On behalf of our entire team, we’d like to express our heartfelt thanks for your ongoing trust and support. We couldn’t do this without you, and we can’t wait to share all the exciting updates we’ve got planned for the new year!

January Clinic Availability
We are excited to welcome you back to the clinic in 2025 starting Friday, January 3rd. As the new year kicks off, January is already filling up fast, so we encourage you to book early to secure your preferred timeslot. You can easily book online using this link.
During the holiday period, we’re still available to assist you. For any communication or appointment inquiries, email us at admin@canberraalliedhealth.com, or use the online booking link provided.
Availability Update: The first few weeks of January are quickly filling up, but there are still a few spots left with our psychologist, Chris Thompson. If you’ve been looking to see Chris, this is a great opportunity to secure an appointment before his schedule fills up completely.
We also understand that many clients will be traveling or may have other commitments over the holidays. For those looking for flexibility, telehealth appointments are available! This is a fantastic option if you’re out of Canberra, on holiday, or simply managing a busy household. It’s easy to access from the comfort of your home, ensuring you stay on track with your health goals even during the festive season.
Don’t wait—book now to ensure you get the time that works best for you. We look forward to supporting you in 2025!
New Products
We sell a small array of products in our Aranda clinic. The products on offer this quarter include:
- A fridge magnet weekly planner for meal planning, grocery lists and appointment reminders
- A fridge magnet shopping list pad
- Resistance bands, individually or as a set of 3 in a convenient carry case
- An array of nutrient, fibre and protein supplements
We also have a wide range of sample products for your convenience, including Optifast, BN multi, Fit For Me vitamins and many Formulite products.
Exercise Classes Update
We frequently hear from clients who are eager to attend our classes but struggle with timing, or wish we offered different options, such as Pilates or stretching-focused sessions. While we are always open to adding new classes and accommodating requests, determining the best schedule can be challenging without direct feedback.
To make sure we’re offering the right classes at the most convenient times, we’ve created a short Google Form for you to share their suggestions. This will help us refine our offerings and ensure we meet your needs. Please scan the QR code to provide your feedback, suggestions and ideas. Please feel free to share the attached flyer with whomever may be interested in joining our classes. We truly appreciate any support you can offer in spreading the word!
Thank you for helping us improve the experience for everyone.
Final Thoughts
As we reflect on this year, we are filled with gratitude for the trust and support you’ve shown us. It’s been an incredible year of growth, learning, and connection, and we’re so proud to have been part of your wellness journey. We look forward to continuing to support you in 2025 and beyond, helping you achieve your health goals, overcome challenges, and thrive in every way.
On behalf of the entire team here at Canberra Allied Health, we want to thank you for being part of our community. We wish you a joyful, restful holiday season filled with time to recharge and reflect. Take care of yourself, and we can’t wait to see you in the new year!
