💜 Women’s Health Week: say ‘yes to you’.

The RACGP is calling for reforms to improve access and equity in women’s healthcare. The Federal Government’s $573 million women’s health package will help, but barriers remain: nearly one in three women delayed seeing their GP in the past year, and more than one in 10 delayed or avoided care due to cost.

What needs to change:
🌸 fund and value longer consultations – speed isn’t the answer for complex care
🌸 tackle diagnostic delays and bias; endometriosis affects one in seven and diagnosis still takes six–eight years on average
🌸 address the hidden pay gap when complex care attracts higher out‑of‑pocket costs.

We’ll keep working with government and partners to reduce the gender care gap and support preventive, patient‑centred care. This week and every week, say ‘yes to you’ and book a GP appointment.

💊 Myth vs fact: antibiotics & colds

Myth: antibiotics cure colds.
Fact: colds are caused by viruses, so antibiotics don’t work.

While antibiotics are powerful for treating bacterial infections, they can’t fight off viruses like the common cold. Rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies are the best way to recover. Using antibiotics when they’re not needed can also contribute to antibiotic resistance, making them less effective when we really do need them.

If your symptoms last more than 10 days, or you’re concerned, book an appointment so we can make sure you’re on the right track. www.kirwangpclinic.com.au/book_online

Sunscreen isn’t just for summer. Even when it’s cool or overcast, the North Queensland sun can still be harsh. UV rays are present year-round and can lead to sunburn, skin damage, and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Adding sunscreen to your daily routine is a simple way to protect your skin and stay sun safe in every season.
