Skin health for a coastal community
Skin checks are one of the clearest strengths on the practice, supported by multiple doctors with a stated interest in skin cancer detection, prevention and skin cancer care. Where a spot needs more than a check, the team can also manage the full treatment pathway in-house.
- Assessment of changing spots and skin concerns
- Advice around prevention and regular review
- Cryotherapy for sunspots, warts and other benign skin lesions
- Simple excisions, mole and skin cancer removal on site
- Skin grafts and flaps performed by doctors with SCCA training for suitable lesions
- Care that sits inside routine family medicine rather than feeling separate from it
Longer-term and preventative care
The practice team also covers the slower, ongoing side of general practice — the kind of care that benefits from continuity and a doctor who knows your history over time. That includes support for lifestyle and weight-related concerns, where small changes over months can have a real impact.
- Chronic disease management and follow-up
- Heart, respiratory and aged care support
- Smoking cessation support and ongoing review
- Obesity management, including practical weight and metabolic health planning
- Preventative care, routine reviews and practical referrals
Family and life-stage care
The current doctor profiles mention interests across women’s health, paediatrics, mental health, men’s health and general family medicine. The team supports patients through every life stage, from childhood immunisations to menopause, preventative screening and aged care.
- Children’s and family GP appointments, including childhood immunisations
- Women’s health, men’s health and menopause symptom management
- Self-collected cervical screening — the new option offered by the National Cervical Screening Program, available in-house
- Mirena and Implanon insertion, removal and ongoing review
- Mental health conversations as part of day-to-day primary care
Travel medicine and additional appointment areas
Some doctor profiles also mention travel medicine, immunisations and broader rural general practice interests, which gives the team flexibility beyond routine appointments. The practice is a registered Yellow fever vaccination centre — useful for travellers heading to or through at-risk regions.
- Travel-related GP advice for upcoming trips
- Yellow fever vaccination and the international certificate required for entry to some countries
- Immunisation support for eligible patients
- Broader all-ages general practice across changing health needs
Procedures & Diagnostics
More services available on site
Beyond the main categories above, the practice offers a wide range of in-room procedures and diagnostic tests. Where you can be booked depends on the doctor — reception can help match you to the right clinician.
Heart and lung tests
ECG for rhythm and electrical activity, Holter monitor 24-hour recording for intermittent symptoms, spirometry (lung function testing) for asthma, COPD and baseline respiratory review, and routine blood pressure checks as part of ongoing cardiovascular care.
Wound, skin and minor procedures
Wound care and burns dressings with appropriate follow-up, ingrown toe nail management, and minor procedures such as foreign body removal, sutures and simple laceration repair.

Ear syringing
Safe and gentle ear syringing for wax build-up that hasn't cleared with at-home softening drops. Usually a standard appointment with a practice nurse, with GP review if needed.
