What to know a bit more about how to protect your family?

Measles is a highly contagious infection that can cause serious complications in children.

17/09/2025

Cairns has a measles outbreak, with several hospital admissions already.
Measles is highly contagious, and virus particles can stay in the air for several hours after an infected person has been there.

If you have any of the following: red eyes, fever, cough, red spots in the roof of your mouth and a few days later develop a rash, please phone your doctors office and make a phone or video consultation. We can assist without you needing to leave home, and order testing.

👨‍⚕️ Hi, I’m Dr Tom Wright.

I grew up in Sydney, and my work has taken me to Darwin and even Timor-Leste before moving here to Cairns to complete my GP training. Those experiences taught me the importance of compassion, listening, and truly tailoring care to each person I meet.

I enjoy all aspects of general practice, but I have particular interests in:
👩‍⚕️ Women’s & Children’s Health — from pregnancy and contraception to cancer screening and menopause
☀️ Skin Cancer & Chronic Disease — early detection and long-term management for better wellbeing
🩺 Personalised Care — creating practical health plans that fit your life and goals

For me, healthcare should be straightforward, personal, and built on trust. If that sounds like the kind of care you’re looking for, I’d be glad to meet you.

📅 Book your appointment with me at Stratford Medical Centre — I’m welcoming both new and existing patients.
