Tocumwal Doctors

21/11/2025

As we reflect on our journey this year, we wanted to share a special moment from May, when Helen Dalton MP visited our clinic and warmly welcomed Dr. Emeka Ike and our team to Tocumwal.

Her message of support meant a great deal to us, especially as we committed ourselves to strengthening healthcare access in rural NSW.

Since then, we’ve continued to grow, serve, and support our community with:

✔ Bulk-billed consultations to ease cost-of-living pressures
✔ Compassionate care in mental health, skin checks, geriatric care & more

We’re grateful for the recognition and even more grateful for the trust the Tocumwal community has placed in us every day since.

Here’s to continuing the work of making quality health care accessible to everyone. 💚

Welcome to the Weekend 😊

It’s so great to see GP’s relocating to the bush and committing to ensuring reliable and quality health care.

I finally had the opportunity to swing by Tocumwal and welcome Dr. Emike Ike to town.

He and his amazing staff are a much needed addition to just one of the places in the electorate that are desperately in need of quality health care in rural and remote NSW.

Dr. Emike will also be the first doctor to work in the Tocumwal Hospital since COVID-19.

His healthcare passions lie in the areas of skin checks, mental health and geriatric.

His practice also accepts bulk-billing – which is a cost of living bonus for all of us who are struggling out here - So welcome to town Dr. Emike.

Men’s Health Matters: 3 Ways to Stay on Top of Your Wellbeing

Hey Tocumwal!
This month, we’re shining a light on men’s health, because looking after yourself isn’t just important, it’s essential.

Here are 3 simple ways every man can stay on top of his wellbeing:

1️⃣ Get Regular Check-ups: Prevention is always better than cure. Schedule that check-up, your future self will thank you.

2️⃣ Move Every Day: Whether it’s a walk by the river, a quick jog, or helping around the yard, staying active boosts your body and mind.

3️⃣ Talk It Out: Mental health is just as important as physical health. Don’t keep things bottled up; a simple chat can make a world of difference.

At Doctors@Tocumwal, we’re here to support men in our community with compassionate, confidential, and professional care, every step of the way.

Let’s make men’s health a priority, not an afterthought.
