👨 Men's Health Week | 15–21 June

This Men's Health Week, we're encouraging all men to make their health a priority.

Too often, men put off seeing a doctor, even when something doesn't feel quite right. Yet regular check-ups and early intervention can make a significant difference to long-term health and wellbeing.

Whether it's a general health check, blood pressure, skin check, mental health, prostate health, heart health or simply discussing a concern that's been on your mind, our GPs are here to help.

Don't wait until something becomes serious. Looking after your health is one of the best investments you can make for yourself and your family.

📅 Book an appointment with one of our GPs today and take the first step towards better health.

🚨 Bowel Cancer Awareness 🚨

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, but it is also one of the most preventable and treatable when detected early.

Every week:
▪️ 286 Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer
▪️ 103 Australians lose their lives to the disease

While the risk increases with age, bowel cancer can affect people of all ages. That's why it's important to know the symptoms, participate in recommended screening, and speak with your GP if you have any concerns.

Symptoms can include:
✔️ Changes in bowel habits
✔️ Blood in your stool
✔️ Unexplained abdominal pain
✔️ Unexplained weight loss
✔️ Ongoing fatigue

Don't ignore the signs. Early detection saves lives.

If you're due for screening or have concerns about your bowel health, book an appointment with our team today.

Supporting the health and wellbeing of our community goes beyond the walls of our clinics. Staying active through sport is one of the best ways to maintain physical and mental health, build connections, and create a stronger community.

For more than 70 years, Smith St Medical Centre has been proud to serve the Hunter community as a family-owned medical practice.

That's why we're proud to support our local volunteer-run sporting clubs Kotara BEARS Juniors and Kotara South Football Club.

These dedicated volunteers give their time to create opportunities for people of all ages to stay active, develop friendships, and enjoy the benefits of being part of a team.

Thank you to all the volunteers, players, coaches, and families who help make community sport possible. We're proud to play a small part in supporting the clubs that help keep our community healthy, active, and connected.

🧡 Supporting our community. Caring for generations. 🧡

❤️ It’s Heart Week — the perfect reminder to check in on your heart health.

Heart disease often develops with no obvious symptoms, which is why regular Heart Health Checks are so important — especially if you’re aged 45+ (or 30+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples).

A Heart Health Check with your GP can help identify your risk factors early and support you to stay healthy for longer.

Your check may include:
✔ Blood pressure
✔ Cholesterol & blood sugar testing
✔ Lifestyle & family history review
✔ Personalised advice to reduce your risk

Don’t wait for symptoms to appear — prevention starts with a simple check-up.
