18.01.2022 My thought for the day to those of Atticus Gippsland - Drouin and Jindivick clinics Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult life is. Life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you.... Toria....Atticus Health Drouin

17.01.2022 The good news is our case numbers are dropping, but we must remain vigilant. If you have any coronavirus symptoms, please get tested. Our testing is done quickly and safely, from our Hastings car park. Call 1300 COVID19 to book. https://atticushealth.com.au/covid-19-testing/

16.01.2022 August is National Tradies Health month. The most important tool for a Tradie is their own body, however Worksafe Data shows that Tradies make up 3 in 5 serious workplace injuries despite only making up 35% of the total workforce. Physiotherapists are able to provide interventions to decrease the risk of workplace injuries and help our tradies remain injury free. Contact one of our experienced workplace Physiotherapists to discuss options to help with the health of your workforce. https://atticushealth.com.au/service/corporate-health/

We look forward to welcoming the existing medical and nursing staff, as well as our patients, to the refurbished clinic very soon. https://atticushealth.com.au/location/bangholme/

14.01.2022 Low back pain is one of the most prevalent health conditions in Australia with roughly 16% of Australians living with chronic back pain and over 80% of us experiencing back pain at some point in our lives.

Whilst everyones back is different and a specific approach will generally get the best results, here are 5 easy lower back exercises to perform at home that most people can benefit from. https://atticushealth.com.au/best-exercises-for-the-lower-/

08.01.2022 Sadly, we know that in Australia each month over 12,000 people are diagnosed with cancer and over 10,000 adults suffer from heart attacks. These major health issues do not take a holiday because all our attention is focused on the Covid-19 pandemic. We cannot neglect other aspects of our health at this time. It is important that we are vigilant in recognising the signs and symptoms of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and all other health conditions as we would have before this pandemic. Do not delay in contacting your regular GP or specialist if you have any concerns. atticushealth.com.au

All packaged up in our 100% compostable envelopes, ready for delivery by Sendle, our B Corp partner and Australia's first carbon neutral delivery service. Every little bit counts! AtticusHealth.com.au - proud to be green!

08.01.2022 With the addition of our latest clinics in Highett and William St Melbourne, we now operate nine GP clinics, consulting with our patients from 8am - 8pm weekdays and 8am - 3pm every weekend.

It may not be your regular GP, but all of our GPs will be able to access and update your medical records if necessary.

06.01.2022 As COVID improves, I'd like to thank all the Atticus doctors at Hastings, Jindivick and Highett for being involved in COVID testing since March 2020. In fact, Atticus Hastings was the first non - government testing site to get up and running. Since that time, the doctors at Hastings have been doing COVID tests 7 days a week, without stopping. We have well passed 2000 tests taken. Great effort to all the doctors and other Atticus staff involved. Proud to be part of this ...team. And indeed, thanks to all the patients for being brave enough to turn up to be tested! Let's continue to stay safe and enjoy summer :) Best, Floyd

If you’ve been putting this task off, now is the time to make an appointment. https://atticushealth.com.au/cervical-screening-update-by-/
