🚧✨ We’re so excited about our expansion that we even sent Dr Chandy out to “help” the builders speed things up!

Let’s just say Gary, the builder in the background, may not be quite as excited about his technique… 😂

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS?

Did you know that 1 in 3 Australian adults has high blood pressure (hypertension) and many don’t even know it?
Left untreated, it can quietly damage your heart, brain, and kidneys. The good news? With regular checks and the right support, it’s one of the most manageable conditions.

👉 Book a blood pressure check with our nurses or GP. It’s simple, fast, and could save your life.

❤️ At DOT, we believe prevention is powerful. Don’t wait for symptoms — know your numbers.
