Children's ADHD Assessment
School reports, teacher observations and the everyday detail matter more than you would think. What we ask for, why we ask for it, and what the first appointment is and is not. Read the articleADHD Medicine Rules in NSW
The rules changed recently and are still changing. Who can start a treatment, who can continue one, and what it means for people in a regional town rather than Sydney. Read the articleWhat Happens at a Work Medical | Muswellbrook
Hearing, vision, lung function, blood pressure and a physical assessment against the demands of the job. What the employer sees, what stays with you, and how long to allow. Read the articleShift Work and Sleep
Rotating shifts do measurable things to sleep, appetite and mood. The practical adjustments that help, and the signs it has tipped into something worth an appointment. Read the articleWhat an ECG Shows

You blow into a tube, several times, and it produces a picture of how your lungs are working. What we use it for, how to prepare, and why the effort matters. Read the articleSmoke, Dust and Your Lungs
Smoke seasons and dust are part of life in the Upper Hunter. Who feels it most, what actually helps indoors, and when a cough has gone past waiting it out. Read the articleWorking in the Heat

Your GP writes the referral and sends the relevant history so you are not starting from scratch. How long it lasts, what to ask about waiting times, and what to do while you wait. Read the articleMaking the Most of Ten Minutes | Muswellbrook
A standard consult runs about ten minutes. Bringing your list, naming the main thing first, and knowing when to ask for a long appointment instead. Read the articleNothing matches that. Try a broader word, or call reception on (02) 6530 7404 — they will know.
