Family Health Care

Health is not just drawn from physical wellbeing.  It requires balance in all areas of life. Our doctors aim to work with you and your family to enrich all aspects of your health and wellbeing by combining the best practices of evidence-based care with a wealth of clinical experience and supportive life assessments.  See FREE Health Checks.

Women's Health

Love, relationships, sexual health, exercise, children, working FIFO, and general wellbeing - it's all a part of women's health. Our doctors aim to work with you. From pap smears, menopause, menstrual disorders, early pregnancy, breast checks, contraception, pelvic infection/ STDs, and urinary tract infections, through to pregnancy  advice and  general preventative health care - our doctors cover it all with kindness and confidentiality. See FREE Health Checks.

Shared Pregnancy Care

Shared pregnancy care gives you the option to enjoy some of your pregnancy care with your local Wishing Well doctor. Provided your pregnancy is progressing normally, you’re not having twins, and there are no pre-existing health conditions like diabetes, your doctor liaises with the obstetrician overseeing the birth.  Shared pregnancy care offers you the convenience of visiting your local doctor instead of travelling further to antenatal clinics. Many mums-to-be who share a good relationship with their GP choose Shared Pregnancy Care.

Chronic Disease Management

If you suffer from a chronic condition (a condition that persists for more than six months), your Wishing Well doctor can help you manage so your health is the best it can be for you. Chronic conditions include (but are not limited to):

• Diabetes

• Hypertension

• Asthma

• Coronary heart disease

• Osteoporosis

• Haemochromatosis

• Obesity

• Arthritis - Rheumatoid/Osteo

• Autoimmune conditions

Under a Wishing Well Clinic GP Management Plan, you can access five allied health services per calendar year through Medicare with substantial rebates and sometimes no out of pocket costs to you at all. This includes physiotherapy, chiropractic, nutrition, diabetes education, exercise physiology, occupational therapy, osteopathy, podiatry, speech pathology and more. Your Wishing Well doctor will do all she or he can do to keep your health the best it can be for you.

Immunisation

Diseases frequently vaccinated against include diphtheria, tetanus, influenza, rubella, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease and pneumococcal disease. Vaccination in infancy and early childhood aims to stop the spread of potentially life threatening diseases like chicken pox, mumps, whooping cough, polio, and more. Ask your doctor what is the best vaccination plan for you and your family.

Travel  & Vaccines

Whatever your destination, the best possible pre-travel preparation is essential to protecting your health while away. Some vaccines are compulsory, and you will have difficulty crossing borders without correct documentation. Other vaccines are highly recommended for your own health and safety. Discuss your travel plans in advance of your holiday. Your doctor will write a script for the appropriate vaccine. Chemists may need to order the vaccine. So plan ahead, vaccinate and stay healthy.

Lifestyle Care

Getting healthy doesn’t mean having to overhaul your entire lifestyle. Just a couple of key behavioral tweaks can have a domino effect on your other health-related habits, with lasting benefits. Changing just two behaviors — like watching less TV and eating more fruits and veggies, can have a ripple effect that leads to a healthier lifestyle overall. Discover a younger-feeling, happier and more energetic you. Ask your Wishing Well doctor about a lifestyle check.

Weight Management

Managing your weight can reduce your risk of serious health problems. Obesity is associated with health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. Our Wishing Well doctors can advise you on suitable weight loss strategies. This is important because some prescription medications or pre-existing medical conditions can affect weight loss. Conversely, some diets can affect your medications and endanger your health due to a pre-existing  medical condition.

Diabetes Management

Until a cure is found, if you have diabetes you have it for life. The good news is that by controlling your blood glucose levels you can significantly reduce your risk of developing other serious health problems.  Our doctors can help you take charge. Bringing diabetes under control is the key to a healthier and more energetic life.

Asthma Management

At present there is no cure for asthma, yet with good management people with asthma can lead normal, active lives. The key to living with asthma is keeping it under control. This means learning about what causes your symptoms, how to avoid these triggers and how to use your medications correctly. Regular check-ups with your Wishing Well doctor can help you better control  your asthma. That means fewer asthma attacks and fewer days off work or school because of your asthma.

Counselling

No matter what you're dealing with, you are never alone. Our Wishing Well doctors offer counselling and support for families, couples, teens, and individuals.

Medicals

Do you need a pre-employment, scuba diver, driver's license or some other medical? Our doctors can help.

Minor Surgery

Therapeutic injections, injections of golfer's and tennis elbow, skin biopsies, removal of an in-grown toe nail, removal of contraceptive implants, removal of warts and much more. Our Wishing Well doctors perform minor surgery every day.
