It’s Mental Health Month at South Steyne Medical Centre.

One in five Australians are in some way affected by mental health issues annually. That means for every 5 people you meet there is a 20% chance that one of them has experienced issues around mental health in the last year alone.

Emotional wellbeing is the cornerstone of good health. That’s why we, at South Steyne Medical Centre, feel that this initiative is so important and worth supporting.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month at South Steyne Medical Centre.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Australia. Approximately 55 Australians are diagnosed with it each and every day. This means that over 20,000 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

Since 1994 the 5-year survival rate has increased from 76% to 91%!

This is why Breast Cancer Awareness Month is so important. The work of the National Breast Cancer Foundation is saving thousands of lives.

It’s World Heart Day at South Steyne Medical Centre.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) kills 18.6 million people every year and kills more people than cancer, respiratory disease and HIV.

CVD is largely the result of lifestyle factors, which is good news, because these are things that can be controlled in our own lives.

Cardiovascular disease may seem like an insurmountable obstacle or maybe something that seems inevitable. However, by taking proactive measures in your health sooner you can greatly reduce your risk of CVD.

Have a chat to one of our doctors about CVD if you are concerned by clicking here.

R U OK? day at South Steyne Medical Centre.

You never know what someone is going through. Asking them how they are going may change their life.

R U OK? Day encourages all of us to check in with those around us, whether family, friends, or someone we pass on the street.

Suicide is sadly a large problem in Australia. 89% of Aussies report knowing someone who has attempted to commit suicide.
