Many risk factors for heart disease may not cause noticeable symptoms early on.

Checks such as blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar can provide helpful information about heart health and overall wellbeing.

Preventive health care plays an important role in identifying risk factors early and supporting long-term health.

💕💕 Small habits can make a meaningful difference to heart health over time.

Regular movement, balanced nutrition, managing stress and monitoring key health markers can all help support cardiovascular health.

Even small changes can be a positive step.

🌺 11th of the 11th — Lest We Forget 🌺

At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to remember all who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

Today, we honour the courage, resilience, and compassion that continue to shape our nation — values that also guide the care we provide in our community every day.

May we always remember the strength in service, the power of unity, and the importance of looking after one another.

Lest We Forget

Why “Figtree”? There’s a story behind the name…

At Figtree Family Practice, we’re proud to take our name from the magnificent fig trees that stand just behind our new practice in Park Avenue. But for us, it’s more than just a beautiful tree — it’s a symbol of who we are and what we stand for.

Like the fig tree, we have deep roots in this region. Figtree is part of the Yeppoon Family Practice group, a trusted name in healthcare that has been caring for the Central Queensland community for over 50 years.

And just like the fig tree, we are resilient, adaptable, and always growing — evolving to meet the needs of our patients and our community, while staying grounded in our values of care, connection, and quality.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our new practice — a place where you’ll feel supported, seen, and truly cared for.

Figtree Family Practice is now ready for MyMedicare! 🌿

After a few technical hiccups, we’re pleased to share that Figtree Family Practice is now able to register patients for MyMedicare.

From 1 November, several important Medicare changes will take effect — and registering with MyMedicare will help make sure you continue to have access to the care and benefits you deserve.

Why register?
MyMedicare helps strengthen your relationship with your regular GP and practice. By registering:
✅ Your care is better coordinated between your doctor, nurses and specialists
✅ You’ll have access to longer Medicare-funded telehealth appointments with your registered practice
✅ Your doctor can access new funding to provide more tailored care for chronic and complex conditions
✅ It supports continuity of care — helping you get the right care, at the right time, from the team who knows you best

How to register:
You can register via your MyGov account (linked to Medicare) and select Figtree Family Practice as your regular clinic.
Or if you’d prefer, our friendly reception team can help you register in-practice.

If you have any questions about MyMedicare or whether you should register, just ask our team at your next visit — we’re here to help.
