💉 Needle-free flu protection for kids? Yes, it’s here! 👃

At Brooke Street Medical Centre, we understand that flu vaccinations can be stressful for some children—especially those who feel anxious about needles.

That’s why the GP and nursing team offer FluMist®, a needle-free flu vaccine delivered as a quick and gentle nasal spray.

✔️ No needles
✔️ Quick and painless
✔️ Well tolerated by children
✔️ Comparable protection to traditional flu vaccines

FluMist® is a TGA-approved option for eligible children (generally aged 2–17 years) and can make getting vaccinated a much more positive experience.

While it’s not funded under the National Immunisation Program, it is available as a private option for families who prefer a needle-free alternative. Speak with the GP or nurse to see if FluMist® is suitable for your child. Learn more or book: https://bit.ly/41Igkup

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.

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

Bulk Billed Endometriosis Ultrasounds – Thursday 16 April

Endometriosis affects more than one million Australians, yet the average time to diagnosis is still around 6.5 years, often requiring laparoscopic surgery to confirm.

To help improve access to specialised imaging, In-House Radiology will be bulk billing all endometriosis pelvic ultrasounds on Thursday 16 April as part of a Specialised Endometriosis Ultrasound Training Day.

During the training day, sonographers will undertake advanced education in endometriosis ultrasound techniques to further strengthen specialised diagnostic services.

Appointments are limited and a referral is required.

If you are experiencing symptoms that may relate to endometriosis, speak with your GP to discuss whether this assessment may be appropriate.

To learn more or make a booking, contact our In-House Radiology office on 7065 0866.

March 19 is National Close the Gap Day.

This year's theme: Agency, Leadership, Reform — ensuring the survival, dignity and wellbeing of First Nations peoples.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians still face a life expectancy gap of around eight years compared to non-Indigenous Australians. Closing that gap starts with access to the right care at the right time.

The 715 Health Check is a free, comprehensive health assessment available to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of any age, every 9 to 12 months. It covers physical, mental, and social wellbeing, and opens the door to additional bulk-billed allied health services, follow-up care, and chronic disease management.
Right now, only about 30% of eligible people are getting their health check. That number needs to change.

If you or a family member are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, contact your local GP or Aboriginal Medical Service and ask about booking a 715 Health Check. It takes under an hour and is government funded.

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

GPs are currently having more conversations about neurodiversity than ever. And that's a good thing.

ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Tourette syndrome. These conditions show up differently in every person. Sometimes they present as difficulty concentrating. Sometimes it's sensory overwhelm, social exhaustion, or struggles with organisation that have been there for as long as someone can remember.

For many adults, these conditions weren't picked up as children. The signs were there, but they didn't fit the stereotype. They found ways to cope, to mask, to push through. Years later, something prompts the question.

That question is always worth asking.

If you've been wondering whether your brain works a little differently, talk to your GP. A conversation is the first step toward understanding, support, and the right plan for you.
