About Us

Our friendly GPs have been caring for the Cairns community since 2005. Based in Manoora, we are open late, 7 days a week.

 

Some of the health services we offer include:

Indigenous Health

  • Our experienced nurses offer 9 monthly 715 Health Checks that include blood pressure, sugar levels, height, weight, visual acuity, hearing, mental and emotional well being. 

 

Occupational Health

  • Employers may require health screening. Our GPs provide pre-employment health assessments including hearing, vision and fitness tests. Blood and urine tests can also be arranged. Injured at work? Your medical expenses and wages may be covered under workers compensation and WorkCover.

 

Women's Health

  • Our GPs help women at every stage of life including contraception, cervical screening, sexual problems, pregnancy, ovarian cysts, period problems and menopause.

 

Child Immunisations

  • Immunisation protects your children against a range of preventable and life-threatening diseases and infections. Some recommended vaccines are funded by the government. Routine immunisations for children under four include; chickenpox, hepatitis B, measles, meningococcal AWCY, mumps, polio, pneumococcal, rubella, tetanus and whooping cough.

 

Antenatal Care

  • The purpose of antenatal care is to improve the health and wellbeing of mum and baby and should begin before pregnancy. Our GPs provide support and guidance every step of the way. The health of both mum and baby is monitored through regular examinations, screening tests and ultrasounds.

 

Immunisations

  • It’s important to protect yourself and your family from serious and preventable diseases and infections. Our GPs provide the protection you need with vaccinations for children, travel, your work and more. 

 

Travel Medicine

  • Our GPs offer education and advice to minimise health risks while travelling and provide medications and immunisations. Common requirements are prevention of malaria or altitude sickness, treatments for diarrhoea and allergies. 

 

Skin Cancer

  • Our GPs have additional training and experience to assess, diagnose and treat skin cancers. We can sometimes treat pre-cancerous lesions and early skin cancers with non-surgical treatments. The surgical services we provide include biopsies, excisions, cryotherapy and curettage of superficial skin lesions. When necessary, our GPs will also perform skin flaps and grafts.

 

Mental Health

  • Speak to your GP if you’re struggling to cope, feeling low or anxious. Our GPs can assess your condition and may provide therapy and treatment. Our GPs also support people with dependence or addiction problems

 

Psychologist

  • Henry has worked for the Department of Child Safety and for Queensland Health as a Case Manager and as an Acute Care Clinician in both community and hospital settings. Henry's appointments require a referral from a GP.
