Each year in Australia around 1,720 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In most cases the cancer will be diagnosed at an advanced stage, where it is very difficult to treat.
Only 31% of Australians know that ovarian cancer has the poorest survival rate of any female cancer in Australia.
The 22nd of February is Teal Ribbon Day, aimed at raising awareness of, and funds for, research into this devastating disease. For more information head to the Ovarian Cancer website.

Patients are advised that when seeking a medical certificate for work or school, to please ensure that you are not asking for one for a date that has already passed. GP’s are legally unable to backdate medical certificates, so it’s very important that you speak with or see your doctor on the day you need the certificate. When booking an appointment, please ensure you advise reception that you are seeking a medical certificate, so that we can do our best to fit you in on the day.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please phone the practice on 02 4961 1713 or email us on admin@hamiltonmedical.com.au.
