Important Update

While we are still welcoming new patient registrations with Dr Marian Hakim and Dr Mathew Pittappillil, please note that due to several GPs being on leave, including Dr Pittappillil, appointment availability leading up to the holiday period is limited and there is now a wait time of approximately 4 weeks for initial appointments for New Patients.

Our GPs who are still consulting are doing their very best to accommodate urgent and unexpected appointment needs for our current patients. However, we kindly ask for your understanding that it may not be possible to meet every additional request during this busy time.

We respectfully remind patients to treat our practice staff with kindness and respect. Any form of aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as our GPs and staff take well earned breaks.

Australian National Skin Cancer Week
16th-22nd of November ☀️

Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, and around 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed in their lifetime. When it comes to UV exposure, it doesn’t take long for skin damage including sunburn to occur. Over exposure to UV radiation causes up to 95% of melanomas, and UV levels across Australia reach extreme levels throughout summer.

Don’t let the sun catch you off guard.
The good news? Skin cancer is almost entirely preventable. Make sun protection part of your daily routine and remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide.

Slip on sun protective clothing.
Slop on broad spectrum SPF50/50+ sunscreen (20 minutes before going outdoors, and reapply every 2 hours).
Slap on a broad brim or legionnaire style hat
Seek shade whenever possible.
Slide on sunglasses that meet Australian Standards.

It’s also important to get to know your skin. If you notice any new spots or changes in the size, shape or colour of an existing spot, don’t wait, early detection can save lives.

We’re here to help:
Our GPs provide comprehensive skin cancer checks, and we also offer total body photography for thorough monitoring and early detection.

Book your skin check today and stay sun safe this summer.
