Today is National Receptionists Day.

We are incredibly proud of our receptionist and administration teams across our network. With 286 admin team members, from Juniors through to Supervisors, each plays an important role in supporting our clinics every day.

They are the first contact our patients have, whether at the front desk or on the phone, and they make all the difference to the patient experience.

To all of our medical receptionists and administration teams, on behalf of your fellow doctors, nurses and Support Office teams, we wholeheartedly thank you for the critical role you play and your ongoing support each day.

Today, we celebrate the incredible contribution of nurses across Australia and around the world.

This year’s theme of “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives” highlights the importance of supporting nurses with safe workplaces, fair recognition, and opportunities to lead. Because when nurses are empowered, patient care improves and communities are stronger.

Nurses make up the largest part of the healthcare workforce, with more than 467,000 nurses in Australia. Across Better Medical, we’re proud to have over 230 nurses caring for patients every day, providing compassionate, skilled, and essential care at every stage of life.

Today is not just about recognition, but action. Addressing workforce shortages and ensuring nurses are supported now and into the future. International Nurses Day is a reminder of the vital role nurses play in keeping our communities healthy.

To all nurses, thank you. We see you, we value you, and we appreciate everything you do.

Today, we celebrate the incredible mums, grandmothers, and mother figures who care for everyone around them — often putting their own health last.

Looking after your health is one of the most important ways you can continue to support your family. You deserve the same care and attention you give to others.

Regular check-ups with your GP are an important part of staying well. And if something doesn’t feel quite right, it’s worth getting it checked.

This Mother’s Day, take a moment for you.

On National Asthma Day, we support the Global Initiative for Asthma’s call for access to anti-inflammatory inhalers for everyone with asthma.

Asthma affects 260 million people worldwide, and over 450,000 deaths occur annually, most of which are preventable. Inhaled corticosteroids are essential for controlling asthma and preventing attacks, yet many still lack access.

At our clinic we are committed to supporting patients with asthma, ensuring they receive the care they need to manage their condition and live healthy, everyday lives.

Heart Week (4–10 May) is a great time to check in on your heart health ❤️

Many of the factors that affect your heart, like blood pressure and cholesterol, don’t always show obvious symptoms. A Heart Health Check can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

It’s a simple appointment with the doctor, usually around 20 minutes. You’ll talk through your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, family history, and lifestyle — and leave with a clearer picture of your heart health, along with practical steps to help manage it.

You may be eligible if you are:
▪ Aged 45–79
▪ An Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person aged 30 or over

Heart Week is a good reminder to book an appointment and take a proactive step for your health.

Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work.

A safe workplace goes beyond preventing injuries - it’s about protecting both physical and mental health, and creating environments where people can perform at their best.

From managing fatigue and stress to addressing workplace risks and supporting recovery, taking a proactive approach to health and safety benefits everyone.

If work is impacting your health, or you need support to stay well at work, your GP can provide guidance, treatment, and ongoing care.

April is Stress Awareness Month, and this year’s theme, Be the Change, is a reminder to take an active role in your health and wellbeing.

Stress is more common than we think, and it can show up in ways we don’t always recognise. Noticing the signs is the first step:
• Feeling overwhelmed or constantly worried
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability or mood changes
• Physical symptoms like headaches or fatigue

Being the change starts with small, everyday actions—checking in with yourself, managing stress, and prioritising your wellbeing. Over time, these actions can help build resilience and create lasting change.

If stress is impacting your health or wellbeing, your GP can help you take the next step with the right support and care.

Today is World Health Day, and this year’s theme is “Together for health. Stand with science.”

From early detection and prevention to managing ongoing conditions, your GP uses science-backed care to support your health at every stage of life.

It’s not just about treating illness — it’s about making informed decisions, accessing the right care, and building a long-term approach to your health and wellbeing.

Together for health starts with trusted advice and the right support when you need it.

If you have questions about your health or it’s time for a check-up, book an appointment with your GP.
