Winter is approaching, and with it comes a higher risk of colds, flu, and other respiratory illnesses.

Here are some simple steps you can take to help minimise getting sick this season:
• Stay up to date with your vaccinations, including your annual flu shot and COVID-19 boosters if eligible.
• Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or use hand sanitiser when washing isn’t possible.
• Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue, and dispose of tissues promptly.
• Stay home if you’re feeling unwell to prevent spreading illness to others.
• Keep indoor spaces well ventilated by opening windows or improving airflow where possible.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and hydration.
• Consider wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings, especially if you’re at higher risk.

Small actions can make a big difference in protecting yourself and your community this winter. Stay well!

For anyone who didn’t see out previous post a couple weeks ago please see the below 👇🏼

We would like to inform you of an upcoming change to Dr Lawrence Tay’s availability at our clinic.

To better support our specialised services, from 6 July 2026, Dr. Tay will transition from general consultations to focus exclusively on Skin Cancer Medicine and Pre-Operative Anaesthetic Assessments.

We understand that this may be an adjustment for many of you, particularly for patients who have been seeing Dr Tay for their ongoing care. He has greatly valued these relationships over the past 15 years, and we appreciate your understanding during this transition.

The good news is that our clinic now has a number of excellent GPs available, and we are confident you will continue to receive high-quality care. To ensure continuity, we encourage Dr Tay’s patients to begin booking appointments with one of our other doctors ahead of this change.

If you would like assistance selecting a GP or arranging your next appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact our reception team on 03 5852 1888

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our clinic.
