This week was a particularly sad week for the Health First team as we said goodbye to one of our favourite Doctors.

Some people leave a lasting mark on a place and Dr Sarah Bothe is certainly one of them.

Her kindness, professionalism and genuine dedication have made a lasting impact, and she will be truly missed by both our team and the many patients she has supported.

We wish her all the very best for her new adventure and thank her for all she has given to our Practice.

🌟 Planning Ahead Matters 🌟
Did you know that signing up to My Aged Care early can make a huge difference when support is needed later on? Getting registered ahead of time helps avoid delays and ensures you or your loved ones can access services smoothly when the time comes.

Booking an Over 75 Health Assessment with your GP is also a great opportunity to explore your care needs and get guidance on the My Aged Care process.

We’ve put together a helpful infographic with everything you need to know — from how to register to what services are available. 💙

If you have questions or need help getting started, our clinic team is here to support you.

💉 It’s time for the final instalment of our vaccination series!
This week, we’re focusing on older adults — a group for whom staying up to date with vaccinations is especially important.

As we age, our immune system naturally weakens, making it harder to fight off infections. Vaccinations can help protect against serious illnesses like influenza, pneumonia, shingles, and COVID-19.
Your GP can guide you on which vaccines are recommended based on your age, health conditions, and vaccination history.

Keeping up to date with vaccinations is a simple, powerful way to protect your health and maintain your independence.

Thank you for following along with our series — stay well, stay informed, and stay protected!
