⚽ We’re cheering on one of our own! 🇦🇺

A huge congratulations to Dr Sara Stephensen, who is currently in China representing Football Australia as the Team Doctor for the CommBank Joeys (Australia’s Under 17 Men’s National Football Team) at the CFA U17 Invitational 2026. The tournament is being held from 5–13 July.

We’re incredibly proud to see Dr Sara supporting Australia’s next generation of football talent on the international stage. Her expertise, dedication and commitment to athlete health make her an invaluable member of the Joeys’ medical team.

We wish Dr Sara and the CommBank Joeys the very best for the tournament and can’t wait to welcome her back to GPcare with (hopefully!) some great stories to share.

Good luck, Dr Sara and the Joeys! 💚💛⚽

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.

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.
