An update from Dr Natasha Vavrek

I wanted to let my patients know that I’ll be taking some time away from my regular consulting sessions at Windmill Hill Medical for the remainder of 2026.

I’m not leaving Windmill Hill. I’m simply taking a temporary step back from regular clinical work while I focus on The Bubble Tasmania and its current expansion.

I will still have a small number of selected sessions available at Windmill Hill for patients with chronic or complex conditions who require ongoing care with me.

For my existing patients:

• Regular prescriptions: If you need a repeat prescription for your usual medications, please contact reception. In most cases, I can arrange for an eScript to be sent directly to you without an appointment.

• Results and correspondence: I will continue to review incoming results and correspondence. If there is something that requires urgent attention from me, I will be in contact.

• Other medical care: The other doctors at Windmill Hill are very happy to assist with your care while I am away from regular consulting.

• Transferring care: If seeing another doctor at Windmill Hill isn’t suitable for you, we completely understand and are more than happy to assist with transferring your medical records to another practice.

I am also taking some time away from my own clinical consulting at The Bubble during this period, so this really is a temporary break from regular patient-facing work rather than a move to another practice.

I know some of you have been seeing me for many years, so I wanted to reassure you that I’m not disappearing and I’m not leaving Windmill Hill.

I expect to return to my usual clinical capacity in 2027.

Thank you for your understanding and for trusting me with your care.
