Australia has one of the lowest rates of Cervical Cancer worldwide thanks to our robust screening and vaccination programs, but for the approximately 1,000 women diagnosed annually, around a quarter don't survive.

Gynaecological oncologist Dr Helen Green says cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers, especially when detected early.

"When cervical pre-cancer or cancer is found early, treatment is often less invasive with fewer side effects," says Dr Green.

"Early diagnosis may help preserve fertility and ovarian function, while reducing impacts on s*xual health."

Dr Green encourages women to listen to their body and watch out for symptoms including:

- bleeding between periods
- bleeding after s*x
- abnormal vaginal discharge

"Five-yearly screening is crucial in keeping our cervical cancer rates low. For women who are immunocompromised, this should be offered more frequently - at least every three years," says Dr Green.

"If you experience any symptoms, speak to your GP immediately to organise examination and testing, even if cervical screening is not due."

This Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage regular screening, open conversations and early action.

Our Gold Coast Private Maternity team was trusted to care for high-risk “mono-mono” twins (monoamniotic-monochorionic) – a very rare pregnancy with identical babies in the same sac with the same placenta.

With no membrane separating their umbilical cords, there are many increased risks during pregnancy and birth, but with careful planning, intensive monitoring and a perfectly-timed delivery, these twins arrived safe and healthy.

“What an amazing team,” says Maternal Foetal Medicine Specialist and Obstetrician Dr Adriana Olog.

“Everyone just came together and made this experience for this couple about the birth of their baby and not about it being surgery.”

Thank you to our team, Grace Private obstetrician Dr Olog and paediatrician Dr Ananad Ramineni for providing such expert and compassionate care to this lovely family and the hundreds more who choose to birth at Gold Coast Private each year.

Our fundraising efforts were featured on 9 News Gold Coast, who visited when we handed over hundreds of items to - a charity that provides clothing, books, toiletries and more for foster children. These kids often travel from home to home with just a plastic bag and a couple of small items.

These suitcases were packed with necessities, niceties and a lot of love. We hope the children who receive them feel seen and supported. And for anyone wanting to donate to this very worthy cause, visit https://www.hopeinasuitcase.org

Merry Christmas to all and a special mention to the incredible team at our hospital over the holidays, giving up time with your family to care for others.

21/12/2025

Our Emergency Care Centre Team wishes the community a safe Christmas and reminds families to take care, as holidays often bring an increase in injuries and illnesses.

“We typically see more fractures, sprains and cuts, as well as ear infections, gastro and sun-related conditions like dehydration and heat exhaustion as holidaying families spend more time outdoors," says Emergency Care Centre Director, Dr Anthony Padowitz.

“Simple precautions like wearing helmets, staying hydrated and monitoring sun exposure can make all the difference."

Whether it’s a minor mishap or something more serious, our Emergency Care Centre is open 24/7 with minimal wait times.

Staffed with Emergency Medicine Specialists we are ready to look after your family, should the unexpected happen.
