👋 Farewell, Dr Eugene!
It's hard to believe your time with us has come to an end!
Over the past few months, Dr Eugene has been a wonderful part of our clinic, bringing a positive attitude, a great sense of humour, and excellent care to our patients. It's been a pleasure having you as part of the team, and you'll certainly be missed.
As you head off to your next placement, we want to wish you all the very best. We know you'll continue to do amazing things, and we're excited to see where your journey takes you.

💙 Side note: The staff have especially enjoyed your positive nature... and let's just say there may have been one or two comments that "the boy looks" didn't hurt either! 😉 We couldn't let you leave without giving you a little friendly stir.
Thank you for everything, Dr Eugene. We hope your next team enjoys you as much as we have. Best of luck—we'll be cheering you on from afar! 🌟

💧 Healthy Habits – August Challenge 💧

This August, we’re focusing on the little things we can do each day to look after our health — because healthy habits don’t need to be complicated!

Lauren’s pledge is a simple one: drink more water. 💦

Staying hydrated can help with energy, concentration and generally feeling your best — and sometimes the easiest habits are the ones we forget when the day gets busy!

🥤 Water bottle filled.
💧 More regular sips.
🌱 One small healthy habit at a time.

What healthy habit would you pledge to work on this August?

🌿 Welcome to Atherton Health Hub, Dr Bruce! 🩺💚

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Bruce Taylor (he/him) to our team — all the way from the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond to the beautiful Atherton Tablelands! 🇸🇨➡️🇦🇺

Bruce brings a wealth of experience from across the UK, Northern Territory and Sydney, with particular interests in sexual health, HIV and blood-borne viruses, and gender-affirming care.

He provides PrEP, PEP, Implanon insertion/removal and is a registered S100 prescriber for HIV and Hepatitis B.

Outside the clinic, Bruce loves travel, the outdoors, yoga, meditation, dancing and karaoke — so we’re expecting plenty of personality alongside the stethoscope! 🎤🧘‍♂️🌏

💚 Dr Bruce is now taking new patients and would love to welcome you to Atherton Health Hub.

📍 Come and say hello — we’re thrilled to have him as part of our team!

🌿 August Healthy Habits Self-Challenge! 🌿
This month, our team is focusing on making small, positive changes that support our health and wellbeing.
We’re challenging our staff to choose one healthy habit they’d like to improve on throughout August — whether it’s drinking more water 💧, moving more 🚶‍♀️, getting better sleep 😴, taking time to recharge 🧘‍♀️, making healthier food choices 🥗, or creating any other habit that supports a healthier lifestyle.
Each staff member will share:
✨ “I’m improving on my __________” ✨
Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing some snapshots of our team members putting their healthy habits into action — celebrating the small steps, the progress, and the commitment to looking after ourselves.
Healthy habits don’t have to be big changes. Small steps, done consistently, can make a big difference. 💚
Stay tuned as we follow along with our team’s August Healthy Habits journey! 🌱

And we're back—recharged, refreshed, and ready to go! 💚🏕️

Our Annual Staff Camping Trip was just what we needed!

The weather kept us on our toes with its cool mornings and crisp evenings, but the sunshine and stunning scenery made it absolutely worth it. It was the perfect excuse to slow down, relax, unwind, and enjoy some well-earned downtime together.

There were plenty of laughs (some we can probably never repeat! 🤣), stories shared around the camp, and memories made with our amazing staff, their families, the kids, and of course our honorary camping mascot, Oreo, who made sure no snack—or person—was left unattended! 🐾

A massive shout-out to Chef Dan, who kept everyone full with his incredible cooking. We're still trying to work out how campsite food tasted that good! Thanks for making sure nobody went hungry (or had to survive on burnt marshmallows alone). 👨‍🍳🔥

Weekends like these remind us that we're more than just a team—we're a community. Taking the time to switch off, enjoy each other's company, and make memories outside of work is something really special.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made this year's camping trip such a fantastic weekend. Here's to the laughs, the campfire chats, the fresh air, and the chance to reconnect. We can't wait to do it all again next year... although we might need a few more days to recover first! 😂🏕️💚

🏕️ We're taking a short break!

Atherton Health Hub will be closed on Friday, 24th July while our team heads off for our annual Staff Wellbeing Camping Trip. 🌿

A little time to recharge means we can come back refreshed and ready to continue caring for you and your family. 💚

We'll reopen as usual on Monday. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Last week we said farewell to Dr Elisa as she finished her six months with us.

It has been an absolute privilege to be the very first practice you worked with, and we've loved being part of the beginning of your GP journey. Over the past six months, you've brought kindness, compassion, dedication, and a wonderful presence to our team and to our patients.

Thank you for everything you've contributed during your time with us. While we're sad to see you go, we're so excited to see where your GP career takes you. We have no doubt you'll make a positive difference to every community and every patient you care for.

Wishing you every success and happiness in this next chapter. Thank you, Dr Elisa—you'll always be part of our practice family, and you'll be greatly missed. 💙

🎉 Happy 2nd Birthday to Atherton Health Hub! 🎉

Can you believe it's been 2 years already? Time really does fly!😉

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our incredible patients and the Tablelands community for welcoming us, trusting us, and allowing us to be part of your healthcare journey. It is a privilege we never take for granted.

To our amazing team of doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, receptionists, administration staff, and support staff—thank you for your compassion, hard work, endless cups of coffee, and for bringing your best to our patients every single day. You are what makes Atherton Health Hub so special.

A huge thank you also to our wonderful allied health providers and visiting specialists. Working together means we can provide better care for our community, and we're grateful to have such fantastic healthcare professionals alongside us.

As a family-owned and operated practice, caring for families is at the heart of everything we do. Whether we're welcoming a brand-new baby, helping a teenager through life's challenges, supporting parents, or caring for grandparents, it's an honor to look after generations of local families. In many cases, we've even had the privilege of caring for three generations from the same family—and that's something truly special.

Here's to the friendships we've made, the milestones we've celebrated, the challenges we've overcome together, and the many laughs we've shared along the way.

Thank you for making the past two years so memorable. We can't wait to continue caring for our community for many years to come.

Happy Birthday, Atherton Health Hub! 🥳💙

🛠️ Looking After the Blokes Who've Spent a Lifetime Looking After Others 🛠️

At Atherton Health Hub, we know that good health is about more than what happens in a consultation room. It's about helping make our whole community a safer place.

We're proud to have donated an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) to the wonderful team at the Malanda Men's Shed.

Let's be honest... the lads at the Shed have accumulated plenty of wisdom over the years (and perhaps a few extra birthdays too! 😉). While they're busy building, repairing, sharing stories and keeping the kettle on, it's reassuring to know that lifesaving equipment is close at hand should it ever be needed.

A huge thank you to the members of the Malanda Men's Shed for everything you do to bring people together, share skills, and support our local community.

Here's to many more years of mateship, projects, laughter—and hopefully an AED that never has to be used. ❤️
