Steroid Joint Injection Service Now Available at Our Clinic

We are pleased to offer a steroid joint injection service at our clinic, providing patients with another treatment option to help manage joint pain and improve mobility.

Steroid Joint injections can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve movement, making everyday activities more comfortable and supporting better quality of life.

Benefits of injections may include:
• Reduction in joint pain
• Decreased swelling and stiffness
• Improved mobility and daily function
• May reduce the need for other medications

Steroid Joint injections are commonly performed and are generally considered safe. As with any medical procedure, your doctor will discuss the benefits, risks, and any potential side effects with you to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your condition.

We are excited to continue expanding the services available to our community and provide more comprehensive musculoskeletal care.

If you are experiencing ongoing joint pain, stiffness, or reduced movement, we encourage you to visit our clinic and speak with your doctor about whether steroid joint injections may be suitable for you.

Melanoma Awareness – March

March is a time to raise awareness about melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. It develops in the skin’s pigment cells and can spread to other parts of the body if not detected early.

Australia has one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world, and around 95% of cases are linked to UV exposure.

Simple steps can help reduce your risk:
• Seek shade during the hottest part of the day
• Wear sun-protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses
• Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen and reapply regularly
• Avoid sunburn and excessive sun exposure

Melanoma often appears as a new spot on the skin or a change in an existing mole, so it’s important to be familiar with your skin and notice any changes.

If you notice any new or changing spots, or would simply like a general skin check, we encourage you to see your doctor or visit our clinic for an assessment.

12/03/2026

Please note that Australian Clinical Labs (ACL) located at Virginia Medical Centre will have updated operating hours effective from Saturday 14th March.

Operating Hours (from 14th March):
Monday – Friday: 7:30am – 3:00pm
Saturday: 7:30am – 12:00pm

Please note there is no change to the medical centre’s operating hours.

Patients attending for pathology services are reminded to bring their pathology request form with them, as medical centre staff will not be available to provide copies outside of the medical centre’s operating hours.

We are also pleased to share that ACL will now operate two collection rooms, six days a week from Saturday 14th March, helping improve access and reduce wait times for patients requiring pathology services.

Thank you.

Teal Ribbon Day – Ovarian Cancer Awareness 💙
25 February

Teal Ribbon Day, held on 25 February, is part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, recognised throughout February. It is a time to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, honour those affected, and acknowledge the important work being done in research, education, and care.

Ovarian cancer is often referred to as a “silent disease” because its symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked. Increasing awareness of the signs and risk factors is critical to improving early detection and outcomes.

Throughout February, we stand with individuals and families impacted by ovarian cancer, remember those we have lost, and recognise the dedication of healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates working to create change.

If you notice persistent or unusual symptoms, have concerns about your health, or have a family history of ovarian cancer, we encourage you to speak with your doctor or visit our clinic for advice and assessment. Early conversations are important.

For more information, please visit https://www.ovariancancer.net.au/

RedFeb – Heart Research Month ❤️

February is RedFeb – Heart Research Month, a time to raise awareness of heart health and the importance of life-saving research.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death, affecting individuals and families across our community. Research plays a vital role in prevention, early detection, and improved treatment—helping more people live longer, healthier lives.

RedFeb is an opportunity to reflect on heart health, increase awareness of risk factors, and encourage conversations about prevention and early detection.

If you have concerns about your heart health, a family history of heart disease, or are due for a routine check-up, we encourage you to see your doctor or visit our clinic to discuss heart health screening and prevention.

Together, small steps can help protect heart health now and into the future.
