🎉 Cheers to a Healthy New Year, Gracemere! 🎉

As we head into 2026, we’re wishing our community a year full of good health, happy moments, and plenty of reasons to smile.

2025 was a big year for us — and one shaped by listening to you. All of our doctors now bulk bill attendance appointments, we’ve grown our team to better support you, and we continue to look for ways to improve the care and services we offer.

Our prescription for 2026?
✔️ Growing our practice
✔️ Expanding our services
✔️ Supporting the ever-growing Gracemere community
✔️ Keeping your health front and centre

Thank you for trusting us with your care. We’re proud to care for this community and look forward to another year of looking after you and your families.

From our practice family to yours — here’s to a healthy, happy New Year 💙

𝗣𝗘𝗧 𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦 - 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿'𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲! 🎆

As we ring in 2026 with spectacular fireworks at 7.30pm and midnight, let’s not forget our furry companions who may find the celebrations a little overwhelming.

Here’s how to keep your pets calm and safe:
✅ Keep them indoors in a quiet, or in a secure space within your property
✅ Take the time to inspect your fences, gates, doors and windows
✅ Close windows and curtains to muffle noise and block flashes
✅ Make sure they’re microchipped and wearing ID tags, just in case
✅ Stay close and offer comfort if they’re anxious

Fireworks are fun for us, but they can be frightening for pets.

Let’s make it a safe and happy New Year for everyone! 🐶🐱💖

Merry Christmas from our family to yours. As we wrap up another incredible year, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to our amazing community for your trust, support, and kindness. It is an honour to care for you and to be part of this little place we call home.

We also want to acknowledge that Christmas is not always an easy or joyful time for everyone. For those who may be finding this season difficult, please know we see you, we care, and you are never alone.

We celebrate our team, the year that was, and the strength we share as a community. We are excited for what 2026 will bring, and we look forward to continuing to support you in the New Year.

From our family to yours — wishing you a safe, happy, and meaningful Christmas.

P.S-Some faces missing but its always so tricky to get everyone together 🎅

A big congratulations to Dr Bomi and Dr Siva on achieving their Fellowship with the RACGP! 🎉

This is such an incredible milestone and a true reflection of the years of hard work, study, dedication, and commitment they’ve put into their careers. Anyone who knows these two knows how much heart they put into their patients, their profession, and our community.

We are so lucky to have them as part of the Gracemere Family Practice team. Their care, compassion, and willingness to always go the extra mile is something our whole community benefits from every single day.

Today we get to celebrate them — their achievement, their journey, and all the hard work that led to this moment. A huge thank you to Dr Indu and Dr Brighton for the support and guidance they’ve offered along the way, and to our amazing GFP team — the doctors would be lost without you all.

And of course, the biggest thank you goes to our patients for your unwavering support, trust, and understanding.

Well done, Doctors. You’ve absolutely earned this and we’re so proud of you both! 👏💙

Today is Remembrance Day. A day to honour the courage, service, and sacrifice of all Australians who have served, and continue to serve.

For many veterans and their families, today carries significant emotional weight. It may stir grief or quiet reflection. If you know someone who is feeling heavy or distressed, reach out. A gentle check-in can mean the world 💛

If today brings up difficult emotions for you or someone close to you, we encourage you to reach out to Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling for free and confidential support. The line is available 24/7 on 1800 011 046. Other support services can be found at ruok.org.au/findhelp

🌿 World Mental Health Day 🌿
Today is a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and take care of yourself — mind and body.

Here are a few small ways to start your morning on a happier note:

☀️ Step outside for your morning coffee
Those first rays of sunlight lift your mood, boost your energy, and help you sleep better at night. Even a few minutes outdoors can make you feel refreshed and ready for the day.

🎶 Start your day with music
Play songs that make you smile! A happy playlist can turn an ordinary morning into something brighter and lighter.

😊 Smile at yourself in the mirror
It might feel silly, but it actually works — smiling releases feel-good chemicals that boost confidence and positivity.

🌱 Talk to your plants (or simply care for them)
Connecting with nature, even in small ways, can help you feel grounded and calm. Watching something grow under your care is a beautiful reminder of patience and growth.

💙 If you’re struggling — please reach out.
We’re here to listen, support, and help in any way we can. You’re never alone in this.

📣 A Gentle Reminder: Be Kind. Always. 💛
To our valued customers, Lately, we've had some difficult days. While most of you are wonderful and supportive, we've also encountered a growing number of instances of verbal abuse and unkind treatment toward our team. Our staff are real people — with hearts, families, and feelings — working hard every day to help. Whether they’re behind the counter, on the phones, in the treatment rooms or cleaning up after a long day, they deserve the same compassion and respect that we all do. We understand that things can be frustrating at times, but kindness costs nothing — and it makes a world of difference. Let’s work together to create a space where respect and humanity are always at the forefront. 💛 Thank you to everyone who continues to show us patience and empathy. It means more than you know.
