At Next Practice Deakin, we believe care starts with listening.

That’s why we’re delighted to welcome Pooja, Audiologist and founder of Candid Hearing, to our community.

With more than 10 years’ experience in Australia, Pooja provides tailored hearing assessments and rehabilitation, supporting individuals to stay connected to the people and conversations that matter most.

Her philosophy aligns closely with our purpose — to make a positive difference to our patients and our community. She will provide services in the clinic and to our patients in residential aged care.

Thank you to our wonderful nursing team on primary care nurses day.

04/02/2026

Today is Primary Care Nurses Day — a moment to pause, reflect, and say a very big thank you.

At Next Practice, our nurses are at the heart of the care we provide every single day.
They support comprehensive health assessments and care plans, deliver immunisations, assist with minor procedures, and carry out essential diagnostic tests such as ECGs and spirometry. Just as importantly, they work alongside patients on prevention, education, and health coaching — often building the strongest and most trusted relationships in care.

Our Nurse Practitioners bring deep clinical expertise to people living with complex health needs — assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients who benefit from continuity, coordination, and a truly team-based approach.

Primary care simply does not work without nurses. Their skill, compassion, judgement, and commitment are invaluable — and they are absolutely critical members of the team as we strive to make a positive difference to our patients and our community.

Today, and every day, we’re grateful. 💚

Cervical Cancer Screening - book an appointment at deakin.nextpracticehealth.com

Cervical screening is an essential tool in preventing cervical cancer – but many people are unsure if, or when, they need a test.

This Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, we've teamed up with RANZCOG to develop a guide to help you understand who needs screening, when to see a GP, and how often a Cervical Screening Test is recommended.

The Cervical Screening Test checks for human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes almost all cases of cervical cancer. Detecting HPV early saves lives by helping prevent cancer before it develops. You can choose to have a healthcare provider collect the sample using a speculum and small brush, or you can self-collect the sample using a small swab. Both options are equally as accurate at detecting HPV.

💬 If you are experiencing symptoms you are concerned about, or are unsure what applies to you, speak with your GP.
