A relic among the renovations.

A piece of Dr Kumar’s family history, turned up while we were clearing things out. It still works.

The instruments a GP uses change over time. The skill to look properly, listen properly and genuinely care does not, and it was always the most valuable instrument in the room.

Waiting on results is the worst part of any test.

Every result at Family Circle is read by the GP who ordered it, not an automated check. If they need to see you, you will get a text asking you to book a non-urgent appointment. Non urgent means exactly that.

If there is nothing to act on you will not hear from us, and you can ring and ask any time.

If we text and do not hear back, we will ring you. We would rather chase you than assume you saw it.

A look behind the doors at Merewether.

The walls are in, the paint’s on, and the flooring goes down next.

Not bigger. The same building, forty years newer.

Thanks for putting up with the noise. We look forward to welcoming you in soon!

Family Circle is proud to be part of the Wanderers family, on and off the field.
Family Circle Medical Practice in Hamilton and Merewether Family Practice are sponsoring Wanderers rugby club , the home of the two blues.
We’re looking forward to supporting the players, supporters and families behind the club.
Because caring for a player means seeing the whole person and supporting their wellbeing long after the final whistle.
Our Practice Principal, Dr Ravi Stephen, trained in orthopaedics before moving into general practice. He holds a Master of Surgery in Orthopaedics and worked in orthopaedic and trauma surgery at John Hunter Hospital, and he has substantial experience assessing and managing musculoskeletal conditions and sporting injuries.
What our GP teams can help with:
✅ Assessment of sporting injuries
✅ Concussion review and return-to-play guidance . (⚠️ Following a head knock, loss of consciousness, vomiting, worsening headache or confusion requires assessment at the nearest emergency department)
✅ Everyday health for players and their families
✅ Referral to allied health and to specialists when needed
✅ Working alongside Ethos Health, so assessment and rehabilitation to support a safe return to sport.
Both practices are taking new patients. Appointments through HotDoc or our websites.
A heartfelt thank you to our Club President Dave Campbell for bringing us together. We’re grateful for the invitation to support this club and excited to build a lasting connection with the Wanderers family.

We asked around the practice: what age do you need to start breast screening?

We were all a little off.

BreastScreen NSW sends invitations from 50, every two years, until 74. You can go from 40 if you want to, talk to your doctor first about your personal risk and to find out if breast screening is right for you. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are encouraged to start at 40. Past 75 it’s still available, the invitations just stop.

We don’t do the mammograms here. BreastScreen does, and theirs are free. What we do is talk it through, examine you, and sort the referral.

And the bit that gets lost in awareness month: screening is for when nothing is wrong. If you’ve noticed something, a lump, a change in shape, skin that’s started puckering, anything with the ni**le, don’t wait for a screening date. Book with your GP.

Dr Noora joined us back in February, so plenty of you will already know her.

Skin is her thing. Skin checks, the mole you’ve been meaning to ask about, the spot on your shoulder you’ve been watching since last summer. She looks after a lot of our younger patients too.

You can find her at Merewether Family Practice, everyday but Wednesday. Book online via HotDoc or call Merewether Family Practice on (02) 4963 3921
