Busy workdays, family commitments or limited mobility can sometimes make it difficult to attend an appointment in person.

For suitable consultations, Telehealth allows you to speak with your GP by phone or video from wherever you are.

Depending on your healthcare needs, Telehealth may be appropriate for follow-up appointments, discussing test results, repeat prescriptions, referrals or ongoing management of existing conditions.

If an in-person assessment is needed, your GP will advise the most appropriate next step.

Contact our team to find out whether a Telehealth appointment is suitable for your healthcare needs.

Most of us don't think much about iron until something feels different.

It might be struggling to get through the day, finding it harder to concentrate, or feeling more tired than usual during everyday activities. Iron plays an important role in carrying oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body, helping your muscles, brain and other organs function properly.

When iron levels are low, some people may experience these symptoms, although they can have many possible causes.

Rather than guessing what's behind the changes, it's worth speaking with your GP. They can assess your symptoms and determine whether further assessment or testing may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.

A review with your GP can help ensure your Asthma Action Plan is up to date, your medications are still appropriate, and any changes in your symptoms are discussed.

"Maybe it's just stress." It's a thought many women have when sleep changes, hot flushes, mood changes or low energy begin to creep into everyday life.

But these can also be signs of perimenopause, the natural transition leading up to menopause. Every woman's experience is different, and symptoms can vary in type and intensity.

If these changes are beginning to affect your daily life, it's worth having a conversation with your GP.
They can assess your symptoms, discuss management options that may be appropriate for your individual circumstances, and help you better understand what's happening to your body.

As winter comes to an end, now is the time to prepare for Victoria's spring allergy season. Rising pollen levels can trigger hay fever symptoms and, for some people, increase the risk of thunderstorm asthma.

If you have asthma or experience seasonal allergies, consider reviewing your Asthma Action Plan, checking that your medications are up to date, and speaking with your GP if your symptoms have changed.

Preparing before spring arrives can help you better manage the season ahead and understand what to do if symptoms worsen.

Book an appointment with your GP to review your asthma or allergy management plan before spring begins.
