Our services include
Promoting Healthy Living
We provide education on all health related conditions that will allow you to make good choices that ultimately lead to improved health and longevity.
Children’s Health and Immunisations
The doctors can advise on children’s health, baby care matters and infant problems with feeding, growth and development etc.
We give the full range of immunisations for infants and children. The Health Department provides most immunisations free of charge to the practice.
We have experienced Nursing staff who are able to give your child their immunisations in conjunction with a doctor review.
Please ask reception staff at the time of booking your appointment when the most suitable time to book is and what option you would like.
Skin Checks and Minor Surgery
Minor surgery including suturing of lacerations and treatment of minor fractures are carried out in the practice. All surgical
equipment is either single use sterile items or sterilised instruments using autoclave under Australian sterilisation and Infection control guidelines.
Complete skin checks can be performed by all doctors. Some minor lesions can be removed at our surgery, or you can be referred on to a Specialist for ongoing care.
Asthma and Diabetes Care
Regular monitoring of each of these conditions can encourage a healthier approach to life and avoid possible future complications.
Our recall system is a regular prompt for affected patients to keep themselves in control of their condition. Medical evidence suggests that prevention of complications from these conditions can be secured by early and long term use of medication.
Travel Health and Vaccination Service
Immunisations and advice for travellers to overseas destinations can be provided. We are also an accredited Yellow Fever Vaccination centre. An appointment at least 6 weeks before your trip is advisable. Please enquire if we have the vaccine you require before your appointment.
Preventative Heath Care
Regular screening and vaccination saves lives and secures the health of future generations. We are fortunate in Queensland to have government funding of several new vaccines.
There are also initiatives such as bowel cancer screening, mammography, nutritional advice, skin checks, pap smears, cholesterol profiles and bone density screening which can help individuals improve their health.
Comprehensive Mature Aged Health Care
The reality of confronting illness and losing the abilities to maintain our independence increases significantly after reaching 75 years of age.
Arranging for additional support services to help our older patients who choose to live in their own home is a vital part of our practice role.
Patients who have relocated into aged care facilities can still continue to have medical care provided by the practice. Please discuss with your doctor to arrange visits.
