Australia’s New Lung Cancer Screening Program Is Here
Early detection can save lives. Are you eligible?

From 1 July 2025, eligible Australians can now get a free low-dose CT scan every two years, even if you don’t have symptoms.

👥 You may qualify if you:
✅ Are aged 50 to 70
✅ Currently smoke or quit within the last 10 years
✅ Have smoked 30 pack-years or more (for example, 1 pack a day for 30 years)

💬 What to do next:
📅 Book an appointment with your GP. We can help assess if you're eligible.
📝 If you meet the criteria, your doctor will refer you for a bulk-billed low-dose CT scan
📍 Scans are available at fixed and mobile sites across the country

🔍 Why it matters
Lung cancer is Australia’s biggest cancer killer, mostly because it’s often found too late.
With early detection, survival rates improve significantly. This new program is designed to find lung cancer before symptoms appear, when it’s most treatable.

💡 Bonus: The program also connects you with support to quit smoking, if that’s something you’re thinking about.

👉 Don’t wait for symptoms. If you or a loved one might be eligible, let’s talk.

🧠 GROSS BUT TRUE

Your brain can literally eat itself when you're sleep-deprived.

When you don’t get enough sleep, your brain cells go into overdrive cleaning up debris including healthy synapses. It’s like the cleanup crew got carried away and started throwing out the furniture.

Moral of the story: get some sleep before your brain starts Marie Kondo-ing itself into oblivion.

𝑺𝒆𝒆 𝒊𝒕. 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒊𝒕. 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒕.

We know going to the doctor isn’t always fun but we’ve worked hard to make The Surgery at Jerra feel different.

From the moment you walk through the door, you’ll notice it.

A welcoming waiting room that feels more like your favourite café than a clinic.

Smiling staff, colourful walls, real plants, comfy chairs, nice artwork and a team that genuinely cares.

It’s not just about good medicine. It’s about a place that makes you feel at ease.

If you haven’t been in for a while, come say hi. We think you’ll feel the difference too.

🩺 Think you’d know a stroke if it happened in front of you? Knowing the signs could save a life.

This National Stroke Week, we’re reminding our community to think F.A.S.T.:

F – Face drooping
A – Arm weakness
S – Sp*ech difficulty
T – Time to call 000

But stroke prevention goes deeper than emergency awareness. Many strokes are caused by unmanaged chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease — things a simple GP visit can help you stay on top of.

At The Surgery at Jerra, we offer long-term support for patients at risk of stroke and those recovering from one, through preventative health checks and coordinated care plans to connect you with the right specialists when needed.

🧠 Your future health starts with a conversation today.

🍫 𝗗𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲?

It's one of the oldest skincare debates, but what does the evidence actually say?

If you’ve ever broken out after eating certain foods, you’re not alone. For some people, diet can be a trigger. But with acne, it’s not so straightforward.

🔬 Acne happens when skin pores get blocked with sebum (a fatty skin oil), dead skin cells and bacteria. Genetics play a major role. People with acne often produce thicker sebum and have a family history. Hormones, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and even modern Western diets can all play a part.

So where does food come into it?

🧀 Dairy:
If there is a link, it seems to be mostly with milk, particularly skim milk. That might be because of the sugars rather than the dairy itself.

🍫 Chocolate:
It’s not necessarily the chocolate, but its high glycaemic index (GI) that may contribute to acne. High-GI foods raise your blood sugar quickly, and that’s been linked to more breakouts.

✅ What helps?
A low GI, Mediterranean-style diet may do more for your skin than cutting out the occasional chocolate or cheese. That said, if you notice a certain food consistently triggers your acne, it’s worth avoiding and talking to your GP.

Every skin is different. So is every solution.

¡𝐍𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐬… 𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬! 🎉💀

The Surgery at Jerra is proud to once again sponsor the Jerrabomberra Trivia Night, raising funds for the Jerrabomberra Public School and High School P&Cs. 2025's theme is Day of the Dead. Expect sugar skulls, marigolds and lots of frivolity.

It’s one of our favourite local events. On Saturday 16 August, the school hall will be packed with Día de los Mu***os costumes, clever and not so clever teams, and our very own Kylie Yates back on the mic as MC. Expect bad jokes.

Watch out though, TSAJ has put together two teams this year. Expectations are... modest, judging by last year's performance. Trivia was the real winner.

Big thanks to the P&Cs and everyone supporting our local schools.

💛 What colour is your wee?
Yes, we’re going there... because your p*e can say a lot about your health!

🟡 Pale straw to light yellow = 💯 well hydrated
🟠 Darker yellow or amber = might be time for a water break
🟤 Brownish = possibly dehydration or something worth checking
🔴 Pink or red = could be from food (like beetroot)… or it might be blood. Don't ignore it.
🔵 Blue or green = yes, it happens! Often from medications or food dyes.
⚫ Cloudy or murky = possible infection

🚰 The rule of thumb?
If it looks like beer, drink more water.
If it looks like wine... maybe call your GP.

👉 Got questions about what’s normal and what’s not?
We’re here for that too.

👶💙𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒑𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒕!

𝘿𝙧 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙧 stopped by TSAJ this week with her gorgeous new baby boy, just 8 weeks old. We did our best to convince her to come back to work, but fair to say that might have been a little optimistic 😅

Both mum and bub are doing really well, and it was so lovely to see them.

Dr David Yates took his ‘work granddad’ duties very seriously. Cuddles, cooing, the whole lot! 🧓🍼

Dr Nicole will be back early next year to continue her GP registrar training with us, and we can’t wait to welcome her back.
