From the moment Natalie walked through the door, we knew she was the kind of doctor who just gets it — kind, calm, curious, and deeply experienced. The kind of GP people instantly feel comfortable with.

Dr Jonker brings over 20 years of experience in family medicine, with a special focus on women’s health and hormonal care. She’s also got a lovely way of helping people feel seen, heard, and supported, and that matters to us.

It’s not every day you find someone who feels like part of the team from day one. We’re lucky to have her and so are St Ives and the North Shore.

For us, good care means more than getting the diagnosis right.

It means knowing your story.
Listening without rushing.
Following through, not just following up.

At North St Ives Medical Practice, we talk about care often — not just what we do, but how we do it.

We'd love to hear from you, too:

What does good care mean to you?

It’s often the adult children who call us.

“Mum’s been a bit forgetful lately.”
“Dad won’t say anything, but he’s slowing down.”

These calls come with care — not control.

We understand how hard it is to support ageing parents, especially from a distance.

That’s why we make time for these conversations.

Because when families feel heard, patients feel safer.

Fall prevention isn’t just about balance tests or ticking boxes.

It’s about noticing the small shifts in strength or steadiness.
It’s about slowing down and asking the right questions.

And it’s about giving people the tools, confidence, and support to stay on their feet — and stay independent.

At North St Ives Medical Practice, we take this seriously.
Because every confident step matters.

She came in last winter after a fall in her garden.

Nothing broken, just shaken confidence.

We took it seriously – not just the physical side, but the emotional toll too.

Together, we created a plan:

• A thorough check-up
• A nurse-led health assessment
• Referrals for exercise physiologist and podiatry
• Support for her day-to-day rhythm

A few months later, she was back in her garden – stronger, steadier, and smiling.

Sometimes success looks quiet.
But it matters.

It’s easy to brush off the little things.

Feeling more tired than usual. Forgetting a name mid-sentence. Catching your balance a little more often.

We hear it all the time – “I’m sure it’s nothing.”

But at North St Ives Medical Practice, we pay attention to the small signs. Because they’re often the body’s way of whispering before it needs to shout.

You don’t need to wait until something feels urgent.

We’re here for the quiet check-ins too.

He booked in for a quick script refill. Nothing out of the ordinary. But something felt… off.

A hesitation in his voice. Tired eyes. That pause before standing up.

So the GP asked one more question. Then another.

And just like that, the conversation changed – into something deeper.

That’s why we value the kind of care that pays attention to the quiet moments.

Sometimes it’s not the symptom that matters most – it’s the story behind it.

He came in for a regular diabetes review.

Nothing major, just routine – or so he thought.

A few careful questions, a check on his foot sensation, and a quiet conversation later, we built a Care Plan tailored to him:

• Regular nurse follow-up
• A podiatry referral
• Lifestyle support he could actually stick to

And suddenly, it wasn’t just a check-up. It was a plan.

For anyone living with a chronic condition, Care Plans can offer so much more than people realise.

You don’t have to do it alone.

Once you turn 75, Medicare offers a free yearly health assessment.

It’s more than a check-up.

It’s a chance to talk about memory, movement, mood, medications, and what support you may need to keep living well.

It’s unrushed, thoughtful, and designed to help you stay strong, safe, and independent.

If you or someone you love is over 75, ask us about it. We’re here to help you make the most of it.
