In concluding Breast Cancer Awareness month, this is your friendly reminder to book your next/first breast screen. If you are a woman aged 40 or over (not 50, as is the common misconception) you are eligible for a free screening (mammogram) every 2 years.

The mobile screening bus will be returning to Tanunda from July to November 2026. Otherwise, for other fixed and mobile locations, please check out the link below for details.

In the meantime, regardless of gender, if you are concerned about any symptoms or changes in your breasts, please call us on 8562 2444 to make an appointment to see your doctor.

We have 3 mobile screening units travelling to country regions around South Australia and 8 clinics based in Adelaide.

Today is World Menopause day.

For women hitting this milestone in life, the symptoms may be intense and relentless. Even those lucky enough to have mild or no symptoms, there are many changes our bodies go through at this stage.

This year's theme is "Lifestyle Medicine in Menopausal Health" highlighting how lifestyle medicine can ease menopausal symptoms, reduce chronic-disease risk and support women’s long-term health, serving as a practical, evidence-based resource for healthcare professionals worldwide.

For more information on how this initiative may help you, please check out https://www.imsociety.org/education/world-menopause-day-2025/

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and inevitably you or someone you know has been affected by breast cancer.

Did you know that women aged 40 and above can receive free mammograms every two years through the BreastScreen Australia program. Don't wait to be actively invited from the age of 50, be proactive and get in early.

In the meantime, keep up with self-checks. Know your breasts, and take action if something is not quite right. See your GP if you have any concerns.

Early detection and quick action could make all the difference in outcomes.

We know we don't need a special day to be asking our loved ones R U OK? but today is the official R U OK day so if you haven't checked in on your friends, family members, partner, or colleagues recently here's your friendly reminder.

Due to availability, our staff will be coming together on Tuesday 16th to share morning tea, and ensuring our colleagues are OK.

Going forward, don't be afraid to check in with the people you care about and ask R U OK? (Any Day). It may feel like a small gesture to you, but you could be making a huge difference to someone, maybe even save their life. Below are some tips on what you might say during your conversation.
