Welcome to headspace Port Augusta Dr M!!

headspace Port Augusta are thrilled to welcome Dr Mlawanda to our centre. If you are aged between 12-25 and would like to book an appointment or find out more information please contact the centre on 86414300. Dr Mlawanda will be consulting at headspace one day a month, starting on Wednesday the 21st of January 2026.

This headspace centre has been made possible by funding from Country SA PHN


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.

Navigating the NDIS can feel confusing, especially when you’re trying to work out which supports are right for you.

Our Support Coordinators are here to make the process clearer and easier to manage.

We work alongside you to understand your goals, explore local services and connect you with providers that best suit your needs.

For many people, our Coordination of Supports service offers ongoing guidance to help you use your NDIS plan confidently and resolve any issues along the way.

For participants with more complex needs, we also offer Specialised Support Coordination.

This short-term, intensive support helps bring the right services together and keeps things moving toward your goals.

No matter where you are on your NDIS journey, you don’t have to do it alone.
