Perimenopause is about more than hot flushes.

The transition towards menopause can bring a range of physical and emotional changes, including:

• Brain fog
• Hair loss
• Anxiety or mood changes
• Poor sleep
• Joint aches
• Changes to your periods
• Hot flushes and night sweats

Every woman’s experience is different, and symptoms can change over time.

If symptoms are affecting your everyday life, you don’t have to manage them on your own. Changes in hormones during perimenopause can also affect weight, body composition and overall health.

Supporting your health during this time may include looking at nutrition, movement, muscle health, bone health and other factors that are important to your overall wellbeing.

Your GP can help you understand what’s happening, discuss your symptoms and explore treatment and management options that are right for you.

If something has changed and you’re not feeling like yourself, make time to talk about it.

Sometimes, a simple question like “Are you OK?” can make all the difference.

R U OK? Day is a reminder to check in with the people around you, not just today, but any day.

You might notice a friend, family member or colleague isn’t quite themselves. They may be quieter than usual, withdrawing from others, losing interest in things they normally enjoy, or finding everyday life harder than it used to be.

If you’re thinking it, you’re probably right. Take the time to ask how they’re going, listen and let them know you’re there. You don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes, helping someone feel heard is enough to start a conversation.

And if you’re the one struggling, it’s okay to ask for help too. If you’ve been feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or finding it difficult to manage day-to-day life, your GP can help.

Your GP can provide a safe space to talk, assess your mental health and help you find the right support.

Because life happens every day. And you’re not alone.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, and Australia is leading the way towards its elimination.

Almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is why regular cervical screening plays such an important role in prevention and early detection.

If you’re aged 25 to 74 and have a cervix, it’s important to stay up to date with your Cervical Screening Test, even if you feel healthy, have no symptoms or have received the HPV vaccine.

For many eligible people, self-collection is also an option. The simple swab can be collected yourself in a healthcare setting with guidance from your doctor or nurse. It is just as effective as a clinician-collected sample and can be a more comfortable option for some people.

If you’re due for screening or have fallen behind, make an appointment with your GP. They can talk you through your screening options and help you stay on top of your cervical health.

A few minutes for screening could help protect your health for years to come.

Myth or fact? Only women with a family history of breast cancer need to be concerned about their breast health.

Myth. Most women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease.

Knowing what is normal for your breasts is an important part of looking after your health. Regular breast screening can also help detect breast cancer early, when treatment is more likely to be successful.

If you’re eligible for BreastScreen, make sure you attend your recommended screening appointments, even if you feel well and have no symptoms.

It’s also important to be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. If you notice a change that is unusual for you, such as a lump, skin changes or ni**le discharge, speak with your GP.

Taking the time to know your body and stay up to date with recommended screening is an important part of proactive, preventative care.

Today marks the first day of Women’s Health Week.

This year’s theme, ‘Do it anyway’, is a reminder that looking after your health can start with one small step, such as making time for a skin check.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and finding skin cancer early can make a significant difference. Knowing your skin and being aware of changes is an important part of looking after your health.

Keep an eye out for changes using ABCDE:

A – Asymmetry: One half of a spot doesn’t match the other.
B – Border: The edges are irregular, ragged or blurred.
C – Colour: The colour is uneven or changing.
D – Diameter: The spot is larger than 6mm or is growing.
E – Evolving: The spot is changing in size, shape, colour or appearance.

If you see any changes or it’s been a while since your last skin check, book an appointment with your GP.

Almost half a million Australians are living with dementia today.

But behind that number are more than 1.7 million people involved in their care, including partners, family members, friends and other carers.

Caring for someone with dementia can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Being constantly alert, supporting someone who may be confused or distressed, and adjusting to changes in your relationship can take an emotional and physical toll.

It’s also understandable to have questions about your own health, particularly if dementia has affected someone in your family. Your GP can help you understand your individual risk and talk through any concerns you may have.

Starting the conversation can help reduce stigma, improve understanding and connect people and families with the right support sooner.

If you’re caring for someone with dementia, have questions about your own risk, think someone you know may be experiencing dementia, or simply need someone to talk to, you don’t have to manage it alone.

Your GP can provide practical and emotional support, connect you with appropriate services and help look after your health along the way.

If you need someone to talk to, your GP can help you find the right support and next steps.

Australia’s National Immunisation Program provides routine vaccines to help protect babies and young children against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases.

Vaccinations are scheduled from birth through to four years of age, with each dose carefully timed to provide children with protection when they need it most. The schedule includes protection against diseases such as hepatitis B, whooping cough, polio, measles, meningococcal disease, pneumococcal disease and chickenpox.

Vaccinating on time gives children the best possible protection. Delaying or missing a scheduled vaccination may leave a child unprotected for longer. Catch-up vaccinations are available for children who have fallen behind.

Childhood vaccines used in Australia are rigorously assessed for safety and effectiveness. Almost all reactions are minor, such as redness or swelling at the injection site, mild fever or unsettled behaviour, and usually resolve within a few days.

Your GP can review your child’s immunisation history, explain the National Immunisation Program schedule and arrange any vaccinations that are due or overdue.

If you have questions about childhood immunisation or need guidance about your child’s vaccination schedule, speak with your GP.

Content warning: This post discusses pregnancy, infant and child loss.

Every day in Australia, nine babies and young children die suddenly and unexpectedly, including through SIDS and stillbirth.

Red Nose Day is a time to remember the babies and children who are deeply missed, and to support the families who carry their memory.

Since the first Red Nose Day, more than 12,500 babies’ lives have been saved through greater awareness, education and prevention initiatives.

Funds raised also help grieving families access specialist bereavement counselling, 24/7 phone support, peer support groups and other essential services.

Grief can affect both emotional and physical wellbeing. Your GP can provide a safe and confidential place to talk, support your ongoing health and connect you with appropriate bereavement and mental health services.

Whether you are grieving the loss of a baby or child, expecting a baby, or would like guidance about your baby’s health and wellbeing, speak with your local GP about the care and support available to you.

For 40 years, Daffodil Day has helped grow hope for people affected by cancer.

As one of the first flowers to bloom after winter, the daffodil symbolises strength, renewal and brighter days ahead. Daffodil Day also recognises the progress made through cancer research, prevention, early detection and improved treatment.

A cancer diagnosis can be an uncertain and difficult time for patients and their loved ones. Your GP can provide support at every stage, from discussing symptoms and arranging screening to coordinating specialist care, managing ongoing health needs and supporting recovery.

GPs can also help family members and carers access practical guidance and emotional support throughout the journey.

If you are living with cancer, caring for someone, or would like to discuss cancer screening, prevention or ongoing care, speak with your local GP.

Protect your baby against severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) during their first months of life with a maternal vaccination during pregnancy.

RSV is a common and highly contagious virus that affects the airways and lungs. It can cause serious illness, including bronchiolitis and pneumonia, and is a leading cause of hospitalisation for babies under six months in Australia.

Through the National Immunisation Program, eligible pregnant women can receive the RSV vaccine from 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Vaccination during pregnancy allows protective antibodies to pass through the placenta to your baby, helping protect them against severe RSV disease from birth and during their first few months of life, when they are particularly vulnerable.

Maternal RSV vaccination can significantly reduce the risk of severe RSV illness and the likelihood of hospitalisation during the first six months of life.

Vaccines recommended during pregnancy have been extensively assessed for safety. Most side effects are mild, such as soreness, swelling or redness at the injection site, tiredness, muscle aches or a mild fever, and usually last no more than two days.

Speak with your GP or contact our clinic to check your eligibility and book your vaccination appointment.
