I am Dr Mlawanda, aka Dr M or simply Ganni and am a FACRRM-qualified specialist GP with over 20 years of clinical experience, gained primarily in South Africa.
Apart from core rural generalist skills, I have special interest in youth health, dermatology & mental health.
My approach to care is holistic and person-centred, grounded in the belief that humans are not all about organs, organelles & organisms, but about context, connection, and meaning.
I have a strong understanding of youth issues and recognise that young people are not simply “small adults” — their physical, psychological, cultural and social needs are unique and evolving. Youth are individuals first, diagnoses second: hence need for personalised care. I aim to provide a personalised, safe, respectful and collaborative space where young people feel heard and supported.
Outside of clinical work, I enjoy maths & statistics, fishing, jogging and travelling, which help me maintain balance and perspective.

Supporting your young person this summer? We're here for you. 💚

The school holidays can bring changes and challenges for young people and their family, especially with the recent social media restrictions. If you're looking for ideas, support or someone to talk to, eheadspace is here to help.

Our free online and phone support service is available 7 days a week, from 3pm-10pm - even during the holidays. Our trained professionals can help you understand what your young person might be experiencing and offer practical strategies to support them.

You don't have to navigate this alone. We're here to help you be there for them 🌟

It's Work & Study Wednesday
The IPS Work & Study team were recently transported to Toadwarts for our staff Christmas party. Unfortunately our owls were late so we didn't get to stay, but the night we spent there was lots of fun and we used our skill sets to find the missing Philosopher's Scone.
These photos and more can be seen on our new and improved Meet the team & brag board displays at the headspace office. Come in for a look at 16-20 Railway Parade and to find out more about how the team can use their witchcraft & wizardry to help your reach your work & study related goals.
