Flagstaff Hill Medical Centre Flagstaff Hill Medical Centre provides family medical care to the local community

We are an accredited general practice with highly trained and enthusiastic staff. Our doctors, nurses and allied health clinicians bring a broad range of services to patients.

In addition to consultations in the rooms, our doctors can provide home visits as needed (to existing patients) and attend local aged care facilities. A wide range of nursing services are provided at the practice which include child health checks, immunisations, spirometry, ECG, wound dresssings, medicals and health assessments. We also provide comprehensive programmes for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and asthma. Nurses also visit our over 75 year old patients in their homes for their annual home health assessments. You may like the convenience of our on-line bookings, giving you the flexibility to choose your own appointment time with the doctor of your choice. If you are feeling unwell over the weekend or during the night, we have on-line appointments available for you first thing in the morning. We are an accredited practice which means that we have to meet a high standard with regard to clinical services, internal administration, safety, patient rights, sterilisation and infection control, risk assessment and continual quality improvement. Our practice manager, Helen Siegertsz, was recognised in 2013 for her skill in practice management when she was awarded both the State and National Practice Manager of the Year Award. With many established practices unable to take new patients, this is an opportunity to make Flagstaff Hill Medical Centre your family's health care provider.

Prioritise your Health this Women’s Health Week! 🌸

This week is all about putting you first. We believe in empowering women to take control of their health at every stage of life. This year’s theme is ‘Say Yes to You’.

Here are some key tips to help you prioritise your wellbeing:
• Every check-up matters: Understanding what's normal for your body starts with regular health checks. Stay up to date on your bowel health, breast health, and cervical screening with your GP.
• Take the lead: Be proactive and ask questions with your GP about your health. Take control by having informed conversations and understanding your body’s needs.
• Heart smart: Heart disease affects women in ways often overlooked. Let’s talk about it and take control of your heart health.
• Pain to power: Pain isn’t just “part of being a woman,” and you don’t have to push through it alone. Speak with our GPs about managing common pain conditions.
• Be kind to your mind: Mental health is just as important as physical health. Your GP can help you uncover ways to be resilient and empowered throughout life.

🔴 Red Nose Day is a reminder of how important early education, awareness, and support are in helping to prevent the heartbreaking loss of a child.

We proudly support mission to reduce the risk of sudden infant deaths through safe sleeping education, research, and grief support.

There is no evidence that vaccinating your baby causes SIDS. In fact, studies show the opposite — vaccinations can help reduce the risk.

We encourage every parent to speak with their GP about safe sleep practices, vaccinations, developmental milestones, and any concerns they may have. Early guidance can make all the difference.

Your health is your most valuable tool. A check-up can reduce the risk of early retirement.

This week, we’re helping raise awareness about stroke — a leading cause of disability in Australia.

Every minute counts when it comes to stroke. That’s why it’s so important to learn the F.A.S.T. signs:
🔹 Face – Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
🔹 Arms – Can they lift both arms?
🔹 Speech – Is their speech slurred or strange?
🔹 Time – Time is critical. Call 000 immediately.

Talk to your GP about managing stroke risk factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.

As we hit the mid-year mark, now is a great time to check that your child’s immunisations are up to date — especially if they’re enrolled in school, preschool, kindy, or childcare. Keeping vaccinations current protects their health and ensures continued eligibility for childcare subsidies and Family Tax Benefit payments.

The National Immunisation Program (NIP) provides free vaccines at key milestones, including:
• 6 weeks
• 4 months
• 6 months
• 12 months
• 18 months
• 4 years

After age 4, most vaccines are administered via school-based programs, with catch-up options available from your GP.

Protect your child — and your community — from preventable diseases like measles, mumps, and polio.

Call the clinic to book your immunisation appointment with a nurse and GP.
