As the world gears up to celebrate World Health Day, it's crucial for us as a health organisation to prioritise the well-being and health of all employees as well as the people in our community.

This Global initiative (WHO) aims to increase awareness about health concerns and promote equal access to healthcare for all. For this year's World Health Day, the focus is on the theme "My Health, My Right," which highlights the essential right of every person to receive high-quality healthcare without facing any form of discrimination or obstacles. With a strong emphasis on this topic, World Health Day strives to advocate for health as an essential human right.

To promote this important day we put together 50 hygiene packs which were donated to Street Peace, a non-for-profit organisation in the Frankston area.

We were visited by Jay (Founder of Street Peace https://streetpeace.com.au) and the Hon. Sonya Kilkenny (Attorney General and Minister for Planning), where we had a morning tea and the handover of the hygiene packs.

☀️💛 Just a reminder to all our wonderful patients – with summer just around the corner, now’s the time to be thinking about sun safety and getting those skin checks done. Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, but the good news is that it’s largely preventable if caught early.

This week is all about taking action. So, if you’ve noticed any changes to your skin or can’t remember the last time you had a skin check, it might be time to book in and see your GP. A quick check could make all the difference.

And remember, don’t forget the basics: slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade, and slide on sunglasses. Let’s stay sun smart and look after our skin this summer ☀️

It’s that time of year again when we see the moustaches come out in full force – all for a great cause. Movember isn’t just about growing a mo; it’s about raising awareness for men’s health and reminding the men out there to look after themselves 🧔💪

This month, we're encouraging all the men in our community to take a moment to check in on their health. Whether it’s a routine check-up, mental health support, or any of those “I’ll get to it later” health concerns, now’s the perfect time to take action.

If you haven’t had a check-up in a while or just need a chat about your health, give us a call. Your health matters – to you, your family, and all of us here too 💙

Pertussis (whooping cough) cases have increased accross Victoria.
Notified increases have increased by 25% in the last fortnight, with half of cases presenting in children aged between 10 and 14.
Pertussis (whooping cough) is a vaccine-preventable infectious respiratory illness caused by a bacterial infection (Bordetella pertussis). Infants are at particularly high risk of serious illness, hospitalisation and death from this infection - partly because they are too young to be fully immunised.
If you have concerns, please make an appointment to see your Doctor

Diabetes Week | 14-20 July 💙

Worried about diabetes? It’s hard to know if you are at risk of diabetes, with limited outward symptoms. During Diabetes Week, we’re shining a light on the importance of getting regular check-ups with your GP, who can organise the tests required to see if you are at risk.

Being pre-diabetic can be a wake-up call, but the good news is that with the right advice and support, you can make positive changes to stay healthy and avoid becoming diabetic. This week is a good week to make the time to talk to your GP.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 🍎 Let's beat bowel cancer together!

Did you know that bowel cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week? The good news is, when caught early, it's one of the most treatable cancers.

Look out for these symptoms:
🔎 Blood in your stool or re**al bleeding
🔎 A recent, ongoing change in bowel habits (like diarrhoea, constipation, or feeling like you can't fully empty your bowels)
🔎 Changes in the shape or appearance of your stool (like narrower stools or mucus in stool)
🔎 Abdominal pain or swelling
🔎 Pain or a lump in the a**s or re**um
🔎 Unexplained anaemia causing tiredness, weakness, or weight loss

If you notice any of these symptoms, don't wait. Make an appointment with your GP today. Early detection can make all the difference.
