Family medical services and skin cancer clinic at Narara on the NSW Central Coast
Let’s talk about mental health.
In Australia, one in five adults are affected by a mental health issue at any one time.
A mental illness is a health issue. It can affect your thoughts, mood, and behaviour. It can impact the way you perceive the world. It should be treated as a health issue in the same way a physical injury or sickness is treated.
**IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PATIENTS**
Due to COVID-19, we need to ensure we can identify our patients’ needs and triage them accordingly. For the safety of you and our staff, we are currently unable to accept online bookings.
Read more information about the types of appointments.
To make your booking, please call 02 4328 2811 and speak to our friendly reception team.
The flu (also called influenza) is a contagious infection of the airways. It is especially serious for some people. As part of the National Immunisation Program, the flu vaccine is free for:
children over 6 months of age, people over 65 years, people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island descent, pregnant women, and those with significant risk of medical complication.
Vaccination is a safe and effective way to help protect from severe illness caused by the flu.
Due to new practice policies, we will need to identify patients’ needs and provide appropriate care in order to treat patients effectively.
When a patient calls to make an appointment, you will be asked about the nature of the visit to your doctor. In letting us know briefly the reason, we can ensure the appropriate care is given within an appropriate period.
This OCTOBER is World Mental Health month. It’s also Hat Day, Odd Socks Day, Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Week. The month also marks awareness for breast cancer and spina bifida, and includes the International Day of Older Persons, World Sight Day, Frocktober, World Polio Day, and National Carers Week.
