16.01.2022 CONTENT WARNING: This video contains discussion about suicide. There's also some strong language. You might have seen this story on our show yesterday. Sin...ce it aired, Dervla Loughnane from Virtual Psychologist says she's seen an "overwhelming" surge of people reaching out for help - some as young as 14. Good on you, if you've taken that brave first step to ask for help. Good on you, if you've checked in with a mate. And good on you, Mary, Dervla and others, for bringing out the tractors to help un-bog some good people. If you or someone you know needs help, there's always: MensLine Australia on 1300 789 978 Lifeline on 13 11 14 Virtual Psychologist on 0488 807 266 #YourMentalHealthAU

12.01.2022 PRIORITY ANNOUNCEMENT: Appointment availability update. We urge you to please share this information with your friend and family. Firstly, we'd like to thank you all for your overwhelming support. We appreciate it immensely and are working hard to try service everyone's needs. ... Due to doctor shortages across the region, we have seen a dramatic increase in appointment wait times within our own surgery. This notice is to inform our patients that we are, as of today, currently booked out until 27 NOVEMBER 2020 for non-urgent appointments. Whilst we still have urgent appointments available each day, though not everyone that calls will be given an appointment. Each request will be triaged by our clinical team and provided an appointment on basis of urgency. We ask that you do not be offended if we are unable to provide an appointment to you on the day. Please keep this in mind as we move into the Christmas season, especially those that require scripts, and remember that for a service to be able to be bulk billed, you must make an appointment or a private fee may be applicable. We thank you for your understanding and patience. We are working to improve this situation as best we can and will provide further updates as time progresses.
