Spare a moment for something that matters just as much as clinical excellence… team culture.

Over the weekend, the team at Hunters Hill Medical Practice stepped away from the consult rooms and into the bowling lanes for a ten pin team-building catch-up.

Doctors, nurses and admin staff all together — sharing laughs, friendly competition and a few surprisingly competitive streaks!

We place strong value on building our culture regularly. Because when our team feels connected, supported and energised, it reflects in the care we provide every day.

The way we care for each other as a team shapes the way we care for our patients.

Here’s to teamwork, collaboration and the occasional strike! 🎳

With the growing demand for GLP-1 medications for weight loss, there has been a rise in fake or unregulated products being sold online — including injections, tablets, supplements, and powders.

These counterfeit products may:
❌ Contain no real medication
❌ Include unknown or unsafe ingredients
❌ Be supplied by unregistered or unregulated sellers

In some cases, people may believe they are taking a legitimate medication when the product may be ineffective — or potentially harmful.

If you are considering medication as part of your weight-loss journey, it’s important to do so safely and under medical supervision.

What to do:
✔ Speak with your doctor about appropriate treatment options
✔ Only take medications that are prescribed for you
✔ Obtain medications from a reputable registered pharmacy

Your health and safety should always come first.

If you have questions about safe, medically supervised weight-loss treatments, speak with your doctor.

A recent Australian study shows that aged care residents who keep their regular GP experience better health outcomes:

8% lower risk of emergency department visits

6% lower risk of unplanned hospitalisations

21% lower risk of dementia-related hospitalisations

At our practice, we care for patients in aged care.

While we may not always be able to keep the same GP onsite, residents benefit from:
✔ Access to their usual GP’s notes and history
✔ The same trusted practice team
✔ The ability to consult with their usual GP whenever needed

Continuity of care, access to medical history, and a coordinated practice team all support residents to stay healthier for longer. The study also highlights the value of allied health professionals, pharmacists, and nurses working together to provide proactive, team-based care.

Continuity, coordination, and proactive care make a real difference in aged care.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on a condition that affects millions of women worldwide.

Today, our team dressed in yellow to raise awareness for endometriosis and came together to review our Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic program, focusing on how we can continue to enhance service delivery and support for patients.

Awareness helps women recognise symptoms, seek timely medical advice, and access the care they need, while encouraging more open conversations about menstrual and pelvic health.

Our Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic focuses on strengthening staff education, expanding clinical resources, improving patient awareness, and supporting multidisciplinary care — helping patients access timely and appropriate treatment.

This March, we continue to prioritise education, early recognition, and comprehensive support for women affected by endometriosis.

As we head into respiratory virus season, it’s important to check that your vaccinations are up to date — not just for flu and COVID-19, but also for shingles and pneumococcal disease.

Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 boosters help reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalisation, particularly for older adults and those with chronic medical conditions.

Shingles vaccination is recommended from age 50 (government funded from 65), helping prevent the painful rash and potential long-term nerve pain caused by reactivation of the chickenpox virus.

Pneumococcal vaccination protects against serious infections such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections and meningitis — particularly important for adults over 65 and those with underlying health conditions.

Many of these vaccines can be given at the same visit, making it convenient to stay protected.

Speak with your GP or our nursing team to discuss which vaccines are recommended for you and book your appointment today.

As the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games take place, we’re cheering on the Australian Paralympic Team and the incredible athletes competing on the world stage.

The Paralympics are a powerful reminder that sport is for everyone. These athletes demonstrate determination, resilience and extraordinary skill — inspiring people everywhere to stay active and pursue their goals, whatever their starting point.

Physical activity plays an important role in health and wellbeing at every stage of life. Whether it’s winter sports, community sport, rehabilitation, or simply staying active day to day, movement supports both physical and mental health.

We’re proud to support the message that sport and fitness should be inclusive and accessible to all.

Good luck to all athletes competing in Milano Cortina 2026.

International Women’s Day is celebrated across the world — a time to recognise the achievements of women across all backgrounds, cultures, and communities.

At Hunters Hills Medical Practice, today is about acknowledging the remarkable women who shape our practice every day. From our dedicated nurses and practice management team to our compassionate GPs and the many women who trust us with their care — each plays an essential role in strengthening our community.

We are proud to support women’s health at every stage of life and to create a welcoming, respectful environment where women feel heard and valued.

Today, we celebrate the resilience, leadership, and contribution of women — within our team and throughout our wider community.

Seniors Morning Tea at Hunters Hill Town Hall 🎶☕

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Seniors Week with our local seniors! This year’s theme, Live Life In Colour, was brought to life with laughter, conversation, and community spirit.

Guests enjoyed tea, barista-made coffee, and delicious treats while listening to live music from King Olav and the Rescue Cats. The Hunters Historical Society kindly opened the museum for everyone to explore, adding an extra touch of fun to the morning.

A heartfelt thank you to all the stallholders and community groups who generously supported our seniors:

Hunter's Hill Council
Sydney Community Services
Stryder - Community Transport
Rotary Club of Hunters Hill
Hunters Hill Lodge
Australian Academy of Tai Chi & Living Chi 
NSW SES
St John Ambulance

We’re proud to be part of a community that values connection, support, and wellbeing at every stage of life. Today was a colourful reminder that healthy ageing is about more than healthcare — it’s about staying engaged, exploring, and enjoying life in full colour.

Australia holds the unfortunate title of the ‘skin cancer capital of the world’. Rates here are two to three times higher than in Canada, the US, or the UK, with nearly half a million cases of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer each year. By age 70, two out of three Australians will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer — largely due to our glorious but powerful sun.

Melanoma March brings communities together to raise awareness and funds for research, helping us fight this disease and work toward zero deaths.

Early detection is key.

At Hunters Hills Medical Practice, the co-located MoleMap service helps identify suspicious moles, with GPs able to perform biopsies and minor excisions on-site. For more complex cases, we guide you seamlessly to specialists — all with personalised support and care.

Education, awareness, and regular checks are your best defence. This Melanoma March, take control of your skin health.

Allied Health professionals provide specialised diagnostic, therapeutic and support services that work alongside GP and specialist care. They are a key part of the multidisciplinary team and help deliver more coordinated, patient-centred outcomes.

By co-locating allied health services within our practice, patients benefit from greater convenience, improved communication between providers, and more efficient care.

With the right planning, multiple services — such as GP visits, nursing care, podiatry, pathology and specialist reviews — can often be arranged on the same day. Fewer trips, better coordination, and a more connected care experience for patients and families.

Multidisciplinary care, working together for better outcomes.

It’s Shingles Action Week — a timely reminder that prevention matters, especially as we get older.

Shingles can cause severe nerve pain, long-lasting discomfort, and complications that impact quality of life. The risk increases from age 50, and even more so for those living with chronic health conditions.

The shingles vaccine is:
✔️ Available from age 50 on private script
✔️ Government funded from age 65
✔️ Given as 2 doses, at least 2 months apart

If you’re over 50 — or caring for someone who is — this is the week to take action.

Speak with your GP about whether shingles vaccination is right for you.
