Easter 2025: Stay Safe and Healthy with Ocean Medical, Bondi doctors team This Holiday Season

As the Easter long weekend approaches, families across Australia look forward to time off, festive meals, beach picnics, and getaways. But while Easter brings joy and celebration, it also presents a unique set of health concerns that can affect individuals and families alike.

At Ocean Medical – Bondi’s local medical centre, your trusted Bondi doctors are open on Easter Saturday & Easter Monday to ensure our community stays safe, healthy, and supported. Whether it’s a minor illness, injury, or prescription need—we’re here for you when many clinics are closed.

What Health Issues should Bondi Residents Be Aware Of During Easter?

During Easter, emergency departments across NSW often report a surge in preventable health issues, including:

🍫 Indigestion and food-related illness: Excessive consumption of chocolate, alcohol, and rich meals can lead to gastrointestinal upset.
🏖️ Dehydration and heat-related conditions: As Easter often falls during warm weather, people spending long hours outdoors may not hydrate adequately.
🚗 Road injuries and car accidents: With increased travel, the Easter long weekend sees a spike in traffic-related incidents.
🐣 Child safety risks: From choking hazards with small Easter toys to allergic reactions to food, children are especially vulnerable during this time.
🌼 Allergies and hay fever: Autumn pollens and seasonal changes can trigger respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Tips to Stay Safe and Healthy This Easter

Here’s how you and your loved ones can make the most of the holidays while avoiding unnecessary health concerns:

1. Eat Smart
