🤓👓 I am sure we are not alone with a drawer full of old glasses frames that are no longer required… if you want to drop your old frames at DoT we can take them into Options along with all of ours! Fantastic initiative Lions!

🌎 It’s World Diabetes Day - a great reminder that little choices we make every day can have a huge impact on our health. Type 2 Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia. Maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active and eating a balanced diet are simple ways of reducing your risk of developing diabetes.
The DoT team is here to guide you - through education, support, accountability, accessing allied health professionals and risk screening. ♥️

🪚🔨 12 YEARS BETWEEN BUILDER HANDOVERS!
Chandy & Gary our Builder in Dec 2013 and again yesterday.

Thank you all for your patience while we have been building - often during consult hours!
You can access the practice either through the usual door or head around past the outside wait room and up the ramp.

WELCOME DR STU COOPER! Another piece of the DoT puzzle 😆.
Our expanison is complete: more space and more services with the same DoT care (just more of it!). Still a wee bit chaotic but please bear with us ❤

🫁 Australia’s new National Lung Cancer Screening Program is here!

If you’re 50–70 years old and currently smoke or quit within the past 10 years, you may be eligible for a free low-dose CT scan of your lungs.

💡 Why it matters:
Lung cancer often shows no signs until it’s advanced — but early detection can save lives.
When found early, survival rates are around 70% — but when found late (Stage 4), only about 5% survive five years.

The scan is quick, painless and free under the program — and done right here at our local radiology clinics: Quantum Radiology and Noosa Radiology.

Ask your DOT GP if you’re eligible and we’ll help you get started. ❤

We are absolutely delighted to be welcoming Dr Stu & Dr Lizzie Cooper to the DoT team from November. ❤
Drs Stu & Lizzie Cooper are both British born and trained doctors. They are Fellows of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Stu & Lizzie are passionate about family general practice due to the breadth of medicine it allows them to practice as well as the long-term relationship and continuity of care it enables them to offer to their patients.
Both enjoy being medical generalists and are experienced in all areas of general practice. Stu has special interests in male health, chronic disease management, adolescent health as well as palliative care. He is also accredited to manage and prescribe for HIV positive patients under the S100 scheme in Queensland; he is an active prescriber of PrEP. In addition, Stu is an experienced Occupational Physician. He has worked with organisations spanning all industry sectors to assist them in managing the health and wellbeing of their employees.
Lizzie has special interests in women & child health, including antenatal shared care and post-natal care. She undertakes minor skin procedures, intravenous iron infusions and inserts the contraceptive implant.
Although patients usually have Stu or Lizzie as their primary GP, they cross cover in the other’s absence.
Stu & Lizzie are married, live in the Noosa Shire, which is now their long-term home. They have 3 children who attend school in Noosa, so their home is never quiet but always great fun! As a family they love to travel, be in the water and the great outdoors.
Bookings can be made online or phone Justine, Pauline and Teresa -

🌸🌸 Why screening matters

Studies show that regular mammograms reduce breast cancer deaths by around one-third in women aged 40 and over. Early detection saves lives.
