From the editor It’s hard to think of Dolly Parton and not smile.

So many of us grew up with her music, her movies, her larger-than-life personality and that unmistakable voice.

The outpouring of love from around the world following her passing has been incredible and is a lovely reflection of the mark she left on generations of people. There was something about Dolly. She was enormously successful, but somehow always seemed grounded, generous and completely herself. And what a legacy she leaves behind.

RIP Dolly.

Closer to home, our cover story this week is about another legacy of sorts – investing in the future of our community. We take you inside Noosa Day Hospital: the new purpose-built facility bringing a broad range of specialist day surgery services to the region. For many Noosa residents, accessing specialist healthcare has meant travelling outside the area. So, having these services closer to home is a significant step forward.

It’s a fascinating look at what goes into creating a modern day hospital and, importantly, the people behind it.

And, as always, there is plenty more to get stuck into this week. So, grab a coffee and have a read.

And thank you, as always, for making My Weekly Preview part of your week.

AGENDA

The visit by Housing Minister Sam O’Connor (left) to Quota Park in August last year, after being invited by Member for Nicklin Marty Hunt (right)

STRUGGLING TO PAY THE RENT The Sunshine Coast has been named among Australia’s 10 worst rental markets for affordability, as calls grow louder for more public housing.

H

alf of a $100,000 salary is being swallowed by rent for some Sunshine Coast workers, with the region ranked among Australia’s 10 most unaffordable rental markets.

The figure was revealed in an analysis by national housing campaign Everybody’s Home, which examined rental affordability across the country.

Those on $70,000 spend 67 per cent of their income on rent, while those on $130,000 spend 39 per cent.

A person earning $40,000 would need to spend 107 per cent of their income, making the median rental unaffordable.

The internationally-accepted benchmark of rental affordability is 30 per cent.

The statistics are indicative of a nationwide housing crisis.

Everybody’s Home spokesperson Maiy Azize says rising rents are costing Australians more of their pay than ever before.

“Our rental crisis isn’t a new phenomenon or a policy shock, it’s a long-term trend that’s been compounding, and there’s only so much renters can afford to pay before they hit breaking point,” she says.

“Essential workers, professionals and even those on six-figure salaries are finding it harder to pay the rent right across the country.”

The housing advocacy group’s latest Priced Out report showed that a worker on $70,000 a year, close to Australia’s median employee income of $74,100, would have to spend more than half their income on the median rental in every capital city.

Ms Azize says the rental crisis is a result

of governments walking away from building public housing.

“The solution is actually pretty simple,” she says.

“The federal government needs to build public and community homes at scale.

“While we wait for more public and community housing, the federal government needs to work with states and territories to limit rent increases, improve rental standards and make sure those on the lowest incomes have enough money to live.”

The Australian Council of Trade Unions has urged the government to scale up investment in housing, calling for one-in-10 new homes to be public housing – up from the current rate of one in 50.

Rental data from SQM Research, which Everybody’s Home used in its report, found national advertised rents rose 7.8 per cent in the year to July, driven by a severely low vacancy rate of 1.2 per cent.

Opposition leader Angus Taylor has called on the government to release modelling of how much rents would rise as a result of changes to negative gearing and the capital gains tax.

He continues to claim that rents are forecast to climb as high as 30 per cent, erroneously citing a report from NAB that argued investors in Sydney and Melbourne would need to see yields rise one percentage point.

That would equate to an increase in rents of up to 30 per cent, but only if house prices were unchanged.

NAB has forecast house prices in Melbourne and Sydney to fall by nine per cent this year.

Assistant minister Matt Thistlethwaite backed Treasury forecasts that the tax changes would cause rents to be $2 a week higher than they otherwise would have been.

HOMELESS OUTREACH SUCCESS Eight more people sleeping rough in Nambour have been supported into accommodation since April.

This brings the total number supported through the local homelessness response to 43.

The results follow the state government’s targeted Nambour Homelessness Response, which includes $1million to expand local outreach services, eight new social homes being delivered in partnership with Coast2Bay, and land secured for a future 20-place crisis and transitional accommodation complex.

Member for Nicklin Marty Hunt says more people experiencing homelessness in Nambour are being connected with housing and support, with the Housing Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) team working directly with people sleeping rough and helping identify pathways into temporary or long-term accommodation.

“We know there is no quick fix, but we are getting on with the job – investing in frontline services, delivering more social housing and creating pathways into safe, stable accommodation for people doing it tough,” he says.

The HOME team conducts twiceweekly outreach in Nambour with IFYS, working in areas including Quota Park, Petrie Park and Apex Park in Nambour.

NOW OPEN NOOSA’S FIRST STANDALONE MULTIDISCIPLINARY DAY HOSPITAL Welcoming patients from early September 2026.

Purpose-built for modern day surgery, Noosa Day Hospital brings together three operating theatres, contemporary recovery facilities and a broad range of surgical specialties in one thoughtfully designed facility.

COVER STORY

PURPOSE-BUILT FOR CHOICE AND CONVENIENCE Noosa Day Hospital has opened its doors, providing a broad range of healthcare services to meet current demand and can grow alongside the area’s future growth. WORDS: Ingrid Nelson.

F

or many people living in Noosa, accessing specialist healthcare has meant travelling outside the region for treatment.

Now, that is set to change with the opening of Noosa Day Hospital: a purpose-built facility designed to bring a broad range of day surgery services closer to home.

Located within the Noosa Specialist Medical Centre on Hofmann Drive, the new hospital is Cura Day Hospitals Group’s 39th hospital nationally and its third day hospital on the Sunshine Coast.

For Stephanie Adams, CEO/Director of Nursing at Noosa Day Hospital, the opening represents more than a new facility. It is about creating greater choice for patients and giving the local community access to contemporary healthcare without the need to travel further afield.

“Noosa is a growing region with an active and ageing population, and demand for specialist healthcare services continues to increase,” Stephanie says.

“We saw an opportunity to expand access to high-quality day surgery closer to home, giving local patients greater choice and convenience when it comes to their care.”

10 My Weekly Preview | September 3, 2026

The hospital has been purpose built to accommodate a broad range of day surgery specialties, including ophthalmology, gastroenterology, general surgery, orthopaedics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery and pain management.

Additional services, including breast surgery and Mohs surgery (a minimally invasive option for skin cancer), are also being considered as the needs of the community evolve.

For patients, the benefits of having these services locally can be significant.

Procedures such as cataract surgery, endoscopy and colonoscopy are often straightforward day procedures, but the experience can become more difficult when patients have to travel considerable distances for appointments and treatment.

“For many patients, it means greater convenience and peace of mind,” Stephanie says. “Being able to access procedures such as cataract surgery, endoscopy or colonoscopy closer to home can significantly reduce the stress associated with healthcare, particularly for older patients and their families.”

Local access can make the entire

Stephanie Adams healthcare journey feel more manageable – from the initial referral through to treatment and recovery.

“For patients it means less travel, greater continuity of care and a more seamless experience from referral through to treatment and recovery,” she says.

“It also helps patients remain connected to their local support networks throughout their healthcare journey.”

The opening of Noosa Day Hospital is significant. It is the first standalone multidisciplinary day hospital in the Noosa region.

For Stephanie, that makes the project particularly meaningful.

“It’s something we’re incredibly proud of,” she says. “Bringing the first standalone multidisciplinary day hospital to Noosa represents a significant myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY investment in the future of healthcare in the region.”

While convenience is an important part of the hospital’s offering, the facility has been designed around the way modern day surgery is delivered.

Rather than adapting an existing space to accommodate a hospital, the facility was designed from the outset specifically for day surgery. That has allowed the team to consider everything from patient flow and clinical spaces to operating theatres and recovery areas.

“The advantage of a purpose-designed and built hospital is that every aspect of the environment has been tailored to the needs of day surgery,” Stephanie says.

“We’ve been able to create a hospital that supports efficient patient flow, high-performance surgical environments and a more comfortable experience for everyone who walks through the doors.”

For patients, that means a journey that is designed to be as straightforward as possible. For doctors and staff, it provides clinical spaces and technology designed to support the way they work.

The hospital includes three operating theatres, seven first-stage recovery beds and 10 second-stage recovery recliner chairs, along with contemporary clinical and patient areas. There are 130 car parks, a dedicated patient drop-off area and ambulance bays.

Technology has been another important part of the design, with investment in operating theatres, integrated theatre technology and contemporary sterilisation systems.

But while the clinical capabilities are important, Stephanie says equal thought has gone into creating an environment that feels calm and welcoming.

“We wanted to create a facility that combines advanced clinical capability with an atmosphere that helps patients feel comfortable and reassured from the moment they arrive,” she says.

That balance between clinical excellence and patient experience is something Stephanie sees as central to

myweeklypreview.com.au

the hospital’s role.

Undergoing surgery can be daunting, even when a patient knows they will be home the same day. The environment, communication and care they receive can make a significant difference to that experience.

“We’ve worked hard to create an environment where patients feel informed, supported and cared for” “Patients can expect a calm, welcoming and highly personalised experience,” Stephanie says. “From admission through to discharge, the focus is on making their journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.”

The hospital has been designed with comfortable waiting and recovery areas and clear communication at every stage.

“Our team understands that undergoing any procedure can feel overwhelming, so we’ve worked hard to create an environment where patients feel informed, supported and cared for

throughout their stay,” she says.

Behind the scenes, the opening will create new opportunities for healthcare professionals living on the Coast.

The hospital is expected to employ about 60 people across nursing, administration, support services and management, adding to the region’s growing healthcare workforce.

For Stephanie, employing locally is about more than simply filling positions.

“Healthcare is ultimately about people, and attracting talented local staff is critical to delivering a great patient experience,” she says.

The hospital adds to Cura’s existing presence on the Coast through Kawana Private Hospital and Sunshine Coast Day Surgery, creating opportunities for healthcare professionals to develop their careers within the region.

“Together, these hospitals create additional career pathways for healthcare professionals across the region, offering opportunities for development, collaboration and long-term career growth without needing to leave the local community,” Stephanie says.

Getting a hospital from concept through to opening, however, is no small undertaking.

Hospital construction is complex, with

countless decisions needing to take into account safety, clinical requirements, patient experience and the long-term needs of doctors and staff.

Stephanie says one of the biggest lessons from the project has been the importance of bringing the right people into the process.

“One of the key lessons we’ve learned is the value of collaboration,” she says.

“Surgeons, nursing staff, project teams and healthcare specialists have all played an important role in shaping the facility.”

Their input has helped create a hospital designed not only to function efficiently but also to work for the people who will use it every day.

And while the doors are opening with a comprehensive range of services already available, Stephanie says the hospital is not intended to remain static.

As Noosa’s population continues to grow and change, so, too, will its healthcare needs.

“Absolutely. One of the advantages of a modern, multidisciplinary facility is the ability to adapt and grow alongside the community it serves,” she says.

“Our focus will always be on responding to local healthcare needs, supporting doctors and ensuring Noosa residents have access to highquality surgical care close to home,” Stephanie says.

Ultimately, that is what Noosa Day Hospital is designed to deliver: more choice, greater convenience and specialist care within the community.

For Stephanie, seeing the facility come together has been a rewarding process, but the real measure of its success will be the people who walk through its doors.

“More importantly, it reflects our confidence in the community and our commitment to delivering highquality healthcare where it’s needed most,” she says.

As Noosa continues to grow, having a modern-day hospital on its doorstep means local healthcare can grow with it.

YOUNG TALENT IN SPOTLIGHT Talented young musicians from across the Sunshine Coast took to the stage on August 22, celebrating a decade of Eumundi School of Music.

Founded by five-time ARIA Awardwinning songstress Katie Noonan, Eumundi School of Music (ESOM) is celebrating its 10th year of nurturing the next generation of Coast musicians.

The program gives aspiring young artists the opportunity to pursue their musical dreams with one-on-one tuition and mentoring from professional musicians over three months, leading up to the concert.

“Seeing a full house and an audience

with full hearts was the perfect way to celebrate 10 years of Eumundi School of Music,” Noonan says of the Eumundi School of Arts Hall concert. “The young musicians absolutely rocked the stage, giving it everything they had, playing their hearts out and showing just how much talent, passion and energy they have.”

Katie also praised Kate Miller-Heidke and her husband and musical collaborator Keir Nuttall for sharing their talent and experience with the next generation of musicians.

“Kate and Keir brought extraordinary musical talent and experience to the celebration and it was fantastic to see our students share the stage with them,” Noonan says.

ESOM’s Charlie Dark, 13, had the opportunity to sing alongside Miller-Heidke and Nuttall.

“My experience with the Eumundi School of Music has been an incredible opportunity, surrounded by dedicated teachers and passionate young musicians,” Charlie says. “I’ve loved building friendships within the program and connecting with other young musos who share my passion for music.”

Natoli is pleased to see this first stretch of the seawall completed and opened.

“Taking a seat on the terraces or under the pandanus palms is the perfect vantage point to spot whales, relax and soak in the coastal views,” she says.

“This first section really excites us for the future of Mooloolaba and puts into perspective how the terraced seawall will be the perfect place to watch the waves or attend major events such as New Year’s Eve celebrations, festivals, the Anzac Day service and beach sports like volleyball and rugby – all while providing protection for Mooloolaba.”

The federal government is contributing more than $7.9million to the project through the Disaster Ready Fund, supporting long-term resilience and helping safeguard the region’s coastal communities against future natural hazards.

Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain says the seawall will allow Mooloolaba to be more resilient to the impacts of coastal hazards and extreme weather.

“This new seawall demonstrates how investing in mitigation and resilience infrastructure today can help protect community assets, public spaces and essential services into the future,” she says.

Once complete, the replacement seawall will include an all-abilities beach access ramp and four beach access stair locations with handrails.

MAYORAL BALL TAKES FLIGHT Tickets are on sale for the 2026 SunnyKids Mayoral Ball, as the community comes together in support of local families escaping domestic and family violence.

This year’s ball will raise funds to support SunnyKids’ Transitional Housing Project, helping families move from crisis towards safe, stable and independent futures.

SunnyKids CEO Kathleen Hope says the project recognises that providing a family with a roof over their head is only the beginning.

“A safe home can provide the breathing space a family desperately needs after experiencing domestic and family violence, but rebuilding a life takes much more than four walls,” she says.

MAN WITH A PRAM MOMENTUM Fathers and families will take over Mooloolaba’s Pirate Park on September 6 for the Man With A Pram walk, marking a decade since a simple suburban stroll grew into a national movement.

Man With A Pram began in 2016 when new father Tom Docking was pushing a pram through suburban Melbourne and wondered whether a simple walk could help fathers feel less alone.

At the time, Tom and his wife Kate had a two-year-old daughter and another baby on the way.

“It felt like throwing a birthday party and wondering if anyone would come,” Tom says.

“I knew my dad and brothers would be there, but then families we had never met started appearing.

“That was when we understood the walk could be a doorway to something deeper – connection, honest conversation and support for dads and their families.”

Watching unfamiliar families arrive was the moment Kate realised how many others were experiencing the same isolation, anxiety and uncertainty they had encountered in early parenthood.

“Seeing those families turn up showed us that people genuinely wanted more connection and support,” Kate says.

That first walk has grown into a national Father’s Day event series and community campaign.

It brings families together through local walks and encouraging a more father-inclusive approach to pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

EVENT DETAILS Location: Mooloolaba Spit at the eastern end of Parkyn Parade.

Date: September 6.

Time: 9am.

A RIVERFRONT MASTERPIECE

WOMEN WHO BUILD, LEAD AND GROW BUSINESSES HONOURED The region’s businesswomen have been recognised for their achievements at the 27th annual Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network (SCBWN) Awards.

Now in its 27th year, the awards were presented at Venue 114, Bokarina, on August 21, with winners celebrated across a range of categories recognising women building, leading and growing businesses across the region.

The 2026 SCBWN Award winners are: • Michelle Hamer Alumni Award – Vicki Clark • Micro/Small Business Woman of the Year – Erin Barnes, A Human Edge • Sustainable Business Woman of the Year – Nikki Fogden-Moore, The Mojo Maker Group • Professional Business Woman of the Year – Denise Jensen, Destiny Rescue

• Corporate Business Woman of the Year – Jodi Theisen, Digital Nomads HQ • Young Business Woman of the Year – Keely Abbot, Kinetic • Outstanding Business Woman of the Year – Agnes Pennay, Fresh Meats.

SCBWN president Paula Williamson says the awards exist to amplify women in business and the ripple effect that creates.

“We know that when we amplify one woman, the impact rarely stops with her,” she says. “It builds confidence, opens doors and helps create opportunity for others.

Being recognised is an achievement in itself.”

Hear from these winners at a special breakfast on Tuesday, September 15, at Maroochy Surf Club. The event is open to SCBWN members and guests, with tickets available at scbwn.org.au

A dramatic riverfront residence that belies the complexity of its construction achieved an exceptional six wins across multiple categories at the 2026 Master Builders Sunshine Coast Housing & Construction Awards.

The red carpet was rolled out for a glamorous crowd at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort at Twin Waters on August 21.

Tyson Building Group was honoured with the prestigious Sunshine Mitre 10 House of the Year Award for Mooloolaba masterpiece Azura.

Defined by a sweeping roofline, curved built forms and a seamless connection with the water’s edge, the three-level home features a sculptural curved staircase at its heart, a passenger lift and a basement constructed about 1.8m below high tide level, featuring a car lift, gym and cellar.

The future looks bright for The Industry School Apprentice of the Year Award winner Oliver Cassells, from Becker Constructions.

Ollie and the Becker team were also awarded best Home Renovation Project from $1million up to $2million for the breathtaking Moffat Beach transformation, Derby.

“I am incredibly grateful to be part of such an extraordinary industry here on the Sunshine Coast,” Master Builders regional manager Nicola Scott says.

“This event is about so much more than awards. It’s about recognising the people behind the projects – the visionaries, the craftspeople, the problem-solvers and the teams whose passion and dedication transform ideas on a page into places where lives are lived, families grow, businesses thrive and communities are strengthened.

“Whether it’s a family home, a commercial development, a school, a hospital or a public space, every project leaves an incredible legacy. Congratulations to all our entrants and winners.”

Fundraiser for Parkinson’s Krauss Museum grand opening A significant piece of Buderim’s rail heritage will take centre stage when the Krauss Locomotive Display and Museum officially opens at 5pm on Friday, September 11, at 50 Burnett Street Buderim. The opening ceremony is open to the public, with a private, invitationonly function to follow. The historic Krauss 6854 steam locomotive, once part of the Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway, has been cosmetically restored and will have a permanent home in Buderim. After 23 years of dedication by volunteers from the Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway Inc, the community will see the locomotive and learn more about the important role the tramway played in Buderim’s history.

A fundraising celebration for Restoring Hope Parkinson’s Therapy is being held at The Barn on Flaxton on September 13 at 3.30pm. Tickets are $20, including coffee and cake. RSVP to info@rhptherapy.org.au

by September 8.

Caloundra Evening VIEW Club Caloundra Evening VIEW Club coffers were given a huge boost following a local fundraising dinner at The Halcyon Over-50s retirement village at Nirimba.

The village hosted a ‘potluck international dinner’ for 100 guests, nominating the club as the beneficiary of the proceeds.

A total of $5325 was raised on the night which will directly benefit disadvantaged Australian students in The Smith Family’s Learning for Life Program. For membership inquiries, call 0419 678 349.

A local legend rolls back into town The return of the Krauss locomotive to Buderim is a proud moment for our community.

This historic steam train once operated on the Buderim-Palmwoods tramway in the early 1900s. It has been lovingly restored over 21 years by the dedicated volunteers of the BuderimPalmwoods Heritage Tramway.

Their passion, skill and perseverance have brought an important piece of local history back to life.

From mid-September, the locomotive will be displayed in a purpose-built structure behind the Old Post Office, giving residents and visitors the opportunity to celebrate our rich heritage and enjoy this remarkable landmark for years to come.

Next round of grants is open Sunshine Coast Council’s next Major Grants round is open.

I encourage local, not-for-profit organisations to apply for funding of up to $15,000 for projects, events and activities, or up to $30,000 for community facility infrastructure projects. Visit the Grants page on the council’s website for more details. Applications close on October 6.

August means it’s bushfire season The Sunshine Coast’s bushfire season has arrived, bringing with it a timely reminder that preparation today can help protect lives, homes and communities tomorrow.

When a fire is approaching you only have minutes to act.

So, do your bushfire homework now.

Don’t wait until you smell smoke.

Learn how fire behaves, put together a summer emergency kit and make an emergency plan. Familiarise yourself with council’s Disaster Hub for important links and up-to-date information.

A well-prepared home is easier to defend and reduces the risk to surrounding properties. Residents can check their level of bushfire risk using the QFD postcode checker.

Staying in touch If you have any issues, you can contact me at ted.hungerford@sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au. Head down and say hello on Friday, September 25, at the Old Post Office, Buderim, from 10am-noon.

UP-AND-COMING YOUNG DJ TO SPIN THE TUNES FOR FESTIVAL’S TRAX ON TRACKS SILENT DISCO One of the Sunshine Coast’s emerging young DJs will take centre stage next month.

DJ Duzza will headline Trax on Tracks: a silent disco experience at the historic Tram-Co as part of the 2026 Rangebow Festival.

He also will be performing at Nurture Festival on Saturday, September 5, in Mooloolaba, where he will team up with local country singer-songwriter Grace Alexander to remix her song 3am.

The Trax on Tracks event transforms

the vintage tram into a moving dancefloor where guests don wireless headphones and enjoy a high-energy soundtrack while travelling through Nambour’s heritage precinct.

DJ Duzza, whose real name is Levi Durran, has been building a reputation for energetic sets.

“I have been to a couple of silent discos which were so much fun, but I have never DJ’d a silent disco. So, it’s something I’m really looking forward to,” he says.

“I want the crowd to leave with big smiles on their faces, feeling energised and buzzing because they’ve experienced something completely new.”

Trax on Tracks forms part of the nineday Rangebow Festival. Young DJs interested in taking part are encouraged to contact the festival through the website to register their interest.

Tickets for Trax on Tracks start from $10 and are available through therangebowfestival.org

MY OPINION

HAVING A SMASHING TIME

SMILE AND SAY ‘CHEESECAKE’

Ashley Robinson is still shaking his head after picking up the pieces when his wife had a mishap in her car.

Sami Muirhead and her siblings have managed to avert disaster and save the day at a milestone family celebration.

I

am pretty sure I am jinxed in some capacity. Don’t get me wrong, I have had, and hope to continue to have, a good life and am extremely grateful for that.

But maybe it’s because, at a young age, my dear old dad gave me some unwanted advice: “Remember son, your last name is Robinson. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, as we have no luck at all.”

In fact, we do have luck – two types: bad luck and no luck at all. I mention this as the other day, while I was in at 92.7 Mix FM with Sami and Ben, we were talking about Sami and her bad driving. It was funny at the time – well, at least for Ben and me.

I went home and Old Mate was out.

Bonus! I headed off for a nanna nap, only to be woken about 20 minutes later when Old Mate came home, yelling: “Sorry, dear, I have made a mess in my car.” A lovely way to be woken up. I immediately thought bird seed, food or some other type of spillage.

At the same time, our oldest son arrived for a visit, and his mother handed him a piece of plastic she thought had bumped off her car when leaving her friend’s place.

He went out to put it back on and then

called me, laughing. We both saw what the mess was. Half her front bumper was smashed to bits. We were gobsmacked and asked her what happened.

“I bumped into a retaining wall as I was backing out and my friend just handed me that bit of plastic – so I thought it had just popped off. I never even got out of the car,” Old Mate said.

The two males in the conversation were amazed about a few things. Firstly, didn’t she feel the bang when she hit the wall? If not, didn’t she hear it? No and no.

I then asked her how come her friend didn’t say something. Well, we all know Old Mate is deaf, and apparently her friend is on the way to being blind if she couldn’t see the damage inflicted on the front of the car.

Of course, I was given the job of finding someone to repair this mess. When I called, I got a lovely female receptionist. I told her the story and she replied, “The wall must have jumped out in front of her.”

I then texted Sami to tell her she had jinxed me. After I told her the story, her reply was, “The wall must have jumped out in front of her.”

The sisterhood certainly sticks together.

Ashley Robinson is Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Club CEO, chairman of Thunder Netball and a lifetime Sunshine Coast resident.

D

o you have a dish that is your absolute favourite thing in the world? Perhaps it’s a creation that, when someone who loves you makes it, feels like so much more than food – like a hug for your soul.

For my husband’s 50th birthday, I asked myself: “What do you buy for the elusive male gift?” The answer, as it turned out, was cheesecake.

Not just any cheesecake: Mimi’s legendary lemon cheesecake. Mimi is like a grandmother to us and she had been making this lemon cheesecake for decades.

It takes hours to prepare and it is one of those recipes that carries a little bit of family history in every bite. The first time she made it for us, I served it and left the entire chocolate biscuit base on the serving platter. My family has never, ever let me forget that fiasco.

My hubby’s birthday was celebrated at the Gold Coast Pacific Airshow. Mimi had to catch an Uber to Palmwoods station, then a train to Helensvale, followed by a tram to our high-rise apartment in Surfers Paradise for the party. It was quite the journey for a cheesecake. And Mimi. But they made it.

We spent the day watching the incredible aircraft streak across the Gold Coast sky – the RAAF Roulettes, the fighter jets and the magnificent old Mustangs and Spitfires – all from the rather spectacular vantage point of our apartment.

And then it was time. Time to put down our wine glasses and sing Happy Birthday.

But the cheesecake had not fared particularly well on its journey. I opened the tin and, in what felt like slow motion, tried to prise the cheesecake out. And then … half of it dropped onto the floor.

My brother and sister sprang into action and scooped it all up. They put that piece of art back together like they were surgeons.

And then, because there was nowhere else to go, we found as many sparklers as we could and stuck them into the cheesecake.

We all belted out a very loud and extremely off-key version of Happy Birthday, roaring with laughter. And you know what? It tasted divine. Cold and creamy, with that little tang of lemon juice.

It was absolutely delicious.

Sometimes things simply don’t go to plan. When life gives you lemons, turn them into lemon cheesecake.

MY OPINION

Member Spotlight

THIS WEEK’S WATCH Grab the popcorn! Anthony Michael Webb reviews two very different movies – from Tina Arena’s emotional story to a chaotic girls’ getaway.

W

e all know her. Most of us even grew up with her. One of Australia’s most successful and popular artists, Tina Arena has released her documentary, titled Tina Arena – Unravel Me, at cinemas all across Australia.

The documentary celebrates her groundbreaking 50-year career in the music industry, from her early days on television’s Young Talent Time, which was the catapult for her career into international stardom.

This very intimate documentary focuses on stories from her upbringing in Australia as an Italian immigrant.

It then follows her achievements and struggles, as well as what has made her the woman we know as ‘Tina’ today.

It also includes never-before-seen footage, as well as stories about her life that have been left untold until now.

There are plenty of appearances from family and friends, including Ronan Keating, Celine Dion and Jessica Mauboy, to mention a few.

The film has such emotional depth to it and is a must-see for any

die-hard Tina fan. After all that emotion, you might need something a little lighter – and this next film delivers exactly that, with plenty of laughs, chaos and a stellar trio of women at its centre.

Spa Weekend, starring Anna Farris, Leslie Mann and Isla Fisher, is written by the same writers as The Hangover.

It is set on the California coast (but shot entirely down the road on the Gold Coast) and follows a stellar cast of three women in desperate need of a break from their stressful lives.

They book a spa weekend getaway.

But upon arriving, their weekend is thrown into complete chaos when their train wreck of a friend (Fisher) joins them.

This leads to unimaginable and outrageous consequences.

For me, the film was saved by two things: the chemistry between the cast and the bloopers in the end credits.

So, if you’re looking for a film that’s not realistic in the slightest to just kick back, switch off and have a laugh at some silly humour, then this is your ideal chick flick.

Spa Weekend is in cinemas now.

Anthony Michael Webb is a movie reviewer, director, writer, photographer and cinematographer.

Which local person inspires you?

Lisa Rowe is who inspires me. After 24 years as the heart and driving force behind Wishlist, she’s just stepped down from the charity she built from nothing, starting out with a team of two in a donger behind Nambour Hospital. What she’s grown that into, and what it’s meant for patients and families in their hardest moments, is incredible. But honestly, what inspires me most is who she is as a person: a genuinely lovely human, warm and down to earth. She did it all as a female leader when women weren’t always taken seriously, and she never let that stop her.

Favourite local business? Gosh, tough one – like choosing a favourite child.

We have so many incredible businesses and businesspeople here who value relationships.

Best thing about living on the Coast? At the risk of sounding cliché, it’s the lifestyle.

I live on acreage with mountain views, close to world-class beaches, great dining and a high-end professional community.

How long have you been a Chamber member? Four years as an executive committee member.

What’s the best thing about being a Chamber member? Honestly, it’s the connections with other people in business — regardless of the size of the business.

Sole operators sit alongside big employers and everyone’s treated the same. There’s no hierarchy about who’s ‘made it’ and who hasn’t. You just get real people, sharing real experiences, happy to help each other out.

Favourite ChamberCast with the President and Pep? Dr Leon Stensholm.

What he gives to the mental health space to connect with youths across the Coast is outstanding. I love hearing his story.

Favourite Chamber event? Our February breakfast that kicks off each year. It’s exciting bringing in high-end speakers we don’t often get access to here and seeing the room captivated by their stories.

How can the Coast be improved?

Public transport. Our population’s growing fast, roads are busier and it’s hard for teens to be self-sufficient when they can’t get around.

HOROSCOPES

CROSSWORD

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

Impatient Rams are keen to share information and exchange ideas, but Mercury opposes Neptune which confuses communication. So slow down and take the time to listen carefully, absorb information, double-check details and then respond with kindness.

Close relationships and joint ventures are set to improve as Venus transits into your partnership zone on Thursday. But the nebulous Mercury/Neptune opposition could temporarily scramble your inner compass and blow you off course.

You love to chat, converse and communicate about your hopes, dreams and plans for the future.

However, sometimes you can confuse talking with actually doing it. If you think things through and then act with passion and purpose, the week will go well.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

On Friday, there’s a new moon in earthy Virgo in your communication and education zones. Saturday looks tricky when Neptune stirs up confusion, secrets and dramas. Aim to speak clearly, check details often, and tell your nearest and dearest how much you love them.

Are you making the most of Jupiter jumping through your sign? The planet of good fortune is transiting through Leo for another 10 months.

And then it won’t be back for 11 years. So don’t rest on your laurels.

It’s time to turn opportunities into productive, prosperous projects.

It’s your annual new moon in Virgo, so it’s a good week to plan, organise, clean, tidy, declutter and detox. Plus, it’s also the perfect time to update your wardrobe, get a new hairstyle or launch a personal project. Beware dubious information and fake news.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

Mighty Mars is activating your travel, adventure and higher education zones, so it’s a good time to be an enthusiastic student of life as you explore and experiment. With the new moon, it’s also time to grab opportunities and make bold, brave moves.

Friday’s new moon heralds a welcome job offer or a fresh career opportunity. But the Mercury/ Neptune opposition stirs up your friendship zone, so a close friend could frustrate you or an acquaintance could give you some confusing information.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

Resist the temptation to retreat inwards (and be moody and mysterious) to cover up your emotional insecurities. Clear and honest communication (with yourself and others) will get you a lot further than cranky Capricorn behaviour.

The new moon activates your intimacy and intrigue zones, so it’s a good week to get up close and personal with someone special.

And some adventurous single Aquarians could meet someone new. Plus, get your creative juices flowing in fresh directions.

Neptune (your ruler) opposes Mercury, which encourages daydreaming. However, if you daydream the week away, then you’ll just end up feeling dazed and confused. Channel your creative energy into relationships and joint ventures.

CONVENIENCE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE TO CARE

C

ancer Care Associates believe patients should have access to high-quality treatment, with the flexibility to receive that care where it best suits them.

With doctors consulting and treating across various locations, patients can access the clinical team at the centre most convenient for them.

Services recently expanded at Cancer Care Noosa with the introduction of haematology, providing local specialist

myweeklypreview.com.au

care for patients with blood disorders and haematological cancers.

Haematologists Dr Manjunath Narayana and Dr Jason Conn say connected haematology services are an important part of making care easier for patients.

“Being able to offer haematology care across Noosa and the Sunshine Coast gives patients more choice around where they are seen and treated, while maintaining continuity

with their clinical team,” they say.

Dr Narayana and Dr Conn are also involved in clinical trials, helping provide patients with access to research and emerging treatment options.

For referring GPs, the connected services provide clear referral pathways, with the team available to help with specialist availability and identifying the most appropriate clinician and location for each patient.

Cancer Care Associates are also expanding access to clinical trials, allied health and supportive care services, recognising that excellent cancer care extends beyond medical treatment alone.

Across Cancer Care Noosa and Sunshine Coast Haematology & Oncology, the services continue to grow, providing patients across the region with greater choice, convenience and continuity throughout their treatment.

By strengthening services across Noosa and the broader Coast, the focus is simple: excellent clinical care, greater access to treatment, clinical trials and supportive services, closer to home, with more choice and flexibility for patients and their families.

Allied health services include physiotherapy, massage therapy, dietetics, exercise physiology and psychology.

QUEENSLANDERS URGED TO GET FREE FLU VACCINATIONS Chief health officer Dr Marianne Gale has urged Queenslanders to get vaccinated, with this year’s flu season expected to peak in the coming weeks.

Already, 1.7 million Queenslanders have received their flu jab this year.

This includes 31,260 more children and adolescents, aged six months to 17 years, who have been vaccinated compared with the same time last year.

Dr Gale has encouraged Queenslanders to make use of the free vaccination program before it ends on September 30.

“It’s not too late to get vaccinated,” Dr Gale says “This year, we’ve seen a later flu peak and a more unusual flu season which may be due to last year’s record number of cases. In addition to that, we also had a second wave of the ‘Super-K’ strain from Europe throughout December and January.

“These factors change the population’s immunity to flu, which is likely why we’re seeing a different-looking flu season this year.”

Cases and hospitalisation rates increased over the past six weeks.

Getting a yearly flu vaccination is recommended for all people aged six months and over, particularly for those at higher risk of becoming very unwell.

NARELLE’S JOURNEY BACK TO FREEDOM FROM PAIN For Narelle, managing her body and staying pain-free has been a lifelong journey.

Born with spina bifida occulta, she has spent years learning how to work with her body, maintain its function and navigate the challenges that come with it.

When persistent pain developed in her right hip two years ago, chiropractic care, massage therapy, exercise physiology, Pilates, an MRI and prolotherapy all became part of her journey. Some approaches helped, and Narelle began to experience glimpses of pain-free days.

But she couldn’t quite get to the freedom she was looking for. Then, her husband spotted an article about Cluzie Clinic in a local magazine.

Narelle eventually booked in to see Claire Dunkley at Cluzie Clinic, Buderim,

and began ANF Therapy. She has had about five sessions – and noticed a difference almost immediately. But it was after her second treatment that she experienced a moment that stopped her in her tracks.

“I was walking somewhere and I thought, ‘Oh, I think this is actually how a normal body is supposed to feel’,” she recalls.

For someone who has spent her entire life learning to manage her body, that was a profound realisation.

Narelle describes ANF Therapy as “the final key for the lock”. Rather than viewing the therapy as something that replaces the other work she’s doing, she sees it as a powerful complement to her Pilates and a broader approach to wellness.

One of the biggest changes has been the relief she feels through her hip, particularly when standing for periods of time.

And she’s noticing changes in how her body responds to movement. Narelle is progressing through classical Pilates, working to retrain the muscles around her spine and retrain the neurological pathways that control movement. She says ANF Therapy has helped support that process.

Discover ANF Therapy at Cluzie Clinic, and find out whether it could become the missing piece in your own journey towards moving, feeling and living better.

UNDERSTANDING BCC SKIN CANCER AND TREATMENT Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer in Australia, with Queenslanders experiencing particularly high rates.

Unlike melanoma, BCCs very rarely spread to other parts of the body. However, that doesn’t mean they should be ignored.

Most grow slowly and some can be surprisingly difficult to spot, while certain subtypes can behave more aggressively.

If left untreated, a BCC may develop into a sore that doesn’t heal, becomes painful or bleeds. Over time, it can also grow into surrounding tissues. This can be particularly concerning on areas such as the face, nose, ears and neck, where important structures lie close beneath the skin.

The good news is that most BCCs can be treated successfully, particularly when detected early.

Regularly checking your own skin for new or changing spots, together with professional skin checks when appropriate for your level of risk, can help with early detection.

Treatment depends on the BCC’s subtype, size, depth and location. Surgery is common, but it isn’t always the only option.

Some superficial BCCs may be treated with methods such as curettage and cautery, cryotherapy (freezing) or a

prescription cream that stimulates the immune system.

For selected thin nodular BCCs, photodynamic therapy may be considered.

This non-surgical treatment uses a lightsensitive medication, followed by a specialised light to target abnormal cells.

Other BCCs, including higher-risk or more aggressive types, generally require surgical removal. They may sometimes need more advanced surgical techniques.

At SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre, the doctors assess each BCC individually, discussing the appropriate treatment options for each case.

They provide the range of treatments on site at the clinic. Whist most BCCs can be managed, a small number of complex cases may require referral.

Anyone can book appointments with an experienced skin cancer doctor at SunLife.

No referral is needed.

HEARING REHABILITATION SHOULD BE A JOURNEY, NOT A QUICK PURCHASE When a client walked into our clinic recently, she brought with her a lesson many people learn the hard way.

She’d bought her first set of hearing aids from a large shop, drawn in by the low price.

On paper, it seemed like the smart choice. In practice, it wasn’t long before she realised what that price tag didn’t include.

“I got the devices, but I didn’t get the support,” she told us.

No one checked in to fine-tune the fitting as her hearing needs changed. No

one walked her through how to adjust to new sounds, or helped troubleshoot when something wasn’t working. She was left to manage a significant change in her daily life largely on her own.

This is a common story and it points to something important: hearing aids are not a one-off purchase, they’re the beginning of a process. Adjusting to amplified sound takes time. Lifestyles change. Hearing shifts. Technology needs recalibrating.

Without ongoing, personalised care, even the best devices can end up sitting in a drawer.

At a rehabilitation-focused clinic, the relationship doesn’t end at the point of sale.

It includes regular follow-up appointments, fine-tuning, counselling and practical guidance for real-world listening situations – from busy cafes to family gatherings.

Better hearing isn’t just about the technology in your ears. It’s about the support behind it.

Choosing a clinic that treats hearing care as an ongoing journey, rather than a single transaction, makes all the difference to long-term success. Hearing is a health issue, not a retail opportunity.

Dr Apel will operate at Kawana Private Hospital and Noosa Day Hospital, moving forward.

Sunshine Coast Eye and Retina recently welcomed Helen Ruby to the clinic in her role as practice manager. Helen has more than 20 years’ experience in eye health care in Wellington, New Zealand. She has quickly become an integral member of the team and she is enjoying getting to know patients.

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES MADE IN REVERSE TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT

THE TIREDNESS YOU JUST CAN’T SLEEP OFF Most of us have a story to explain our fatigue: a demanding job, a new baby, too much screen time before bed.

But there’s a specific kind of tired that no amount of sleep fixes, and here’s how you can tell the difference.

CPAP Direct’s founder Bryce Perron, who has sleep apnoea, describes a condition that’s remarkably common, yet frequently invisible to the person living with it.

Sleep apnoea causes the airway to close during sleep, jolting the brain awake so you can breathe again. All the while, you remain largely unconscious and unaware. The result is a cycle of disrupted sleep that prevents your body from reaching restorative deep sleep.

So, while the hours on the clock might add up to a full night’s sleep, the quality tells a different story: one of constant interruption, rather than genuine rest.

The telling detail, Bryce notes, is that if you’re still tired after eight hours in bed despite maintaining good sleep habits, it’s a red flag worth investigating, rather than dismissing it as lifestyle or simply getting older.

There’s also a social pattern worth noting: it’s rarely the sufferer who first raises the alarm. Snoring and choking

sounds are usually noticed by partners, not the person experiencing them.

Bryce’s diagnosis began when his wife raised the alarm, prompting a sleep study that changed how he understood his exhaustion.

The good news is that sleep apnoea is treatable, and getting answers doesn’t need to be complicated. It starts with a conversation and, if needed, a sleep study to see exactly what’s happening while you’re asleep.

If you’re ready to stop waking up tired, visit your local CPAP Direct store for a free chat about your next steps.

Care backed by experience.

Recent technological advances have significantly improved the outcomes of reverse total shoulder replacements, offering patients enhanced precision, efficiency and overall success rates.

One notable advancement is the use of computer-assisted surgical navigation systems, which allow surgeons to create a 3D model of the patient’s shoulder anatomy before the procedure.

This technology helps surgeons plan the surgery with greater accuracy, leading to improved implant placement and overall function post-operatively.

Additionally, the development of patient-specific implants utilising 3D printing technology has revolutionised the field of shoulder replacement surgery.

These custom implants are tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy, resulting in a better fit and potentially reducing the risk of complications such as implant loosening or instability.

Another significant advancement in reverse total shoulder replacements is the use of augmented reality (AR) technology during surgery. AR technology provides real-time guidance to the surgeon, overlaying digital information onto the

patient’s anatomy to help optimise implant positioning and alignment.

This technology enhances surgical precision and can lead to improved patient outcomes.

These technological advances in reverse total shoulder replacements continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in shoulder surgery.

Patients considering this procedure should discuss these technological advancements with their orthopaedic surgeon to understand how these innovations may benefit their case.

HOW TO PROTECT AGAINST MACULAR DEGENERATION Did you know that age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness and severe vision loss in Australia?

It accounts for nearly half of all cases.

The macula is a tiny but powerful part of the eye, located at the back of the retina. It’s responsible for your sharp, central vision – the kind you need for reading, recognising faces, seeing fine details and even detecting colours. When the macula is damaged, everyday activities can become challenging.

Who is at risk? – Macular degeneration is most common in people over 60, but lifestyle and family history also play a role.

Smokers and those with a family history of AMD face a higher risk of developing the condition.

How does it show up? – For some people, AMD develops slowly; for others, symptoms can appear quite suddenly.

You may notice that you need more light to read, fine detail becomes harder to see, or black and blurry patches creep into your central vision. Straight lines may even begin to look wavy or distorted.

If you’re over 60, it’s vital to have an eye check with your optometrist or ophthalmologist every year. These regular visits are the best way to detect changes

INDUSTRY EXPERTS

early, before they cause significant vision loss.

Can you protect your eyes? – Yes! While there’s currently no cure for age-related AMD, there are ways to reduce your risk and safeguard your vision.

A diet rich in leafy greens and oily fish delivers vital nutrients that support macular health. Pairing that with regular eye checks can go a long way in preserving sight.

For those with ‘wet’ AMD – where fluid builds up beneath the macula – regular injections are used to manage and stabilise vision. Until recently, however, there were no effective treatments available for ‘dry’ AMD. That’s now changing.

Best Practice Eyecare is one of the first clinics to offer low-level light therapy: a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to slow the progression of dry AMD and, in some cases, improve vision.

TOS: when your shoulder pain isn’t the real problem

There’s no DIY shortcut to cosmetic surgery

Pain, pins and needles, numbness or weakness in your arm can be frustrating, especially when the problem seems to have no obvious cause.

Sometimes, the source lies higher up, in an area called the thoracic outlet.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) occurs when nerves or blood vessels travelling from the neck into the arm become compressed around the space between the neck, first rib and shoulder. Poor posture, prolonged desk work, repetitive overhead activity, previous injury and muscle tightness can all contribute.

As physiotherapists, we look beyond the painful area. We assess posture, neck and shoulder movement, breathing patterns, muscle strength and nerve mobility to understand what may be driving the symptoms.

Treatment is highly individualised and may include postural retraining, targeted stretching, strengthening of the shoulder blade and rotator-cuff muscles, breathing exercises and carefully selected nervemobility techniques.

Education and ergonomic advice are equally important.

The goal isn’t simply to reduce pain, it’s to restore confident movement, improve function and help you get back to doing what you love.

As a plastic surgeon who has spent years studying, training and practising in the field, I am increasingly concerned by the growing culture of DIY cosmetic procedures being shared and discussed online.

Social media and online forums have made it easier than ever for people to discover a trend, buy products and convince themselves that they can recreate a professional procedure at home. The latest example is DIY liposuction, where people on platforms such as Reddit discuss and swap tips on self-administered, fat-dissolving products or surgical-style suction devices purchased online.

But cosmetic procedures are not something you can learn from a tutorial or recreate with a kit delivered to your front door. People may see dramatic before-and-after images online without understanding what is actually involved, the medical training required or the potentially devastating consequences when something goes wrong.

The biggest concern is how quickly online trends can make dangerous procedures appear normal or achievable.

Just because someone on the internet claims they did it successfully does not mean it is safe. Do your research, question what you see and seek advice from qualified experts who genuinely have your health and best interests at heart.

Don’t settle for guesswork on limbs

How does the gut affect dry eyes?

Minimally invasive spine surgery

Limb swelling is often more complex than it appears.

While massage and ‘lymphatic’ treatments are widely promoted online and in wellness clinics, swelling should never be managed without proper medical assessment first. Seeking qualified healthcare helps ensure patients receive safe, evidencebased treatment rather than temporary symptom management.

Swelling may be linked to common issues such as venous disease, injury, infection, medication side effects or lymphatic dysfunction. However, it can also be associated with more serious conditions, including deep vein thrombosis, heart or kidney disease, cellulitis or rare vascular disorders such as Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome and May–Thurner syndrome.

These conditions require accurate diagnosis and coordinated medical care.

A comprehensive assessment by a general practitioner, nurse practitioner, vascular specialist or accredited lymphoedema clinician can identify the true cause of swelling and guide appropriate treatment.

By contrast, seeking care from unaccredited ‘therapists’ without proper diagnostic access and training may delay important medical intervention and place patients at unnecessary risk.

Quality healthcare begins with a timely diagnosis, not assumptions.

Dry eye involves more than tear quantity or quality.

Inflammation often drives the condition. Researchers are examining whether gut health influences this process.

Gut microorganisms help regulate whole body immunity. Research links dysbiosis, an altered microbial balance, with inflammation in the tear glands and ocular surface. Researchers globally now call this the gut-eye axis. The evidence base for this has been building at the Centre for Digestive Disease in Sydney.

Australian researchers at UNSW also conducted a double-masked, randomised trial involving 41 people with dry eyes.

Preliminary results demonstrated participants receiving prebiotic and probiotic supplements reported better symptom scores than the placebo group.

A 2026 European review has also identified the gut-eye axis as an important emerging area of dry-eye research.

Gut therapy may elevate dry-eye treatment but requires a targeted approach.

My practice involves collaboration with a skin scientist based on the Sunshine Coast in assessing the whole patient, beyond the eyes. Diet, medications, autoimmune disease, hormone profiling, make-up regime, skin analysis, lid health, blink rate, sleep patterns and screen use all matter when developing an individualised and sustainable dry-eye treatment plan.

The majority of spinal conditions can be treated effectively without surgery.

When surgery is being considered, however, it is important to have specific goals of treatment and minimise collateral damage to healthy structures.

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) offers numerous benefits compared with traditional open surgery.

One of the main advantages is reduced recovery time.

Patients typically experience reduced trauma to surrounding tissues, which means less postoperative pain, allowing for faster rehabilitation and a return to daily activities. The precision of minimally invasive techniques allows surgeons to target specific areas without disturbing healthy tissue, enhancing surgical outcomes. Additionally, MISS often results in smaller incisions, which may reduce the risk of infection and scarring.

Overall, minimally invasive spine surgery provides a more patient-friendly option, promoting faster recovery, less discomfort, and high satisfaction, making it an appealing choice for those suffering from spinal conditions.

While not all patients or conditions are suitable for MISS techniques, it is worthwhile asking your spinal surgeon if this is an option for you.

Muscle-sparing option may help with knee surgery

Knee replacement surgery is generally considered a very successful operation in orthopaedics.

One of the first things patients ask me when considering a knee replacement is how much pain they’ll be in and how long recovery will take.

These are natural concerns and, thankfully, surgical techniques have progressed over the years to support better outcomes.

One approach I often discuss is the muscle-sparing subvastus technique.

Unlike traditional methods that involve cutting through the quadriceps tendon, this approach gently lifts the vastus medialis muscle to access the joint. By sparing the quadriceps, it aims to minimise soft-tissue trauma.

For some patients, this may mean less post-operative pain, a faster return of muscle control and improved early mobility.

While this technique isn’t suitable for everyone, it’s an option I consider carefully when planning each patient’s surgery.

Remember that all surgery has risks and all approaches have advantages and disadvantages.

NOT ALWAYS AN INTELLIGENT MOVE TO USE AI

The co-founder of a specialised digital contract review platform warns that artificial intelligence can’t beat professional legal advice from a human expert.

P

roperty buyers are increasingly relying on ChatGPT and other generic artificial intelligence (AI) tools to interpret real estate contracts. But experts warn these platforms are producing incorrect, incomplete and potentially dangerous advice.

As AI becomes part of everyday decision making, more property buyers are pasting contracts into chatbots and assuming the responses are reliable.

But general-purpose AI platforms are not trained on Australian property law, do not recognise state-based requirements and cannot identify the clauses that carry real financial consequences, BuySecure co-founder Richard Bootle says.

This trend is exposing buyers to significant risks, with generic AI producing confident but often misleading explanations that fail to identify critical legal issues, he says.

“People are using ChatGPT to review the most important legal document they’re likely to ever sign,” Mr Bootle says.

“The problem is that AI tools like ChatGPT aren’t trained on Australian property law, don’t understand state-based requirements and can’t tell you whether a

Inset: BuySecure co-founder Richard Bootle clause is standard or a red flag. Buyers are getting summaries that look helpful but often miss the details that matter.”

Mr Bootle says the rise of generic AI contract reviews is creating a false sense of security among buyers who believe they’ve completed their due diligence when they haven’t.

“A clause that looks harmless in an AI summary might carry major financial consequences under Queensland or NSW

legislation,” he says. “Generic AI can’t detect missing disclosures, unusual settlement terms or one-sided special conditions because it’s simply not built for that.”

As AI becomes more embedded in society, the danger lies not in the technology itself but in using the wrong kind for specific purposes, Mr Bootle says.

“There is no question that AI can be great for recipes and travel tips,” he says.

“But it’s not great for reviewing a bespoke property contract.

“Buyers deserve tools built for Australian law, contracts and consumer protection and not global chatbots that treat every contract as interchangeable.”

On the other hand, specialised digital contract review platforms such as BuySecure have undergone rigorous testing across all Australian states and territories to ensure compliance with local legislation, as well as offering legal insurance at the same level as human reviews, Mr Bootle says.

“At the end of the day, it’s important to understand that digital contract reviews can provide buyers with an affordable contract review at any time of the day or night, but they should never replace professional legal advice,” he says.

“Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions anyone usually makes.

So, it stands to reason that you should always protect your purchase with professional advice from an actual human being during the transaction.”

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

“Hey, bro?” ... White men should not use “bro”, in my opinion.

It’s a bit like the ‘N’ word: some things should not be said. Am I a racist? Nope, but let’s be honest: those words really sound better and cooler coming from people with darker skin.

On a recent surf trip, I was surrounded by a bunch of guys in their mid-20s who could not stop saying “bro” and it drove me crazier than I already am. “Hey, bro”, “Yeah, bro”, “Cool, bro”, “Sick, bro”, “Wow, bro” ... it just went on and on. Thank heavens for noise-cancelling headphones.

Later, bro. Nooooooo! It’s contagious.
