Your family deserves healthcare that actually gets them.

Look, raising a family is hard enough without healthcare that doesn’t listen. We’re nurse-practitioner-led, evidence-based and genuinely invested in understanding what’s going on with your kids, your partners, your whole crew.

From newborns to teenagers to parents juggling everything - we see families holistically. Real answers, solutions and healthcare that fits your life, not the other way around.

And here’s the thing - under 5s get same-day appointments.* Because when your little one needs care, you need it now, not in three weeks.

New to us? It’s easy. Register online or swing by Glen Innes and say hello. We’re open Mon–Fri 8:30am–4:30pm, late nights on Wednesday until 7pm. No fuss, just the kind of care your family actually needs.

Stop searching for a Practitioner who gets it. You found us.

She went to her GP feeling like she was falling apart. Exhausted, Anxious, Can’t sleep, Gaining weight doing ALL the things, Bones aching, Brain foggy as hell….

And you know what she was told?

❌ “You don’t need a DEXA scan.”
❌ “Here’s some antidepressants.”
❌ “Your hormones are fine.”
❌ “HRT will give you cancer.”
❌ “Just do more cardio.”
❌ “This is just… aging.”

SHE LEFT WITH NOTHING. No answers, No real testing, No actual plan. Just a prescription for something that numbs the symptoms while her body is literally screaming for help. And she’s not alone, we hear this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Here’s what nobody is telling you…

Your hormones ARE the conversation.
Your bone density MATTERS and yes you deserve to know what’s happening inside your body.
HRT done right can be life-changing not scary.
More cardio on a cortisol-wrecked estrogen-depleted body is NOT the answer.
You are not anxious. You are not “just getting older.” You are not dramatic.
You are in perimenopause or menopause and you deserve actual CARE.

The system isn’t built for this season of your life.
We will listen to ALL of it — the symptoms they dismissed, the tests they refused to run, the years you spent feeling dismissed and unheard by the very people who were supposed to help you. And then we’ll build you a real functional plan. One that actually works WITH your body not against it.

That Pile of Laundry Isn’t Just Laundry.

For someone with ADHD, a pile of clothes isn’t a 5-minute task - it’s sort, fold, find hangers, remember you needed hangers, feel overwhelmed… walk away.

It’s not laziness, it’s your brain struggling with the very thing ADHD affects most - getting started. Unfinished projects, unanswered messages and things you meant to do that somehow never happen. The mental clutter builds and so does the guilt.

You deserve answers - not just a label, but a real understanding of how your brain works. At Family Health Matters, our ADHD assessments help unclutter your mind. We’ll work with you on practical tools to make daily life feel manageable again.

Book your ADHD assessment today - you don’t have to be a patient of ours.

For a lot of people the moment they get an ADHD diagnosis is the moment a lifetime of confusion starts to make sense. Why things felt so hard, why focus and organisation didn't come naturally and why they felt like they were always a step behind everyone else.

If any of that sounds familiar, we can help.

We now offer a complete ADHD Assessment and Treatment pathway at Family Health Matters in Glen Innes. Led by our two specialist ADHD Nurse Practitioners, it's a thorough and structured process that ends with a clear answer and a personalised plan. Our initial ADHD consultation is $140.00. Followed by two easy steps and with Afterpay available.

And you don't need to be an existing patient. Just enrol online as a casual patient and request an ADHD appointment and we'll guide you through the rest.

You've spent long enough wondering. Let's find out together.

STOP SCROLLING.

“I just want to sleep again.”
“I just want my brain to work.”
“I just want to feel like myself.”

If you’ve said any of that recently, this is for you. Because this isn’t just “getting older" and it’s not something you have to push through. It’s hormones and when they’re off, everything feels harder than it should. Sleep, Mood, Energy, Focus, Your patience, Your relationships and confidence. And the worst part?
Most women are told to just deal with it.

But here’s what happens when it’s actually treated - You sleep. Properly. You wake up with energy, your mind feels clear again, you feel calmer and more like you AND you stop second-guessing everything. That’s the relief and it’s closer than you think.

You don’t have to stay stuck feeling like this.

To help the people in our community feel healthier, stronger and more like themselves again.
