❤️ World AIDS Day ❤️
Today we recognise World AIDS Day
A Global Day of Awareness, remembrance, and support for people living with HIV.
This day reminds us of the importance of:
• Reducing stigma
• Promoting regular testing
• Supporting access to care and treatment
• Encouraging open, informed conversations

With early diagnosis and effective treatment, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives. As a community, we can all play a part in fostering understanding, compassion, and accurate awareness.
Thank you to everyone working towards better health outcomes, education, and support for those affected.
Together, we can make a difference ❤

📣 Update on Upcoming ADHD Assessment Changes (from 1 December 2025)

We know many patients have questions about the government changes coming into effect on 1 December 2025, which will allow GPs to diagnose ADHD in adults.
At this stage, we do not yet have confirmed information about what the process will look like at PHMC including fees, appointment requirements, wait times, or eligibility criteria.

Our doctors are meeting in the coming weeks to review the guidelines and decide whether PHMC will be participating in this new model.

As soon as we have clear information to share, we will update you right here on Facebook and on our website.

Thank you for your patience while we work through these changes

Brisbane St- Womens Shelter
Shakespeare St - Chances House

Let’s come together as a community and spread some Christmas joy to those who need it most.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity! 💛
Feel free to share this post to help us reach more people. 🎁✨

💦☀️ Cordial Donations Needed ☀️💦

With the heat this time of year, many of our clients rely on cold drinks to stay hydrated & keep their energy up throughout the day & sometimes… there’s nothing more comforting in this Mackay heat than a refreshing cup of cold cordial.

We’re kindly asking for donations of cordial to help keep our drink station stocked.
Any flavour, any brand — it all helps but we would prefer diabetic/sugar free.

Donations can be dropped off at Chances House during opening hours.
Thank you for helping us keep our community cool, hydrated & cared for. 💙

As an accredited teaching practice, we regularly host GP registrars; fully qualified doctors undertaking advanced specialist training in General Practice.
Our registrars bring a wealth of experience and are often highly up to date with current medical guidelines. While they may be new to our systems, they deliver the same high standard of care as all our doctors.

Our practice has had the privilege of supporting many exceptional registrars. As part of their training, registrars rotate through a variety of practices to gain broad experience, which is why their time with us is often limited to around 12 months.
We are proud to support the next generation of General Practitioners and value the excellent care our registrars provide to our community.
As we say goodbye to these wonderful doctors whom we are very privileged to have worked with this year, we look forward to welcoming the next cohort 2026.

Keep an eye out for our posts introducing them to the PHMC team 🥰

ATTENTION CELEBER DRIVE PATIENTS 📣
Dr Nooshin is moving back to Andergrove Clinic Location from Monday 03.11.2025

24/10/2025

Today, we say farewell to someone who has truly become part of the fabric of this place. Julie, your time with us stretches back over decades from your early days as a Receptionist in 1979, a return in the mid-80s after completing your nursing studies, and then your incredible, consistent service as an RN from 1994 to now. That’s a remarkable journey, and one that has left a lasting mark on everyone who’s had the privilege of working alongside you.

Your kindness, compassion, and calm presence have made such a difference to staff and patients alike. You’ve always been someone we could count on for your professionalism, your wisdom, and your willingness to share a chat and a laugh, no matter how busy the day. You’ve brought warmth, humor, and humanity to every shift, and that’s something we’ll never forget.

As you close this chapter and step into whatever comes next, please know how deeply appreciated you are. Thank you, Julie, for your years of dedication, your generosity of spirit, and the countless lives you’ve touched along the way. You’ll always be part of our story and we hope you leave with as many fond memories of us as we have of you.

With heartfelt thanks and best wishes for the next adventure,
From all of us at PHMC🤍💙💐
