We are trying to make a positive difference to how primary care interacts with it's communities and how communities interact with their health. It's a work in progress, but at this stage I feel it's time to open this conversation up to the community. I hope this FB page will be part of an ongoing conversation about our health.

☀️ March is Melanoma Awareness Month

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, but the good news is that melanoma can often be successfully treated when detected early.

This March, during Melanoma March, we encourage everyone to take a moment to check their skin and book a skin check with their GP if they notice anything new or changing.

🔎 Know what to look for – the ABCDE signs of melanoma:
• A – Asymmetry: one half doesn’t match the other
• B – Border: irregular, ragged or blurred edges
• C – Colour: uneven colour or multiple shades
• D – Diameter: larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)
• E – Evolving: changing in size, shape, colour or symptoms

🌞 Protect your skin every day:
✔ Slip on protective clothing
✔ Slop on SPF 50+ sunscreen
✔ Slap on a hat
✔ Seek shade
✔ Slide on sunglasses

If you have a spot that looks different from the rest or has changed recently, don’t wait – book a skin check with our team. Early detection saves lives.

📞 Contact reception to make an appointment.

🌍 World Cancer Day – 4 February 🌍

Today we recognise World Cancer Day, a global day to raise awareness, encourage prevention, and support those affected by cancer.

Cancer can touch anyone — whether personally, through a loved one, or within our wider community. While not all cancers can be prevented, early detection, regular health checks, and open conversations with your GP can make a real difference.

This World Cancer Day, we encourage you to:
• Attend regular health screenings
• Pay attention to changes in your body
• Seek medical advice if something doesn’t feel right
• Support and show kindness to those affected

Our team is here to support you with preventative care, screenings, and ongoing health concerns.

Together, through awareness and early action, we can make a difference. 💛

💙 February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent” cancer because its symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked. Awareness is key to early detection.

Some symptoms to be mindful of include:
• Persistent bloating
• Abdominal or pelvic pain
• Feeling full quickly or difficulty eating
• Changes in bowel or bladder habits
• Ongoing fatigue

If these symptoms are new, persistent, or worsening, it’s important to speak with your GP.

Early conversations can make a difference. If you’re concerned about your symptoms or have a family history of ovarian or related cancers, our doctors are here to support you.

Let’s keep the conversation going and help spread awareness this February. 💙

📞 To book an appointment, please contact the practice or book online.

🦠 Antimicrobial Awareness Week — Preventing Resistance Together 💚

This week is Antimicrobial Awareness Week, a time to raise awareness about the responsible use of antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines.

Antimicrobials (like antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics) are vital for treating infections — but when they’re used too often or incorrectly, bacteria and other germs can become resistant. This makes infections harder to treat in the future.

At Robertson Doctor, we’re committed to using antimicrobials wisely to protect both individual and community health. 🌿

If you’re feeling unwell, our GPs can assess your symptoms and help determine the most appropriate treatment — whether that’s antibiotics or another form of care.

Together, we can help keep these life-saving medicines effective for generations to come. 💊

📞 Call us on (02) 4885 2569 or book online via HotDoc to see your GP.

💗 Robertson Doctor Supports Cervical Cancer Awareness Week 💗

Cervical Cancer Awareness Week is a time for us to spread knowledge, bust myths, and remind every person with a cervix that prevention and regular screening can make a huge difference.

Here are some important facts you may not know:

In Australia, cervical cancer is highly preventable through two key strategies: HPV vaccination and regular cervical screening.
(agcf.org.au)

The current guidelines recommend that people aged 25–74 with a cervix do a Cervical Screening Test every five years.
(kemh.health.wa.gov.au)

Since self-collection kits were introduced (for eligible people), there is now more flexibility in how screening can be done, helping those who may feel uncomfortable or face barriers with clinician-collected tests.
(NATA)

Australia is working toward a major health goal: eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem by around 2035.
(acpcc.org.au)

Here’s how you can be part of the effort (even without fundraising):

Stay up to date with screening. If it’s been a while, schedule your Cervical Screening Test.

Talk openly with friends or family about cervical health — knowing the facts helps more people take action.

If eligible, use the self-collection option — it offers privacy and can help overcome barriers.

Make sure HPV vaccination is up to date according to national guidelines.

At Robertson Doctor, we believe in empowering our patients with information. If you’re unsure about when you last screened, or which option is best for you, come in and we’re happy to discuss what makes sense.

Let’s work together so that cervical cancer becomes history. Because knowledge + action = prevention.

💙 World Diabetes Day – 14 November 2025 💙

This year marks World Diabetes Day – a global reminder that diabetes affects thousands of people in our community and we’re all in this together.

The theme for 2024-26 is “Diabetes and Well-being”, with a special focus in 2025 on diabetes in the workplace: how to support our well-being both physically and mentally, every day.

Here at Robertson Doctor, we’re committed to helping you live well with diabetes — or reduce your risk if you don’t have it — and we’d like to share a few simple ways you can join us:

🔹 Know your numbers – If you’re at risk (family history, overweight, inactive), talk to your GP about a check-up.
🔹 Make well-being a priority – Balanced diet, regular movement, good sleep and managing stress all support healthy blood sugar and overall wellness.
🔹 If you live with diabetes – Stay up to date with your check-ups, discuss any challenges (physical or mental) with your GP, and know we’re here to support you in your journey.
🔹 At work and beyond – Whether you’re in an office, field job or shift work, your health matters. It’s OK to ask for what you need to stay well.

📞 If you’d like to book a diabetes review, a health check-up or simply talk about ways to support your well-being, call us on (02) 4885 2569 or book online via HotDoc.

Let’s commit together to a future where diabetes doesn’t limit the life you want to live. 💚

💙 Movember – Let’s Talk Men’s Health 💙

November is Movember, a month dedicated to raising awareness of men’s health issues — including mental health, su***de prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Here are some important facts to keep in mind:

1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Men are three times more likely than women to die by su***de.

Early detection and regular check-ups save lives.

Even if you’re not participating in fundraising this year, there are simple ways you can get involved and support men’s health:

Check in with the men in your life — a conversation can make a huge difference.

Encourage loved ones to book routine health checks.

Educate yourself and others about signs, symptoms, and preventive health measures.

Focus on your own wellbeing — physical and mental health matter.

At Robertson Doctor, we’re committed to supporting the health of all our patients, including men’s health. This Movember, let’s raise awareness, start conversations, and take action — no matter how small.

✅ A vaccination reminder

✅ Test results that have arrived

There’s no need to worry — it’s simply a friendly reminder to book an appointment with your regular GP.

You can book online via HotDoc or call us on (02) 4885 2569 to make an appointment.
