The Surgery At Jerra

16/12/2025

Heading overseas this summer? Your first stop should be your GP.

Travel plans are exciting, but different countries can expose you to different health risks.

💉 Your GP can help with:

• Travel vaccines (e.g. Hep A/B, typhoid etc)
• Prescriptions for travel sickness or altitude meds
• Safe travel advice for chronic conditions or medications

Some vaccines require multiple doses or need to be given weeks in advance, so don’t leave it last minute.

📞 Book your pre-travel consult now and take off with peace of mind.

🖐️ Fingerprints and Tongues Are Unique

Weird but true: No two people have the same fingerprints… or the same tongue print!
Your body’s unique ID is always with you. It’s a good reminder that your health care should be just as individual.

Helf, our health elf googled his symptoms.

Now he’s convinced it’s either paper cuts from too much gift wrapping … or something catastrophic!

Reminder: we’re always a better first stop than Dr Google.

Mental health concerns are now the number one reason people visit their GPs, according to a recent survey of 2,400 Australian GPs.
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners found that conditions like anxiety and depression are leading the way, followed by stress-related challenges and substance use. These issues often begin during adolescence and can become more complex over time.

The good news is that GPs aren’t working in isolation. More and more are part of multidisciplinary teams that bring together different areas of expertise to support patients in a more holistic way.

Early help matters. Seeing your GP is a key first step in identifying and managing mental health concerns before they escalate.

If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or visit Beyond Blue for 24/7 help.

Helf has started making his list for Santa. What a coincidence, our receptionist is at the top of the list when she is working today. Curious!

If you watch Bluey, you'll know what Helf has... BUM WORMS!

Shaela gives off total rock chick energy, but don’t be fooled. She’s all about country, not western, and only the American kind, thank you very much.

At work, she’s affectionately known as Shaela Rae, perfectly in line with her country music style.

She’s a big fan of Jessie Murph, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen.
Shaela loves heading to concerts whenever she can, belting out every lyric, cowboy-style.
If there’s a yeehaw to be had, she’ll be there.

Around TSAJ, she’s the friendly face who keeps the front desk buzzing, the phone lines humming and the team smiling.
Come say hello to our very own country queen of reception.

Faces of TSAJ is taking a break over the festive season and will be back in early 2026.

Looks like Helf’s feeling the holiday pressure… literally.

He wrapped himself in the blood pressure cuff to “check how stressed he is” after seeing the Christmas to-do list.

If only he’d asked a nurse instead.

This is your gentle reminder to check your blood pressure before the silly season kicks off. High BP often has no symptoms, so a quick check now can help keep you healthy over the holidays.

Pop in to see us, or use a home monitor if you have one.
Let’s keep the pressure off this Christmas.

🎄 WHO TO CHECK IN WITH THIS HOLIDAY SEASON ❤️

Christmas and the holiday season can be a wonderful time — but for many people, it can also feel heavy. Some may be navigating financial pressure, work demands, grief, recent events, or difficult family situations.

A simple check-in can make a huge difference. Think about the people in your life who might be doing it tough, including those who:

💛 Are grieving
💛 Have had a really tough year
💛 Don’t feel safe at home
💛 Are struggling financially
💛 Have been affected by natural disasters
💛 Are working over the holidays
💛 Find the festive season stressful
💛 Are unwell
💛 Have challenging family relationships
💛 Are spending the holidays alone
💛 Feel excluded at this time
💛 Are feeling overwhelmed by world events

A message, a call, or a quiet conversation can mean more than you realise. Let’s look out for one another this season. 💫

Helf’s packed the 4WD and is heading “off-road” for the holidays.

Last time he didn’t prepare and ran out of his elf-ication.

Don’t be like Helf.

✔️ Sort your regular medications
✔️ Check your appointments
✔️ Be holiday-ready

Safe travels, campers.
