IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Today we were deeply moved and honoured when one of our patients surprised us with a Welcome to Country and a beautiful piece of Aboriginal artwork. 🌿🎨

It was an incredibly special moment — a heartfelt gesture that reminded us of the deep cultural richness and generosity of spirit within our community.

We are truly grateful for this gift and the connection it represents.

Thank you for sharing something so meaningful with us. 🖤💛❤️

Meet Dr Mohammad Al-Ahmad, a dedicated general practitioner starting soon at Warilla Family Medical Practice.

Dr Al-Ahmad:
I am a dedicated and compassionate General Practitioner with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality, holistic care. With several years of medical experience, including a background as an emergency physician and completion of the RACGP fellowship, I have worked across diverse healthcare settings—urban, rural, and Indigenous communities. My clinical approach focuses on patient-centered care, ensuring that each individual feels heard, supported, and empowered to manage their health.

I have developed special interests in preventative health and chronic disease management, with a strong emphasis on culturally sensitive care. My background in emergency medicine have sharpened my abilities to handle complex cases efficiently, while my general practice experience allows me to foster long-term therapeutic relationships that promote well-being for individuals and their families.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀
Did you know that 20,000 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer every year? It is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with 9 people losing their lives to the disease every day. Early detection is crucial, and it can make all the difference.

If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team of doctors for advice and screening. We’re here to support your health and well-being.

💛 RUOK Day is tomorrow, the 12th of September 💛
At Warilla Family Medical Practice, we encourage everyone to check in with those around them. It starts with a simple question: Are you okay? But don’t stop there. Here are the 4 steps to a meaningful conversation:

1️⃣ Ask: Start the conversation with, “Are you OK?”
2️⃣ Listen: Take the time to really listen to their response.
3️⃣ Encourage action: Ask if they’ve spoken to their doctor about how they’re feeling.
4️⃣ Check in: Follow up later to see how they’re doing.

Remember, we’re here to support your health—mental and physical. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to us today.

📞 Call us to book an appointment and take a step towards well-being.
