Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many people delay seeking support. March is a reminder that checking in on your wellbeing is a sign of strength, not weakness.

You might benefit from speaking to a GP if you’re experiencing:
• Ongoing low mood or anxiety
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Difficulty concentrating
• Increased stress or irritability
• Feeling overwhelmed

Early conversations can lead to practical strategies, mental health care plans and referrals to counselling services where appropriate.

Bulk billing applies to eligible groups including Age Pensioner card holders, DVA card holders and children under 5 years old. We welcome new patients and accept walk-ins, making it easier to access timely support.

If something’s been on your mind, book an appointment and start the conversation.

High blood pressure is often called the “silent condition” because many people feel completely well until complications develop. Left unmanaged, it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney problems.

Risk factors can include:
• Family history of hypertension
• Being overweight or inactive
• High salt intake
• Diabetes or high cholesterol
• Ongoing stress

A simple blood pressure check can provide clarity and help detect concerns early. Your GP can also guide lifestyle changes, monitoring plans or treatment where necessary.

If it’s been a while since your last check, now is a good time to arrange one. New patients are welcome, and walk-ins are accommodated when availability permits.

Book your blood pressure check today and take control of your health.

Staying well isn’t just about treating illness, it’s about reviewing, adjusting and strengthening your long-term care plan.

Preventive health checks help detect changes early and ensure your management plan reflects your current health needs.

If you’re managing ongoing conditions, a GP review can help with:
• Updating chronic disease care plans
• Reviewing medications
• Monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol
• Coordinating allied health referrals
• Setting realistic long-term health goals

Regular check-ins support better coordination and improved outcomes over time.

Bulk billing applies to eligible groups including Age Pensioner card holders, DVA card holders and children under 5 years old. We welcome new patients and accept walk-ins, making it easier to prioritise your health.

Book your preventive health check today and stay ahead of your wellbeing.

Your kidneys quietly filter waste, balance fluids and regulate blood pressure every single day. The problem? Kidney disease often develops without obvious symptoms in its early stages.

Protect your kidney health by:
• Monitoring your blood pressure regularly
• Managing blood sugar levels
• Staying hydrated
• Having routine blood and urine checks
• Reviewing medications with your GP

High blood pressure and diabetes are two of the leading risk factors for kidney disease — which is why regular GP reviews matter. Early detection can help prevent long-term complications.

If you’re due for a health check, our GPs can assess your risk factors and organise appropriate testing. We welcome new patients and accommodate walk-ins where possible, so staying on top of your health is simple.

Book your appointment today and take care of your kidneys for the long term.

Australia has one of the highest melanoma rates in the world which makes regular skin checks more than just a good idea. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.

Keep an eye out for:
• New moles or spots
• Changes in size, shape or colour
• Irregular borders
• Lesions that itch, bleed or don’t heal

Prevention also matters. Use SPF daily, wear protective clothing and avoid peak UV hours where possible. If you’ve noticed a change or simply haven’t had your skin checked in a while, a GP consultation can provide reassurance or early intervention if needed.

Whether you’re a returning patient or visiting us for the first time, our team can assist and walk-ins are accommodated when capacity allows.

Book your skin check today and protect your skin with confidence.

• Ongoing pelvic or lower back discomfort
• Fatigue linked to your cycle

A GP consultation is the first step toward understanding your symptoms and exploring appropriate investigations or specialist referrals if required. Our team provides supportive, respectful women’s health care focused on listening and guiding you with clarity.

If you’ve been putting off the conversation, you can arrange a visit, we welcome new patients and accept walk-ins, making it easier to seek care when you need it.

Book your appointment today and take the first step toward answers.

Hearing loss doesn’t always happen suddenly, it can develop slowly over time. The earlier changes are identified, the better the outcome for your long-term ear health.

Look out for signs such as:
• Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
• Turning the volume up higher than usual
• Ringing or buzzing in the ears
• Difficulty following conversations in noisy settings

Your GP is the first point of care for hearing concerns. A simple consultation can assess symptoms and guide you on the next steps if needed.

Book your appointment today and take care of your hearing.
