This week marks World Kidney Day 2026 — a global reminder of how important our kidneys are to overall health.

In fact, a significant number of Australians are living with kidney damage or reduced kidney function and may not even know it. Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste from the body, regulating blood pressure and maintaining healthy fluid levels. Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and family history can increase your risk.

If you have any concerns about your kidney health, contact Geelong Marketplace Medical Centre to book an appointment with one of our caring doctors: https://www.geelongmarketplacemc.com.au/

🧠 Mental Health Matters - Let's Talk, Listen, & Support 💙

Did you know?
🟢 Around 1 in 5 Aussies aged 16 to 85 have experienced a mental health condition at some point in their life
🟢 With around 1 in 7 children aged 4 to 17 experiencing a mental health condition
🟢 The most common mental health conditions are depression, anxiety, and substance abuse

Yet many people delay seeking help due to stress, stigma, or not knowing where to start.

This Mental Health Month, we are encouraging everyone to check in with themselves, and reach out early. Talk with a trusted friend, family, your GP, or a mental health service.

You are never alone, and it is ok to ask for help.

If you, or someone you know, needs support, visit Black Dog Institute

To speak with your GP about your mental health, or to organise a Mental Health Treatment Plan, give us a call or book online.
