Winter is the perfect time for a skin check. ❄️☀️

When the weather cools down, skin checks are often pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. After all, we're spending less time at the beach and covering up with extra layers.

But skin cancer doesn't take a winter break.

In fact, winter can be an ideal time to have your skin checked. Any spots that need treatment can often be managed before summer arrives, and you'll have peace of mind knowing your skin health is up to date.

Many skin cancers develop slowly over time as a result of years of sun exposure, which means regular skin checks remain important all year round—even when the temperature drops.

Have you noticed:
🔍 A new spot?
🔍 A spot that has changed in size, shape or colour?
🔍 A sore that won't heal?
🔍 Something that just doesn't look quite right?

It's worth having it assessed.

Dr Ken Corbett is now consulting three days a week at Doctors of Tewantin, making it easier than ever to book a thorough skin check.

Don't wait until summer. Your future self will thank you. New patients welcome.

We love this post from Stacy at Hive Nutrition, one of the dietitians we regularly recommend to our patients.

If you're using weight-loss medication, what you eat is just as important as the medication itself. Eating enough protein, protecting your muscle mass and meeting your nutritional needs can make a huge difference to both your results and how you feel.

At DoT, we believe successful weight management is about so much more than a prescription. Our supported weight management program includes dedicated nurse appointments before you see your GP, ongoing education, regular check-ins, accountability and access to trusted allied health professionals like Stacy when needed.

Have a read through Stacy's tips below—they're full of practical, evidence-based advice to help you get the best from your treatment. You don't need a GP referral to book an appointment with Stacy. If you're living with a chronic health condition, you may also be eligible for a GP Management Plan, which can provide a Medicare rebate towards the cost of your dietitian consultation. Chat to your GP or our team to see if you're eligible.

LAKE DOONELLA BRIDGE - ONE LANE CLOSURE FROM 6 JULY 2026

Just a heads up, from 6 July 2026 (probably until Dec 😔), Noosa Council are doing works on Lake Doonella Bridge. One lane will be shut - but traffic leaving Tewantin will be able to drive over the bridge.
If you are coming into Tewantin from Noosaville you will need to come via Beckmans Road. We are anticipating significant delays using this detour - especially during school hours.
