At Macintyre Health, we are inspired by those who choose to live in Rural Queensland - the resilience, tenacity and sense of community that is inherent here. We are also inspired by the technology and innovation that has revolutionised Diabetes Management and how easily people are now able to live their day-to-day lives. Today we live at a moment where the majority of people have access to the internet or mobile phones - the raw tools necessary to engage in possibilities such as Telehealth, Insulin Pump Therapy and Continuous/Flash Glucose Monitoring (among others). Macintyre Health also recognises that personal relationships are fundamental to successful Chronic Disease Management and Integration of Care. Often, we find, that someone will care more about their own management when they become aware, and believe, that we deeply do as well. At Macintyre Health, we provide education tailored to each person's needs - both clinical and personal. There is no stock-standard way to manage every person with Diabetes, and a tailored approach is key to success. When you become a patient of Macintyre Health, you will know that you have a partner, an ally, someone who will respect your wishes without judgement. Even if our mission sounds big, it starts small - and it starts in Goondiwindi.

Not all protein powders are created equal, especially when you’re managing diabetes.
The right protein can support muscle health, steady blood sugar and keep you feeling full. But some types can do more harm than good. Our APD's (Accredited Practicing Dieticians) have put together a simple guide to help you make confident choices.
🚗 We know it’s not always just a 'quick drive up the road' to get to healthcare. That’s why we started Macintyre Health, right here in rural Australia.
It’s why we offer telehealth appointments, and why we have a Head of Rural and Remote. We'll always be dedicated to making care more accessible, no matter how far you are.
☀️ It's official: The countdown to holidays is on!
Before you switch into overdrive for the year, make sure you’ve booked your final appointment with your CDE. Spots are filling fast, and we want to make sure you're prepared!
💭 People living with diabetes make an estimated 180 more health-related decisions each day than those without it. Do you think that sounds about right?
What are some of the things you find yourself thinking about or checking most days?
Tell us in the comments below!👇
What if we told you... our multidisciplinary team could support you through every stage of life?
From diabetes management and endocrine care to nutrition, obstetric medicine, and aged care (through our sister organisation, Wattle & River Home Health), we've got you covered.

We know that getting care isn’t always easy for those of you living in rural and remote communities. It can mean long travel, limited services, and big barriers to access.
Kate Dunn (our Head of Rural and Remote) shares the realities of what this can look like, and how we can change it.
🩺 Did you know you can get a Medicare rebate for your consult? All you need is a referral. This allows us to claim your appointment through Medicare and help you get money back.
If you’re seeing your GP soon, ask them for a referral before your visit. It’s a small step that makes a big difference (to your consult, and your pocket!)
