TW: Discussion and imagery of neonatal loss.
Riley's parents will never fully recover from his terrible passing, but in his memory, they did help enact change: the free whooping cough vaccine offered in Australia to pregnant women from 20 weeks. Riley did manage to leave a wonderful legacy during his short life.

We were recently thrilled to welcome Casey and Natalie from Empower Health NQ into our operating theatre. Seeing the underlying anatomy during surgery (with prior patient consent, of course) really helps our allied health colleagues understand their patients’ post-operative needs. Casey and Natalie are pictured here with Dr Aubrey (left) and one of her surgical assistants, local GP specialist Dr Kirryn Jensen (right).

More beautiful baby spam to share from our practice family! Jennifer is one of the kind and caring midwives you might have encountered if you had your baby at our hospital in the past year or so. She and husband Andrew recently welcomed Clara, shown off here in the loving arms of her older sister Millie. Jen is a natural parent and despite some excitement around Clara’s birth, took this all in her stride as usual. Clara is clearly in good hands with this gorgeous family. Thanks to Jen and Andrew for trusting us with their care.

We are always so honoured to receive photos and updates from the families we've cared for. We have known Jake and Steph since 2021 when Steph began her pregnancy with their beautiful daughter Naivy. Jake had to travel through the night from his work commitments in Brisbane to arrive in time for Naivy's birth, and this was made harder as it was in the midst of the COVID crisis. They moved overseas for a few years before returning to their home of North Queensland in time for Steph's pregnancy with Dustyn. Now they are accomplished parents who seem to take everything in their stride. Congratulations guys, and thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos with us.

With our move this week, it seems like the perfect time to properly introduce Dr Corrine Lu! Some of our patients have already met the lovely Dr Lu, as she joined our practice in 2024 on a part-time basis. In 2025, we are lucky that she will continue to work with us in a visiting role each month.
Dr Lu is a Specialist Gynaecologist who has been working in healthcare for over 25 years in both Australia and Britain.
She completed her medical degree and specialist qualifications after previously completing her Bachelor of Nursing and post-graduate Certificates in Critical Care and Midwifery (distinction). It was in this work that she found her passion for working within women’s health. Outside of work Dr Lu enjoys time with her family, hanging out with their two dogs, exercising and being part of a fun book club and church.
Dr Lu has been a wonderful influence on our practice, with her calm and friendly demeanour, and we look forward to working with her throughout 2025 and into the future!

Today’s the day! We welcome our patients to our new rooms just a few doors closer to the stairs in our same building, Lister House. We kindly ask that non-urgent calls be deferred today as we make sure our systems are working and figure out where we put everything!

We have run out of room and can't wait to see our clients and colleagues in our new location: three doors down in the same building! Ours will be the first faces you see when you leave the stairs/lift when we move into Suite 2A at Lister House from Monday, January 13. There are no changes to our phone or fax numbers, and we expect our phones and internet to be working just fine on Monday morning. However, we will likely be a bit frazzled next week as we find a new home for everything. Thanks for your patience with us!

The TOG team had a wonderful Christmas dinner recently at Palola. We are so lucky to have our lovely staff members, who look after Dr Aubrey and Dr Lu so well. Happy Christmas and holiday season to our patients and colleagues, and here’s to a wonderful 2025!

Just like always, this little one was trying to place every limb in front of their face before we snapped this quick image during 4D. Camera shy babies are definitely the norm, but we got a little peek this time! 🩷 💙 🧐

Our practice is a proud sponsor and supporter of TheatreiNQ, Townsville's own professional theatre company. Their latest Shakespeare Under The Stars production of As You Like It is a riot from start to finish. Get your picnic hamper out and don't miss your chance to see this amazing show!
