September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and it's the perfect time to talk about something that affects so many Aussie families.

Looking after your health isn't just about you… it’s about being there for the people who care about you. Prostate cancer is the Number 1 cancer in Australia, with nearly 72 blokes diagnosed every day. It accounts for about 13% of all cancer-related deaths in men. However, caught early, the outcomes are significantly better.

If you, or a man in your life is due for a health check, pop in and see us. We’re here to help keep our community healthy and informed.

This week marks World Kidney Day 2026 — a global reminder of how important our kidneys are to overall health.

In fact, a significant number of Australians are living with kidney damage or reduced kidney function and may not even know it. Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste from the body, regulating blood pressure and maintaining healthy fluid levels. Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and family history can increase your risk.

If you have any concerns about your kidney health, contact Geelong Marketplace Medical Centre to book an appointment with one of our caring doctors: https://www.geelongmarketplacemc.com.au/
