Mental Health Month is a national event celebrated every October that aims to improve community awareness and understanding of mental health and wellbeing.

It's an opportunity to encourage everyone in our community to talk about mental health, check in on those we care for, and help people find the resources they need.

Taking care of your mental wellbeing is just as important as taking care of your physical health.

Australian Asthma Handbook UPDATE: 2025

The National Asthma Council of Australia (NAC) has released significant updates to the Australian Asthma Handbook, bringing Australia's asthma management guidelines into closer alignment with international practice.

What's Changed: Core Treatment Recommendations

Following asthma diagnosis, it is recommended that adults and adolescents (patients 12 years and over) with mild disease start treatment with low-dose budesonide-formoterol taken as needed when symptoms occur (anti-inflammatory reliever (AIR) therapy).

Replaces traditional SABA (salbutamol) as first-line relief medication
Only formoterol-containing combinations are approved for this indication, as formoterol works as quickly and effectively as salbutamol (3-5 minutes) with longer duration of action
Your asthma treatment now targets the cause, not just the symptoms.

If you are 12 and over we recommend speaking with your doctor to find out the right course of action for you and your asthma plan.

02/10/2025

From October 2nd, our appointment fees will be changing to reflect updated practice costs.

We remain committed to providing quality care to our patients. If you have any concerns, please contact reception if you'd like more information about the new pricing. structure.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) takes place every October to shine a light on the devastating impact breast cancer has on thousands of Australians each day.

The Numbers:

Every year, over 21,000 people in Australia (including around 200 men) are diagnosed with breast cancer

Every day, 58 people receive a breast cancer diagnosis

Over 3,300 Australians die from breast cancer annually that's someone's mother, sister, friend, or family member whose life has been tragically cut short

Early Detection Saves Lives

It is important to be aware of how your breasts normally look and feel so you can identify any unusual changes. Some people have no symptoms, and breast cancer is only found during a screening mammogram.

See your GP if you notice:
A lump or thickening in the breast, especially if only in one breast Changes to the shape or size of the breast Ni**le changes crusting, sores, ulcers, redness, or inversion Skin changes dimpling, rash, scaly appearance, or unusual colour Fluid leaking or discharge from the ni**le without squeezing Persistent, unusual pain that doesn't go away Swelling or discomfort in the armpit

Book an appointment today if you have any concerns about breast health.

About Us

Pear Tree Family Practice is a family owned, independent healthcare practice. We are not affiliated with a big corporate medical group or a pharmacy. All our doctors are fellows of the RACGP (Royal Australian College of General Practice), which means that upon completion of their medical training they undertook further training in the specialty of general practice. We aim to provide the same standard of care we would like our own family to receive; thorough, high quality, current, all-inclusive care with a strong emphasis on preventative health.
