We are a group of four Medical Practices proudly servicing the Northern suburbs of Adelaide. As a wholly family owned group, we understand that patients want to be treated by a team of caring and knowledgeable GP’s, Nurses and Allied Health professionals. Good health care today needs doctors and health professionals that are connected to each other and to hospitals, specialists and community health services. Our doctors understand the local health system and know the resources available to our patients. We can help you navigate both simple and complex health issues throughout all the stages of your life. With many Allied Health professionals located on-site within our various surgeries, our patients have the luxury of being referred to a high quality team of allied health providers. All locations have modern well equipped treatment rooms that enable our doctors and nurses to treat minor injuries and perform minor surgery often avoiding the need for a visit to hospital.

🦴 World Osteoporosis Day

This October 20th, we join the global call to action: “It’s Unacceptable!” Osteoporosis affects over 500 million people worldwide, yet up to 80% of those who experience a fragility fracture receive no follow-up care. This neglect leads to chronic pain, disability, and a diminished quality of life.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.

What You Can Do:
• Get Tested: Speak with your GP about bone density testing.
• Stay Active: Engage in weight-bearing exercises to strengthen bones.
• Eat Well: Ensure a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
• Avoid Risks: Limit smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

Your GP Can Help:
If you're at risk or have experienced a fracture, your GP can assess your bone health and discuss prevention strategies.

📞 Book an appointment today and take a proactive step toward stronger bones.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Australia, with 1 in 7 women expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. While some risk factors like age and family history can't be changed, many lifestyle choices can help reduce your risk.

What you can do:
• Limit alcohol consumption: Even small amounts can increase risk.
• Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or obese, especially after menopause, increases risk.
• Stay active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days.
• Breastfeed if possible: This can slightly lower risk.
• Don't smoke: Smoking is linked to increased risk, particularly in younger women.

Regular self-exams and being aware of any changes can help with early detection.

Screening saves lives! offers women over 40 a free mammogram every two years, and those aged 50–74 are actively invited to screen.

Your GP is here to help. Discuss any concerns or symptoms with your GP. They can guide you through risk assessment, screening options, and preventive strategies tailored to you.

Book an appointment with your GP today to discuss your breast health.

From 1 July 2025, the Australian Government introduced MyMedicare — a program to help patients receive more coordinated, ongoing care from their chosen GP clinic.
You don’t have to register for MyMedicare.

However, if you choose to register, it’s important to sign up with the clinic you want to manage your ongoing care plans. If you register with another clinic, we will not be able to provide your chronic disease care plans — even if you normally see us.
Patients registered with MyMedicare are eligible for:
• Longer telehealth GP consultations (Level C & D)
• Medicare-funded care for chronic and complex conditions
• Coordinated, personalised care from their chosen GP clinic

If you want to:
• Keep accessing longer telehealth appointments
• Have your regular GP manage your care plans
• Receive regular reviews and support for chronic conditions
➡ Then consider registering for MyMedicare — and choose our clinic when you do.

How to register:
Log in to MyGov > Medicare > MyMedicare > Register
• Or ask us at reception for a paper form
• We’re here to keep your care continuous and connected. Registering with us ensures we can continue providing the services you rely on.

🧠 Dementia Action Week, 15- 21 September

This year’s theme: “Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly Future”. This initiative aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage community support for those living with dementia.

Over 433,000 Australians are living with dementia, a number expected to double in the coming decades. Despite this, many still perceive dementia as a normal part of aging. In reality, dementia is a brain condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior, and is not a normal part of aging.

Your GP can play a key role in supporting those with dementia. From early diagnosis and medication management to coordinating care and supporting families, GPs ensure a comprehensive approach to managing dementia. They also provide referrals to specialists and support services to improve quality of life.

Act now—book an appointment today to discuss dementia care and support with your GP.

A conversation can change a life, and that includes a conversation with your GP.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure about your mental health, reaching out to your GP is a vital first step. Your GP will conduct a comprehensive mental health check, taking the time to listen and understand what you're going through.

They can provide tailored suggestions, whether it’s connecting you with mental health professionals, offering coping strategies, or discussing treatment options. Starting the conversation can open the door to the support and care you need to move forward.

Don’t wait—your GP is here to help you prioritise your mental wellbeing.
