Spring is approaching. But for many Australians, UV exposure is part of the working day all year round.

For those who work outdoors, in construction, trades, landscaping, transport, agriculture, education, sport or other outdoor roles, sun exposure isn’t just something that happens at the beach

Cancer Council Australia reports that outdoor workers can receive between five and ten times more UV exposure than indoor workers, with occupational UV exposure estimated to contribute to around 200 melanomas and 34,000 other skin cancers in Australia each year.

And new data released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in August 2026 provides an important reminder of just how common skin cancer is in Australia: approximately 500,000 Australians have a common non-melanoma skin cancer surgically removed each year.

As we move towards the warmer months, it’s a good prompt to think about the skin you live and work in.

☀️ Make sun protection part of the working day.

🧢 Think beyond sunscreen: clothing, hats, shade and sunglasses all play a role.

🔎 Get to know your own skin and be aware of new or changing spots.

👩‍⚕️ Talk with your GP if you have concerns about your skin or whether a skin check may be appropriate for you.

Across Top Health Doctors, our GPs provide skin cancer checks, assessment and ongoing management as part of comprehensive primary healthcare.

Before summer gets into full swing, put your skin on your health checklist.

It’s always great to see our Top Health Doctors Directors connecting across our clinics. 💚

Dr Kah Ho visited our newly opened Top Health Doctors Dutton Park clinic, catching up with our Dutton Park Director and seeing the new clinic in action.

As Top Health Doctors continues to grow, these connections are an important part of who we are: sharing ideas, supporting one another and maintaining a collaborative, doctor-led approach across our group.

We’re incredibly excited to see Dutton Park now open and welcoming patients in the heart of the Boggo Road Village precinct.

A great moment to capture two of our Directors together and celebrate another exciting chapter for Top Health Doctors.

💊 Advice about medications and prescriptions while travelling
🦟 Mosquito and insect-borne illness prevention
🍽️ Food and water safety

👂 Let’s talk about something everyone has… but nobody likes talking about.

Ear wax.

Before you reach for the cotton buds…
❌ Please don’t.

Cotton buds often push wax further into the ear canal, which can make blockage worse.

The good news? There’s a modern way to remove ear wax.

At Top Health Doctors, we provide microsuction ear wax removal — sometimes jokingly referred to as “gold-class ear wax removal.”

✨ Why patients often prefer microsuction:
• No water syringing
• Precise removal under direct vision
• Often quick and controlled

If your ears feel blocked, muffled, or uncomfortable, our doctors can assess your ears and discuss whether microsuction ear wax removal may be appropriate.

☀️ The weather is warming up… which makes now the perfect time to think about your skin.

As we head towards spring and start spending more time outdoors, it’s a timely reminder to book a comprehensive skin cancer check.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and regular skin checks can play an important role in detecting suspicious changes early.

At Top Health Doctors, our experienced GPs can assess spots, moles or skin changes you may be concerned about, as well as provide comprehensive skin checks.

🌿 Before the warmer weather really arrives, put your skin check on your health checklist.

Feeling constantly tired, struggling to concentrate or noticing you're out of breath more easily than usual? Low iron may be playing a role.

Did you know? According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 3.3% of Australian adults are at risk of iron deficiency, with women significantly more likely to be affected than men. (Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, National Health Measures Survey 2022–24).

At Top Health Doctors, our experienced GPs can assess your symptoms, arrange appropriate blood tests and, where medically indicated, discuss whether an iron infusion may be a suitable treatment option for you.

Iron deficiency can have many different causes, so understanding why your iron levels are low is just as important as treating them.

If you've been feeling persistently fatigued, experiencing brain fog or simply not feeling like yourself, book an appointment with one of our experienced doctors to discuss your symptoms.

Your health starts with finding the cause, not just treating the symptoms.

Strong bones aren’t just built in childhood, they’re supported throughout life.

As we age, maintaining bone health becomes increasingly important. Along with regular physical activity, a balanced diet that includes adequate calcium, vitamin D and protein can help support healthy bones. Foods such as dairy products (or fortified alternatives), leafy green vegetables, tofu, legumes, nuts and fish with edible bones can all play a role in a bone-friendly diet. (K24 Digital⁠)

Some people may have a higher risk of low bone density or osteoporosis due to factors such as age, menopause, certain medical conditions or medications. Often, there are no symptoms until a fracture occurs. (Courier Mail⁠)

If you’re concerned about your bone health or would like to understand your personal risk, speak with your GP. They can discuss appropriate lifestyle measures and whether any further assessment is recommended for you.

Our bone density begins declining earlier than you might think. But ensuring our diet is rich in certain nutrients can help to keep our skeletons strong.
