Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver and the good news is, it is now curable with modern treatment. Many people have no symptoms for years, which means testing is the key to early diagnosis, treatment and preventing long-term liver damage.

If you’ve ever had potential exposure (including past blood transfusions, tattoos or injecting equipment), a simple blood test can provide clarity and peace of mind.

Did you know alcohol is now classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer — the same category as to***co smoke and asbestos? This means there’s strong evidence that alcohol increases the risk of several cancers, including breast, bowel and liver cancer.

The good news? Even small changes, such as cutting back or taking a short break, can lead to better sleep, improved mood, more energy and long-term health benefits.

Some people choose February as a natural time to reset, including taking part in FebFast, which supports alcohol harm prevention and mental health initiatives run by Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education.

If you’ve been thinking about your drinking habits, or noticing changes in sleep, mood or energy, your GP can provide confidential, non-judgemental support.

The start of the school year can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming for some children and teenagers. Changes in routine, friendships, expectations and screen use can affect sleep, mood and behaviour in ways that are not always easy to recognise.

Our latest blog shares practical guidance on:
• Signs to look out for in primary and high school–aged children
• How to support your child without pressure
• Healthy screen habits and digital balance
• When to seek extra support

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the changes it brings can feel confusing or overwhelming. From hot flushes and sleep disturbances to mood changes and fatigue, every woman experiences it differently.

Understanding what’s normal, knowing when to seek support, and exploring lifestyle or medical options can make this transition more manageable.

02/01/2026

At the start of a New Year, it’s very common to start thinking a little more seriously about your health and wellbeing. The fact is, if you are thinking this way, you’re not alone: January accounts for roughly 12% of all gym memberships started in a year, and search interest for “weight loss” and healthy living typically peaks in the first weeks of January as people set New Year’s resolutions. According to Deakin University (2025), around 74% of Australians report making a New Year’s resolution, with health, fitness and wellbeing among the most common focus areas. This isn’t just motivation, it’s a measurable pattern.

However, weight and exercise are just some components of your overall health, and we encourage a holistic view on health overall. Weight management is more than a number on the scale. Small, sustainable changes in eating, movement and daily habits can make a real difference without strict diets or guilt.

Discover practical tips for gentle, long-term weight management, including understanding your BMI, balancing energy in and out, and focusing on health beyond the scale.

Start your year with a supportive approach to your health: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0tG7n0

We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the violent events that unfolded at Bondi Beach yesterday, 14 December.

Many of those impacted are our patients, neighbours, colleagues and friends. Our thoughts are with all those affected, the individuals and families whose lives have been forever changed, those who witnessed these events, and the first responders who acted with courage and care in the face of danger.

This incident has been deeply distressing, not only for those directly involved, but for the broader community, who are left feeling shaken and vulnerable.

We have supported the wellbeing of the Sydney community for many years, and we stand with those we serve during this difficult time. Our doors remain open.

The NSW Government has made information and support resources available for individuals, families and communities affected by these events:

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a timely reminder of the importance of regular checks and early detection. Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among Australian women, with around 1 in 7 women diagnosed in their lifetime. Early detection can make a significant difference to outcomes and treatment options.

Our practice is proud to support this important initiative by offering breast check and assessment appointments, providing local patients with convenient access to this essential health service.

Our practice is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. With breast checks, patients can benefit from early detection, reassurance, and peace of mind — without the need to travel far from work or home.

Our experienced team ensures every patient feels supported and cared for in a comfortable and professional environment. This October, we encourage women to prioritise their health and take advantage of this important assessment service.

For more information or to book an appointment, please visit our website today.
