Health Doctors in Melbourne

27 Upvotes

Anyone else finding it impossible to book an appointment with a bulk billing doctor these days? Most aren’t accepting new patients and if you want a female doctor you may as well forget about it. I live in the CBD and feel like I have to travel to the outer suburbs to find a good doctor. Anyone else having this issue or am I doing something wrong?

THDG Need Help Would anyone working in Public Health be willing to help me out?

0 Upvotes

Hi All, I've been looking for work in public health (epidemiology, clinical research, environmental health, data management/analysis, research coordination, etc.) for most of the past year without much luck. I have 10yrs of experience working in the public health sector, but the vast majority of my career has been overseas. I don't know anyone that works in public health here in Aus, and I’ve found it a bit difficult to get a good sense of the overall sector, what employers are looking for, and how best to position my previous experience.

As a result, I was wondering if there’s anyone working in public health who might be open to briefly chatting about their experiences working in the field and answer a few questions?

I promise that I’m not looking for a job referral or anything like that. My goal is simply to get a better understanding of the public health sector in Australia and hopefully gain some insight into how to better navigate the field, so I can approach my job search more strategically.

Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or are willing to help. I'd genuinely appreciate your perspectives and insights. Thanks!

THDG Need Help Medicare Care Plans - Let's settle this.

0 Upvotes

Honestly this should not be so complicated but every single medical professional gives a different answer. Is a care plan calculated from date of issue or... calendar year. Would be great to know if I only have 10 weeks to get my back and mental health in order lol.

Just moved out of home for the first time and have been renting by myself for 4ish months now in a two bedroom unit, I've been quite comfortable so far and not had any issues. recently had a good friend approach who was interested in moving into the other bedroom which id be happy to have so I can save a bit of extra money.

Just unsure about how to actually move them in do I need to sublet or have them as an approved resident or actually get them on the lease?

Health Recommendations, anyone? GPs or specialists dealing with PCOS / PMOS

I'd be so grateful for any recommendations for GPs or specialists dealing with PCOS / PMOS that people have had positive experiences with.

I was diagnosed 10+ years ago. I am across the basics and am hoping to find someone who is up to date on the latest info + treatment

THDG Need Help Bike shops with good range of apparel?

11 Upvotes

Morning all.

I've got a new job, and I'm back to biking to work 4 days a week. I need some new bib shorts, a new pair of shoes, and maybe a couple of jerseys.

Any recommendations for bike shops that carry a good range of apparel so I can try brands and sizes, rather than ordering and returning a million things online? (CBD or inner North would be ideal)

Brand reccos are welcome too; I'm after comfort and quality (washes well, etc.), but they don't need to make a big fashion statement!

Cheers 🚴
