We’d love the community to get behind Team Growlife Medical to help us change the trajectory of children’s and youth’s lives!

This weekend, Growlife Medical co-founder Alison completed the Sisters of the Saddle 95km charity partner ride, part of the build-up to the massive 3-day, 350km ride in October that Team Growlife Medical has been training for.

Sisters of the Saddle raises funds for two incredible charities:

🌟 TRACTION for Young People – Empowers young people through hands-on learning and mentoring programs, helping them build resilience, life skills, and confidence.

🌟 Zephyr Education – Supports children affected by domestic violence by providing school uniforms and essential supplies, helping them get back to school quickly and confidently.

The real magic happens when communities come together. Join us in supporting TRACTION for Young People and Zephyr Education by donating to Sisters of the Saddle – Team Growlife Medical via the link.

We are so grateful for your support in helping us change the lives of children in need.

GP and Growlife Founder Aaron Chambers spent yesterday providing blood pressure checks for members of parliament, together with other members of the RACGP Queensland Faculty in their official capacity.

He highlighted the vital role GPs play in caring for their communities, emphasising the need for continuity of care with a trusted GP who knows their patients best.

Dr Chambers also discussed improving access to ADHD care through GPs, enabling GPs to prescribe isotretinoin for acne treatment, along with other essential health issues.
