Announcement – Sunnybank patients only
My Sunnybank consulting rooms are now closed. I will be consulting from my Ipswich practice only. If you are a current patient I warmly welcome you to continue your treatment at the Ipswich practice. If this is not convenient I will discuss some options with you for alternative ongoing care.

- 1.7 million Australians have CKD
- 1 in 3 Australians are at increased risk of developing CKD
- 40% of those aged 75 or over have CKD
- 90% of people with CKD are unaware they have the condition
