Ongoing tiredness, difficulty concentrating, headaches, breathlessness and hair shedding can sometimes be signs of iron deficiency. However, symptoms alone cannot confirm the cause, a blood test is needed.

An iron infusion may help when dietary changes have not improved iron levels, iron tablets have not worked or can't be tolerated, or when iron needs to be restored quickly. It is not always the first treatment option, and your GP will also want to understand why your iron levels are low.

Our full article explains the difference between iron deficiency and anaemia, when an infusion may be recommended and what to expect.

Early detection can make a significant difference, yet many eligible Australians are not up to date with their cancer screening tests.

Australia has national screening programs for bowel, cervical and breast cancer. Bowel screening is free for eligible Australians, cervical screening is now required only every five years and can include a self-collected sample, and free breast screening is available to eligible women.

There is no national screening program for skin cancer, making it important to know your skin and speak with your GP about your individual risk and any changes you may be concerned about. But also to put in the diary to have your skin checked every year, the recommendation for Australians!

This Daffodil Day, take a moment to check whether you are due for screening. Our full article explains who is eligible, what has changed and when symptoms should be assessed by a doctor rather than waiting for a screening test.

Do you take creatine? It may affect how your routine kidney blood test results are interpreted.

Creatine is well researched for exercise and muscle performance, while its potential role in brain health is still being studied. Did you know, taking creatine can increase blood creatinine levels, which may make your estimated kidney function appear lower than it actually is.

Before starting creatine, or if you already supplement with creatine, speak with your GP before your next blood test and let them know what supplements you are taking.

Type 2 Diabetes rarely happens overnight — for many people, it starts years earlier with insulin resistance, a condition that can develop quietly with no obvious symptoms. 🩺

Left unchecked, insulin resistance can raise the risk of prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease and other chronic conditions. The good news? Early assessment and the right testing can help catch it before it progresses.
If you have risk factors like excess weight, a family history of Type 2 Diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure or elevated blood sugar, it may be worth speaking to your GP about a Diabetes Risk Assessment.

is trending right now.

On TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, they are being promoted as the shortcut to faster recovery, weight loss, better skin, muscle gain, year-round tans and even ageing well.

But behind many of these posts is something rarely shown on screen: unapproved products, unknown ingredients, paid discount codes and real health risks.

A testimonial may feel convincing, especially when it comes from someone you follow and trust. But it is still only one person’s story.

Your health deserves more than a trend.

Our latest article takes a clear, factual look at the peptide boom — what peptides are, why Australian regulators are concerned, what the risks may be, and why the safest place to start is with a qualified healthcare professional who understands your history.

If you have seen peptides promoted online, are considering using them, or have already tried them and feel unsure, this is worth reading.

Nearly half of all deaths in Australians under 75 are potentially avoidable (AIHW, 2015). *

The surprising part? Men account for almost two-thirds of them.

Yet many men put off seeing a doctor.

When is the best time to get your flu shot in Australia?

The best time to get your flu vaccine in Australia is between March and May, before the influenza season reaches its peak.

The flu vaccination provides the strongest protection within the first 3 to 4 months, helping protect you during the height of the Australian flu season, which typically peaks around August.

Getting your influenza vaccine early is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of seasonal flu, minimise symptoms, and help protect your family and community.

Don’t wait for flu cases to rise. Book your flu shot early to stay protected.

We offer cell-based influenza vaccines as standard, supporting high-quality, patient-centred care with a focus on safety and effectiveness.

Book your flu vaccination online. https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0JD7M0

Please check with your practice to confirm flu vaccine availability before booking.

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver and the good news is, it is now curable with modern treatment. Many people have no symptoms for years, which means testing is the key to early diagnosis, treatment and preventing long-term liver damage.

If you’ve ever had potential exposure (including past blood transfusions, tattoos or injecting equipment), a simple blood test can provide clarity and peace of mind.

23/02/2026

Did you know alcohol is now classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer — the same category as to***co smoke and asbestos? This means there’s strong evidence that alcohol increases the risk of several cancers, including breast, bowel and liver cancer.

The good news? Even small changes, such as cutting back or taking a short break, can lead to better sleep, improved mood, more energy and long-term health benefits.

Some people choose February as a natural time to reset, including taking part in FebFast, which supports alcohol harm prevention and mental health initiatives run by Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education.

If you’ve been thinking about your drinking habits, or noticing changes in sleep, mood or energy, your GP can provide confidential, non-judgemental support.
