Lung cancer screening saves lives.

If you’re aged 50–70 and have a history of smoking, you may be eligible for the free National Lung Cancer Screening Program.

Screening can detect lung cancer early, when treatment is more effective.

March 19 is National Close the Gap Day.

This year's theme: Agency, Leadership, Reform — ensuring the survival, dignity and wellbeing of First Nations peoples.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians still face a life expectancy gap of around eight years compared to non-Indigenous Australians. Closing that gap starts with access to the right care at the right time.

The 715 Health Check is a free, comprehensive health assessment available to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of any age, every 9 to 12 months. It covers physical, mental, and social wellbeing, and opens the door to additional bulk-billed allied health services, follow-up care, and chronic disease management.
Right now, only about 30% of eligible people are getting their health check. That number needs to change.

If you or a family member are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, contact your local GP or Aboriginal Medical Service and ask about booking a 715 Health Check. It takes under an hour and is government funded.

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

GPs are currently having more conversations about neurodiversity than ever. And that's a good thing.

ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Tourette syndrome. These conditions show up differently in every person. Sometimes they present as difficulty concentrating. Sometimes it's sensory overwhelm, social exhaustion, or struggles with organisation that have been there for as long as someone can remember.

For many adults, these conditions weren't picked up as children. The signs were there, but they didn't fit the stereotype. They found ways to cope, to mask, to push through. Years later, something prompts the question.

That question is always worth asking.

If you've been wondering whether your brain works a little differently, talk to your GP. A conversation is the first step toward understanding, support, and the right plan for you.

This week is Multiple Birth Awareness Week. The 2026 theme: Make It A Good Start.

Families with twins, triplets, and more must navigate a journey that comes with unique challenges from day one. Higher rates of premature birth, greater mental health risks for parents, severe exhaustion, and financial pressures that are often underestimated.

Around 4,200 multiple births happen in Australia every year. Only 11% of parents of multiples feel adequately supported by the programs and policies in place.

A good start means early conversations with your GP or midwife, connecting with your local multiple birth club through the Australian Multiple Birth Association, and knowing that asking for help is part of the plan.

If you're expecting or raising multiples, talk to your GP. Ther're here to support you through every stage.

This World Sleep Day, the theme is Sleep Well, Live Better.

Sleep affects everything. Mood, concentration, immune function, chronic pain, weight, mental health. When sleep suffers, the body follows.

Nearly half of all Australian adults report at least two sleep-related problems. Many don't raise it in a consultation because they've accepted poor sleep as normal.

It's not. And it's worth talking about.

A consistent sleep schedule, limiting screens before bed, and managing stress are a good place to start. But if you've been struggling for a while, bring it up at your next appointment. Sleep is just as important as diet and exercise.

Your GP is a good first step.

This International Women’s Day, we recognise doctors like Dr Sarah Parker.

The 2026 theme, Balance the Scales, reflects what GPs witness every day. Women waiting too long for diagnoses. Chronic pain normalised. Mental health stretched thin by the invisible load of caring for everyone else first.

In Australia, women are still more likely to have their symptoms underestimated, their concerns minimised and their care delayed.

At Adelaide Hills Medical Clinic Stirling, Dr Parker is committed to helping shift that balance.

Dr Parker is passionate about medical education and works as a GP Advisor to SAPMEA, following previous Lead Medical Educator roles at GPEx and ModMed. She has special interests in women’s health, including perimenopause and menopause management, as well as paediatrics, preventative medicine and aviation medicine. She was also awarded the Monty Kent Hughes Memorial Award for achieving the highest clinical exam score in Australia and has worked across metropolitan and rural practices.

Balancing the scales starts in the consultation room. It means listening carefully. Taking concerns seriously. Advocating for better outcomes.

And it also means ensuring women feel safe enough to walk through the door in the first place.

Your health matters. If you’ve been putting something off, this is your reminder to book that appointment.

1 in 9 Australians with a uterus live with endometriosis. That's over 1 million people.
And yet, the average diagnosis still takes 6.5 years. Six and a half years of pain being dismissed, minimised, or misunderstood.

Endometriosis is a whole-body disease. Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows in places it shouldn't, causing chronic pain, fatigue, and in some cases, infertility. It shows up differently in every person. There is no cure.

If something feels wrong, trust that. Book an appointment with your GP and start the conversation.

❤️ Now the festive season is over and the kids are back at school, it's time to start planning your health check ups.

Heart disease is Australia's leading cause of death, yet many people don't realise they're at risk until something serious happens. The good news? A Heart Health Check could help prevent that.

If you're aged 45+ (or 30+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people), you're eligible for a free Heart Health Check under Medicare. This simple 20-minute assessment helps calculate your risk of heart attack or stroke over the next five years — and create a plan to reduce it.
The check looks at your blood pressure, cholesterol, lifestyle, family history, and other key factors. Then the GPs work with you to make realistic, achievable changes that fit your life — whether that's managing medication, adjusting diet, increasing activity, or simply keeping a closer eye on things.

You don't need symptoms to book a Heart Health Check. Prevention is always better than cure, and your heart health is too important to leave to chance.

Book your Heart Health Check today.

💜 February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Ovarian cancer is a silent but serious disease. In Australia, around 1,900 women are diagnosed each year, and it is often detected at a late stage when treatment becomes more difficult.

There is no national screening test for ovarian cancer like there is for cervical or breast cancer, making symptom awareness and clinical assessment crucial.

If you have a family history of ovarian or breast cancer, sudden changes in your health, or persistent symptoms (even if mild), talk to your GP — the GPs are here to listen, assess, and guide you on next steps.

Today is World Cancer Day. Cancer touches the lives of millions of Australians every year. Whether you're living with cancer, supporting a loved one, or simply trying to stay healthy, your GP is here to walk alongside you.

World Cancer Day reminds us that cancer care isn't just about tests and treatment — it's about people. It's about listening to your concerns, understanding your individual risk factors, and creating a care plan that fits your life.

The GPs take the time to get to know you — your health history, your family background, your worries, and your goals. From discussing prevention and screening options to coordinating specialist care and supporting you through treatment, they're committed to person-centred care every step of the way.

If something doesn't feel right, or if you have questions about cancer screening or prevention, don't hesitate to book in. We're here to listen, support, and help you take control of your health.

Your 40s can bring new health challenges — but the good news is, catching potential issues early can make all the difference.

If you're aged 45-49, you may be eligible for a Medicare-subsidised health assessment. It's designed to help you identify risk factors for chronic diseases and make lifestyle changes that can set you up for healthier years ahead.

What does it cover?
Your GP will take a comprehensive look at your health, including:
Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels
Weight, diet, and exercise habits
Family history of chronic conditions
Smoking and alcohol intake
Mental health and wellbeing

They might also assess your risk of developing conditions like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, or osteoporosis — and discuss practical steps you can take to reduce those risks.

If you're an Australian resident aged 45-49 with at least one risk factor (like family history, high blood pressure, or lifestyle habits), you may qualify for this one-off Medicare rebate.

A little time now could mean a healthier, happier future.

Talk to your GP about booking your 45-49 health assessment today.
