🚨 AIR QUALITY ALERT 🚨
A smoky haze is affecting our inner west area this morning.

Victorian Department of Health reports VERY POOR air quality across parts of West Melbourne due to bushfire smoke from the Carlisle River–Gellibrand area.

🫁 Asthma & breathing advice from your Eleanor Clinic Doctors
• If you are feeling short of breath, use your asthma reliever inhaler as soon as possible, follow your Asthma Action Plan
• If symptoms persist, seek medical help
• If you’ve run out of your reliever, you can get a once-off supply without a prescription from your local chemist
• If you have a preventer at home, this is a good reminder to continue taking it regularly

⚠️ General advise to protect your health:
• Avoid outdoor exercise
• Keep windows & doors closed
• Use a HEPA air purifier if available
• Wear a P2/N95 mask if outdoors
• Spend time in places with cleaner, filtered air- eg local library

Extra care for children, older people, and anyone with asthma, heart or lung conditions.

Happy Birthday, Dr Naima Ramen!💐
Today we celebrate not only your birthday, but the wonderful doctor you are. Dr. Naima’s approach to General Practice is grounded in compassionate, holistic care, supporting patients across all stages of life.

With extensive training and special interests spanning Women’s Health, shared antenatal care, family planning, sexual health, and children’s health, your patients are truly fortunate to be cared for by such a highly qualified, dedicated, and thoughtful GP.

Outside the clinic, you balance life with grace — keeping up with your primary school child and enjoying photography, painting, sewing, and cooking for your family.

From all of us at Eleanor Clinic, thank you for the care and warmth you bring every day. We hope you have a very happy birthday! 🎉💐

Cancer Awareness Month
This is your Public Cervix Announcement
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers — and protecting yourself starts with three simple steps:
✔️ Be informed
✔️ Get screened
✔️ Get vaccinated against HPV

At Eleanor Clinic, we want to make cervical screening as comfortable, respectful, and accessible as possible.

💗 Cervical screening is for everyone with a cervix
If you are a woman or a person with a cervix aged 25–74, and you’ve ever had sexual contact with anyone of any gender, regular cervical screening every 5 years is important — even if you feel well.

✨ You have a choice
You can now:
Do the test yourself using a small swab (self-collection), or
Have the test done by your doctor
Both options are equally effective at detecting HPV — the virus that causes most cervical cancers. The best test is the one you feel comfortable having.
We’re here to support you, answer questions, and help you choose what’s right for you — without judgement and without pressure.

📅 Bookings are available now
Looking after your cervix is looking after your future self.

Extreme Heat Day – Let’s Look After Each Other ☀️
With temperatures forecast to exceed 40°C, we encourage everyone to take extra care and check in on vulnerable members of our community.

💧 At Eleanor Clinic, we’re doing our part to help you stay cool:
Cool filtered water available
Icy poles ready for patients

📞 Too hot to travel?
If it’s too hot for you or your little ones to leave the house, please let us know. We’re happy to change your appointment to Telehealth where appropriate.

📚 Cool community spaces
Thank you to the City of Maribyrnong
for keeping local libraries open longer, providing free, air-conditioned spaces for our community.

Braybrook Library open until 8pm .
Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre is also a great place to cool down

🐾 Don’t forget your pets
While taking steps to protect yourself, please also consider your pets:

Ensure constant access to fresh water and shade

If it’s too hot for your hand on the ground, it’s too hot for pet paws

🧊 Remember to stay hydrated, stay cool, watch for signs of heat-related illness, and check in on those most at risk.

Stay safe and take care,

ADHD & Perimenopause Care for Women at Eleanor Clinic
Welcoming Dr Julie Carlie (FRACGP) !✨
Many women notice their ADHD symptoms worsen during perimenopause — or only become recognisable for the first time at this stage of life. Hormonal changes, particularly fluctuations in oestrogen, can significantly affect focus, memory, emotional regulation, sleep, and executive function.

This overlap between ADHD and perimenopause is still too often overlooked, leaving many women feeling dismissed, misunderstood, or unsure where to turn. Those women also often care for their children with ADHD and ASD.

Dr Julie Carlie has a special interest in supporting women at this complex crossroads. She offers thoughtful, neurodiversity-affirming, evidence-based care, taking into account hormonal health, brain function, mental wellbeing, and whole-person health.

✨ Dr Julie can help with:
• Worsening or newly recognised ADHD symptoms during perimenopause
• Brain fog, overwhelm, emotional changes, and reduced executive function
• ADHD assessment pathways and ongoing management for women and men
• Continuation of stimulant medication (after initiation by a psychiatrist or paediatrician)
• Perimenopause HRT care alongside mental health support
• Individualised, long-term care plans
• Healthy weight management options

Patients value Dr Julie’s calm, validating approach and her commitment to listening carefully and taking women’s experiences seriously.

📅 New and existing patients welcome
💻 Bookings now open: https://eleanorclinic.com.au/dr-julie-carlile/

At Eleanor Clinic, we’re proud to offer care that understands women’s health across every stage of life 💛

Okay, a bit late- but better than never!

Check your chest and kick off the month with a little self-care 💌

Book your free breast screen from the age of 50 with breastscreenvictoria!

If there is a family history of breast cancer, check with your GP if earlier screening would be beneficial.

If you notice any changes in your breast, PLEASE don’t delay getting help. Early detection saves lives.

✨ Happy New Year from all of us at Eleanor Clinic ✨
As we welcome the new year, we want to take a moment to say a very sincere thank you to our community.
To our patients — thank you for trusting us with your care. Being invited into your lives and supporting you during joyful and your most vulnerable moments is something we feel truly honoured by. It means so much to be your medical home in the west. 🌈
To our allied health and medical specialist colleagues — thank you for your trust, collaboration and referrals. Working together allows us to provide thoughtful, connected and high-quality care for our shared patients.

Eleanor Clinic began as a small, independent clinic with just three doctors and a strong belief in inclusive, high quality compassionate healthcare. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we have grown to 12 doctors, while remaining proudly locally owned and female-doctor led.
We’re also excited to welcome a new doctor to the clinic with special interests in ADHD care and perimenopausal health, helping us continue to meet the needs of our community. Welcome Dr. Julie Carlie!

None of this would be possible without our wonderful reception team, dedicated nurses and the independent tenant doctors who choose to work from Eleanor Clinic each day!
Thank you for being part of our journey. We feel so grateful to care for such a wonderful community.
💛 Wishing you all a healthy, happy New Year 💛

This time of year can be harder than it looks.
Between celebrations, expectations, and comparisons, many people feel more tired, more anxious, or more disconnected from their bodies than usual.

At Eleanor Clinic, we believe good healthcare starts with listening, balance, and realistic expectations — not pressure or perfection.

Be gentle with yourself this season. Your health is not defined by one week, one meal, or one moment.

Connect with moments that give you joy. Just being out in nature is often a good start.
Our team loves having lunch together and connecting over a cuppa.

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.
