Just a heads up if you trying to enter the practice from Shakespeare Street they have blocked off the road entering from the West. If you follow the MCDonalds drive through from the East you are able to get through or come through Boddington Street. We only became aware of this today so sorry for any inconvenience it causes.

ANZAC Day 2026

Today we honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all ANZACs, past and present.

We are privileged to care for many veterans whose strength, resilience and service continue to inspire us every day. We acknowledge the profound contribution you and your families have made, and the sacrifices carried long after service has ended.

We have had the honour to host several work experience students recently. Marcus from Whitsunday Anglican School, and Lily and Eliza from Catherine McAuley College. The students have had a wonderful experience learning all about Primary Care and even got to assist in some skills. Their balloon making skills were exceptional! We wish them the best in their potential future in Healthcare. Catherine McAuley College Mackay

We now have stock of all categories of Flu vaccine.

24/03/2026

Today our little 2 year old friend Hugh had his Flumist Influenza vaccine via the nose. It was gentle and quick. Whilst a little uncomfortable at first, Hugh was quickly smiling at everyone. If you would like to try this alternative to a needle, please call reception and book your child in.

We are currently facing a horrendous flu season this year so please consider this simple way to protect your little ones.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest GP Registrar, Dr Sam Wallace.

Sam is an ACRRM Rural Generalist who has worked between Mackay and Proserpine for the last 5 years. After spending the last few years working in critical care and emergency roles completing training for the Rural Generalist Anaesthesia (RGA) program, he has finally commenced work in general practice. Sam is excited to bring the knowledge he has gained from his career so far to Southside.

A desire to be a "jack of all trades" has driven most of Sam's experience seeking as a Doctor. Whilst he can't sit still, he has always aspired to contribute as a family Doctor as part of his career. He is pursuing further training in mental health, women's health, skin cancer detection/management and palliative care.

When he's not at work Sam enjoys (being taken by his mates) fishing, rugby, golf and cooking.
