Daffodil Day: Hope. Progress. Together 😊
Forty years ago, the five-year cancer survival rate in Australia was around 46%. Today, it is roughly 72%.

That progress represents decades of research, fundraising, support and hope.
Today is Daffodil Day 🌼 , a reminder of the difference that collective action can make for people and families affected by cancer across Australia.

If you are able, consider supporting Cancer Council Australia. Your support helps fund vital cancer research and provides support for people and families navigating cancer.
And a gentle reminder from our team at Carrara Family Practice: if there is something about your health that has been quietly concerning you, don't put off the conversation. Speaking with your GP early can be an important first step.

Every conversation matters. Every bit of progress matters 🌼

The mole you have been meaning to get looked at is easy to keep putting off. It is also the reason skin checks matter.
Winter is the quiet, easy time to book one, before the summer rush. And in Queensland the timing is not just convenient: UV here stays high enough to matter all year, not only over summer!

A skin check at Carrara Family Practice is a thorough head to toe look at moles and spots by GPs trained in skin cancer detection. Consultations are bulk billed for Medicare-eligible patients.

Noticed something new or changing?
That is worth a look sooner rather than later 💯

Adult ADHD can look different from what many people expect 💯

If difficulties with focus, organisation, restlessness or day-to-day functioning have been affecting you, an assessment can help explore what may be contributing to these experiences.

At Carrara Family Practice, Dr Elizabeth Jose offers thorough ADHD assessments in a supportive and confidential setting, with referrals and ongoing care coordinated where appropriate 😊

A racing heart, breathlessness on the stairs, a blood pressure reading that will not settle. Easy to file under "later."

Heart concerns are worth looking at early, and that does not have to mean a long trip to a city clinic. Carrara Family Practice supports heart health close to home, from assessment of things like blood pressure, cholesterol and rhythm changes, through to a cardiology referral when it is the right step 😇
