November is a reminder about men's health. The Movember movement (read more about this on their website) started in 2003 and has a focus on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. It is important to have regular generaL health checks including checks which are specific to men's health. Don't delay - make an appointment with your doctor.

If the need arises for an interpreter within this practice, our administration staff can assist in organising a phone connect or onsite interpreter. The service is a national service provided by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. The service is free for Medicare-rebatable services provided to Australian citizens or permanent residents. The service offers both male and female interpreters on request. It is best to allow at least 48 hours for an on-site interpreter. To contact TIS National directly, call 131 450 or go to the website at www.tisnational.gov.au
