Happy International Women’s Day to all the beautiful women we know. We wanted to shout out to all those women working in healthcare who give so much of themselves to help our community. Here’s an example!

04/03/2026

Early Feb we welcomed Dr James Balshaw to Bay Doctors. James is working 4 days per week and has appointments available same day. He is fostering a special interest in skin cancer under the mentorship of Dr Jodie Yapp.

13/02/2026

This is one of those days where we may not think we would but outdoors. The strength of the UV bears no relation to how sunny or hot the day is - today is predicted to reach 11 - very high!

The rumours are true; we are moving our premises. While we love our locality here at Wanda Beach it has never been ideal having 2 separate practices to operate. We have been searching for a number of years for just the right spot. We will be moving to a dedicated space where we can all work together and continue to provide the very best service to our patients.

The new practice will be at Beds R Us (who will still be there in 1/2 the space) at the Rigby Centre, Salamander Bay. Fit out is underway and it is estimated we will be in sometime in March. This new premises will have 6 GP consulting rooms, and a 4 room skin cancer clinic, as well as pathology on-site.

We understand that many of our loyal patients live just around the corner from our current practice at Wanda Beach, and this will be disappointing. We hope that with great carparking and good public transport at the site access to our services is still very available to you all.

We will keep you up to date as the move gets closer.

Look who paid us a visit! Mark says hi and that he is really enjoying Gulgong!

06/01/2026

Today is a very sad day for us at BayDocs. The wonderful Jo said goodbye to us today, and we were all in mourning. At this start of this venture it was just Jo and I. She helped me get the place set up and has been with me now for the whole 7 and a half years. She is the go-to girl and the place won’t be the same without her.
All the best Jo we will miss you dearly xx

Merry Xmas everyone from all at Bay Doctors. Enjoy the festive season with family and friends. We will be open every day next week apart from New Years Day. X

It’s beginning to look a lot like….

20/10/2025

The recent results of CHOICE sunscreen testing were disturbing, reproduced from their website below. When looking at this information, be aware that an SPF 30 sunscreen filters approximately 97% of UVB rays, while an SPF 50 sunscreen filters approximately 98%, but theoretically for longer. The take home messages from us:
- know what you're putting on your skin
- some sunscreen is better than no sunscreen
- nothing replaces shade or covering your skin

"Of the 20 sunscreens we tested, only four managed to match their SPF claims. Sixteen of the 20 sunscreens we tested failed.

Those failures ranged from a claimed SPF 50+ that actually tested at an SPF of just four, all the way through to results in the 20s, 30s and 40s.

Sunscreens that passed the SPF test
Cancer Council Kids Sunscreen SPF 50+ passed with a reported SPF of 52
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Wet Skin Sunscreen 50+ passed with a reported SPF of 72
Mecca Cosmetica To Save Body SPF 50+ Hydrating Sunscreen passed with a reported SPF of 51
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Lotion SPF 50 passed with a reported SPF of 56

Sunscreens that failed the SPF test
The most significant failure of the 20 products we tested was Ultra Violette Lean Screen SPF 50+ Mattifying Zinc Skinscreen, which returned an SPF of 4.

In addition to this failure, plenty of sunscreens with an advertised SPF of 50 or 50+ returned lower SPF results.

SPF results in the 20s
Aldi Ombra 50+ – tested at 26
Banana Boat Baby Zinc Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ – tested at 28
Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Zinc Mineral Body Lotion – tested at 26
Cancer Council Everyday Value Sunscreen 50 – tested at 27
Cancer Council Ultra Sunscreen 50+ – tested at 24
Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Lotion SPF 50 – tested at 24
Woolworths Sunscreen Everyday Tube SPF 50+ – tested at 27

SPF results in the 30s
Banana Boat Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ – tested at 35
Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Fragrance Free Sunscreen – tested at 32
Cancer Council Kids Clear Zinc 50+ – tested at 33
Invisible Zinc Face + Body Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 – tested at 38

SPF results in the 40s
Coles SPF 50+ Sunscreen Ultra Tube – tested at 43
Nivea Sun Kids Ultra Protect and Play Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ – tested at 41
Nivea Sun Protect and Moisture Lock SPF 50+ Sunscreen – tested at 40
Sun Bum Premium Moisturising Sunscreen Lotion 50+ – tested at 40"

We have a new doctor coming!!

Introducing Dr Toni Frgacic, the newest GP to join Bay Doctors from February 2026.

Originally from Croatia, Toni completed his medical degree at the University of Zagreb before moving to the UK to broaden his experience across a range of hospital and community settings.

His training has taken him through emergency medicine, psychiatry, paediatrics, cardiology, and obstetrics and gynaecology - experience that gives him a well-rounded understanding of patient care at every stage of life.

After completing his GP training in England and achieving Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners in the UK, Toni has now decided to make the Bay his home, joining Bay Doctors to continue providing compassionate, holistic care to his patients.
