Don’t forget to book your annual flu vaccine! 🤧 🤒🦠

At Reynella Medical Centre, we are running dedicated flu vaccine clinics to make it quick and easy for you to stay protected this season.

What is influenza?
Influenza (the flu) is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause fever, cough, body aches, and fatigue — and in some cases, serious complications requiring hospitalisation.

Who should get vaccinated?
Flu vaccination is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over.

Why every year?
The flu virus changes each year, and immunity from the vaccine decreases over time. That’s why an annual flu shot is the best way to stay protected.

Free vaccines are available under the National Immunisation Program for eligible patients, including:
✔️ Children aged 6 months to under 5 years
✔️ Adults aged 65 years and over
✔️ Pregnant women
✔️ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
✔️ People with certain medical conditions

For patients not eligible for a free vaccine, private flu vaccines are available for $22.

🗓️ Appointments are now open in our dedicated clinics

Is it necessary to get a cervical screening test if you’ve been through menopause? Yes.

The National Cervical Screening Program recommends all women between the age of 25 and 74 have regular cervical screening tests to reduce the likelihood of developing cervical cancer.

You should still continue regular screening after menopause even if you are no longer sexually active or only had one partner.

It's always best to speak to your healthcare provider about your screening options. For further information you can also call the National Cancer Screening Register on 1800 627 701.

🌸 Perimenopause or Menopause? You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone.

Are you noticing changes in your body but not sure what’s causing them?

Perimenopause and Menopause can bring a range of symptoms, including:
• Hot flushes & night sweats
• Irregular periods
• Sleep disturbance
• Mood changes or anxiety
• Brain fog
• Weight changes
• Joint aches

Many women experience symptoms for years before seeking support — often thinking they just need to “push through.”

At Reynella Medical Centre, our GPs offer comprehensive Menopause Health Assessments to:
✔ Review your symptoms and medical history
✔ Discuss treatment options
✔ Provide lifestyle guidance
✔ Create a personalised management plan

This stage of life is natural — but struggling through it alone isn’t necessary.
Support is available.

Speak to your GP today to see if you're eligible for a Menopause Health Assessment.

While Parkinson's is widely known for motor symptoms such as tremor or poor balance, what happens beneath the surface can be just as significant.

Parkinson’s disease occurs when the brain stops producing enough dopamine - the chemical responsible for controlling movement, balance, automatic functions of the body and mood.

Many of its lesser-known symptoms are ones you simply can't see, including sleep disturbances like acting out dreams and sleep talking, persistent fatigue and a slowing of thoughts.

Around half of all people with Parkinson's also experience anxiety and depression. This can often include apathy, a loss of interest in people and activities caused by low dopamine.

Letting family and friends know these are recognised symptoms can make a real difference.

If you or someone you love needs support, call the Hospital Research Foundation - Parkinson’s info line on 1800 644 189 for counselling, information, and guidance.

A free 1:1 nursing service is also available to provide information of how to manage symptoms and connect with community supports.
