANOR CLINIC

Eleanor means “light”.

Obviously, we named our Clinic after the Street we are located on but knowing Eleanor meant light: perfect! Eleanor Clinic is filled with so much light, it pours into each and every room.

When we dreamed up Eleanor Clinic, we were very conscious of sustainability and embracing the diversity of the local area. Footscray is such a wonderfully diverse place. From its people to the food and rich cultural backdrop: Footscray was the place for us from the very beginning.

A dedicated team came together to make Eleanor Clinic possible and we are truly grateful to those extraordinary people we met along the way. We would have never forged these connections with amazingly skilled local craftspeople and artisans had we sourced online.
