🧦 Happy Crazy Socks 4 Docs Day! (Friday, June 5, 2026) 🧦

Today at GPcare, we are proudly supporting Crazy Socks 4 Docs Day!

Founded by Dr Geoff Toogood, is a vital reminder to break the stigma surrounding mental health in the medical world. Our doctors and healthcare teams work tirelessly to care for our community - but it is just as important that we look after their wellbeing, too.

Vaccination plays an important role in protecting not only ourselves, but also the most vulnerable members of our community.

Thank you to Dr Mohammed Hamed from GPcare, Summit Health, for sharing his insights in the recent Courier newspaper "Healthcare in the Hills" feature on the importance of staying up to date with recommended vaccinations.

As we head into the colder months, now is a good time to speak with your GP about the vaccinations that may be right for you.

On behalf of GPcare, we pause today to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of our service men and women.

The ANZAC spirit remains a foundational part of our community, and we reflect on the legacy left by all who have served.

GPcare will be closed today, Saturday, April 25. We will reopen for our regular hours on Monday.

As Easter approaches, we hope our Adelaide Hills community finds time to slow down, connect, and enjoy the long weekend - whatever that looks like for you.

GPcare will be closed over the Easter long weekend. If you or your family need urgent medical care during this time, the Mt Barker Hospital Emergency Department remains open 24/7 as a walk-in service, located at 87 Wellington Road, next to the Summit Health Centre.

Wishing you a safe and restful weekend 💛

We understand that getting into the clinic may be a challenge at the moment. Please reach out - we're here to help. 💙

With the rising cost of fuel, we know getting to appointments isn't always as simple as it used to be.

At GPcare, we're here to support our community and make healthcare more accessible.

For some appointments, telehealth may be a convenient and appropriate option - allowing you to connect with your GP without needing to come into the clinic.

Our team will always work with you to find the option that best suits your needs.

There are some eligibility requirements for Medicare-funded telehealth, and our team is here to assist you.

Flu season is just around the corner, and we’re here to help keep our community well.

Private flu vaccinations are now available at GPcare, with Government-funded vaccines expected to arrive after Easter.

If you’d like to get protected early, our team is ready to support you. Appointments are quick and easy to book - just give us a call on 1300 472 273.

For patients not eligible for a Government-funded vaccine, the consultation will be bulk billed, with an out-of-pocket cost of $15 for the vaccine.

Looking after your health helps protect those around you too - especially our most vulnerable.

We look forward to caring for you this flu season.

🌙 Happy World Sleep Day 2026 from all of us at GPcare! 💤

Sleep isn’t a luxury - it’s essential for our health and wellbeing.

Did you know:
• Adults generally need 7–9 hours of sleep each night
• Poor sleep is linked to stress, heart disease, and reduced immunity
• Quality sleep improves memory, mood, and productivity

Tonight, give your body the rest it deserves—switch off screens, unwind, and prioritise your sleep health.

Because better sleep = better health. 😴✨
