We are delighted to welcome Lifeline Medical Centre to the Banksia family.

Banksia Medical Centre is pleased to officially announce the acquisition of Lifeline Medical Centre in Belmont, which will progressively transition to Banksia Medical Centre Belmont.

Lifeline Medical Centre has cared for the Belmont and wider Geelong community for many years, and we recognise the enormous amount of work, commitment and trust that has gone into building the practice.

We would particularly like to acknowledge Dr Nouman Qadir, Sumaira Bajwa and the entire Lifeline team for their dedication to their patients and the community over the years.

For existing Lifeline patients, it remains business as usual.

Our immediate priority is continuity of care. Existing patients can continue attending the practice, and we will work closely with the doctors and staff to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.

We are also delighted to announce that Dr Adlina and Dr Jasper will be joining the Belmont team from next week, offering their expertise and care to both existing and new patients. See Dr Adlina’s introduction video below. 😇

Importantly, this acquisition is not about replacing what Lifeline has built. It is about building upon it.

Over time, we plan to invest in the practice, strengthen its clinical and administrative systems, expand services and bring the resources and experience of the broader Banksia Medical Centre network to Belmont.

This represents another important step in Banksia’s commitment to providing accessible, high-quality and community-focused general practice across the Geelong region.

We are very excited about the future of Banksia Medical Centre Belmont, and we look forward to welcoming Lifeline’s patients, doctors and staff into the Banksia family.

Winter illnesses can continue well beyond the middle of the season.

Influenza remains active throughout winter, and it's not too late to consider your flu vaccination if you haven't already received one this year.

The flu can affect people of all ages, but young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with certain chronic health conditions may be at higher risk of complications.

Government-funded influenza vaccinations may be available for eligible groups, including children aged 6 months to under 5 years, adults aged 65 years and over, pregnant women, and people with certain chronic medical conditions.

If you're unsure about your eligibility or would like advice about winter vaccinations, speak with your GP.

Staying up to date with recommended vaccinations is an important part of protecting your health during the colder months.

You just got better… and now you’re sick again.

Another cold. Another week of feeling drained.
Another round of “I’ll just push through.”

And you start wondering, why is everyone else okay, but not me?

Sometimes it’s not bad luck or “reduced immunity.” It’s the quiet build-up no one notices: poor sleep, constant stress, skipped meals, no real rest, and a body that hasn’t fully recovered before the next bug comes along.

Winter doesn’t make it easier either.

The good news? Your body may recover better with the right support. Small changes in sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress levels can make a real difference over time.

If this feels like your every winter, it may be worth checking in with your GP.
