🎄🌟🎅 🎄🌟🎅 🎄🌟🎅 🎄🌟🎅

Due to all the upcoming public holidays and doctors on leave, this Christmas season at Iona is very busy, and we have limited appointments available. If your health matter is routine, please be aware that we may not offer you an appointment until after the Christmas break (or when your regular GP returns from leave).

We will always do our very best to accommodate urgent health matters, including sick children.

During this time, please also remember we offer an after-hours service through Hello Home Doctor. This service is bulk-billed, and Hello Home Doctor will send a report to Iona regarding your home visit. To organise an appointment, please call us any time after 5pm and your call will be diverted to Hello Home Doctor.

Thank you for your understanding.

Measles outbreaks are currently occurring across Australia, including right here in Queensland.

Iona Medical Centre is providing measles-containing vaccine (MMR) to eligible individuals under the National Immunisation Program.

Who is eligible?
1. People born during or after 1966
- Two doses of a measles-containing vaccine are recommended and funded.
- If you do not have documented evidence of two doses, you are eligible for funded catch-up vaccination.

2. Infants at increased risk (6 to 11 months old)
An early additional MMR dose is recommended and funded for infants who:
- Are travelling to countries where measles is endemic or circulating, or
- Are living in or travelling to areas of Australia with current outbreaks.

This dose should follow an individual risk assessment by your healthcare provider. These infants will still require their routine MMR vaccinations at 12 months and 18 months.

For more information, visit the Queensland Health vaccine schedule:

To book an appointment, please call reception on 4632 2331.

The "Gift of Hope Appeal" embodies the true spirit of Christmas and is a way for our community members to reach out to those who may be less fortunate and offer a little extra love and support when it's needed most.

If you'd like to be a part of our "Gift of Hope Appeal" and help us bring smiles to the faces of these wonderful children, come into reception at Iona Medical Centre and pick a tag which identifies a child by age and gender who you can then buy a gift for or you are welcome to drop in a gift for a child aged 0-17.

Please leave your gift unwrapped because there is a list of specific children who have been identified as likely to go without a gift this Christmas.

Iona Medical Centre staff are dressed in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This serves as a way to promote women’s health at the practice and to educate women on the importance of regular breast checks.

If you notice anything unusual, make sure you book an appointment with your GP as soon as you are able to - Early detection can save your life.
