Supporting a great cause for rural healthcare 💙

One of our local community members, Malory, is taking part in Oceans to Outback, a month-long challenge raising vital funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Throughout October, Malory will be walking 87km to help support the important healthcare services the RFDS provides to rural and remote communities.

Living and working in a rural community, we understand just how important access to healthcare is, and we’re very happy to help Malory spread the word and support her challenge.

If you would like to support Malory, you can donate directly through her fundraising page:
👉 https://www.oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/malorymorris

Best of luck with the 87km, Malory! 👟💙

💙🩺 Supporting Men’s Mental Health in Our Community 🩺💙

Yesterday, Tyla and Stef headed along to the Cooma Mitre 10 Tradie Breakfast 🔨👷‍♂️🦺, supporting an important conversation around men’s mental health and wellbeing. 💙🧠

We were also joined by Jade from HAS Psychology 💬, helping to raise awareness about the importance of checking in, speaking up and looking after both our mental and physical health. 🙌

🩺❤️ Tyla, one of our nurses, was kept busy providing free blood pressure checks throughout the morning — a quick and simple check that can tell us a lot about our cardiovascular health.

☕️🥶 A huge thank you to Dave from Coffee 2630 - Mobile Coffee Trailer for keeping us warm with coffees and hot chocolates, and to Cooma Lions Club - Official 🦁🥓🍳 for keeping everyone well fed with bacon and egg rolls!

🔨💙 And of course, thank you to Cooma Mitre 10 for bringing our local tradies and community together and helping put men’s mental health in the spotlight.

Sometimes looking after your health starts with something as simple as a conversation 💬, a blood pressure check 🩺, or checking in with a mate. 👷‍♂️🤝💙

🩺 MEDICAL TRIVIA THURSDAY

Blood Pressure ❤️

Did you know that high blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms? You can feel completely well and still have blood pressure that is higher than recommended — which is why regular checks are so important.

💡 A few things to know about blood pressure:

❤️ Your blood pressure naturally changes throughout the day depending on things like activity, stress, caffeine, medications and rest.

🩺 A blood pressure reading has two numbers — the top number (systolic) measures the pressure when your heart contracts, while the bottom number (diastolic) measures the pressure when your heart relaxes between beats.

📈 One high reading doesn't necessarily mean you have high blood pressure. Your GP may recommend repeated measurements, home monitoring or a 24-hour blood pressure monitor to get a clearer picture.

🥗 Healthy lifestyle habits such as regular physical activity, eating a balanced diet, reducing excess salt, limiting alcohol and not smoking can all help support healthy blood pressure.

Because high blood pressure can go unnoticed, knowing your numbers is an important part of looking after your heart and overall health.

🌿 Wellness Wednesday

Spring Allergies vs a Cold 🌿

Spring is here in the Monaro! 🌸

☀️ While the warmer weather is welcome, for many people spring also brings sneezing, sniffles and itchy, watery eyes. 🤧

🌼But how can you tell if it’s spring allergies or a cold?

🌼 Spring allergies can cause sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, an itchy nose or throat and a clear runny nose. Symptoms may stick around for weeks while pollen and other allergens are in the air.

🤒 A cold is caused by a virus and can include a blocked or runny nose, sore throat, cough, tiredness and sometimes mild aches or a low fever. Most colds improve within around 7–10 days.

💚 A few simple ways to manage spring allergies:
🌿 Keep windows closed on high-pollen days
🕶️ Wear sunglasses when outdoors
🚿 Shower and change clothes after spending time outside
🏡 Keep indoor spaces clean to help reduce allergens
💊 Speak with your GP about suitable allergy treatments

If your symptoms are persistent, getting worse or you are unsure what is causing them, speak with your GP. 🩺💙

💛 R U OK? Day – 10th September 2026 💛

Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder that a simple conversation can make a real difference.
You don’t need to be an expert to check in with someone. If you notice that a friend, family member, colleague or someone in your community doesn’t seem themselves, take a moment to ask:

💛 Are you OK?
👂 Listen with an open mind
🤝 Encourage action and support
💬 Check in again

And remember — you don’t have to wait for R U OK? Day. Any day is the right day to ask.

If you are struggling with your mental health or feel like you could use some extra support, give our team a call to make an appointment with a Gp 📞 02 8529 8920 or
