Business News Introducing - Dr Siobhan Larkin Beerwah Dental welcomed a new dentist, Dr Siobhan Larkin, to their team earlier this month. Siobhan said she enjoys all areas of dentistry and has a particular knack to support patients who may experience some anxiety when visiting the dentist. Originally from Port Stephens in NSW, Siobhan completed her qualifications at Charles Sturt University, and now calls the Sunshine Coast home. Before joining the experienced team at Beerwah Dental, Siobhan worked as a dentist with the Australian Defence Force Army in Brisbane and the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Dubbo. Siobhan says her experience with the flying doctors was very valuable. “It was a very rewarding experience, as the people have very limited access to services in these remote locations,” she said. “It was great to be able to help the people that need it most.” She would frequently fly to remote locations such as Lightening Ridge and Bourke to provide essential dental services. It was in this role that she encountered many people who were apprehensive about visiting the dentist and, for many, it was their first time seeing one. Siobhan said being able to help people through this anxiety was the most rewarding experience and she enjoys being a gentle and caring dentist. Siobhan enjoys all areas of dentistry having worked with patients from age three right through to patients in their 90s. She’s looking forward to continuing to contribute to a wonderful practice and helping locals with their dental needs.
Maleny yoghurt finalist in national awards It’s a ‘legendairy’ nomination for local business Maleny Cheese, named earlier this month as finalists in the Australian Grand Dairy Awards 2020 for their mouth-watering product Maleny Gourmet Yoghurt Apple and Cinnamon. Sara Bucher, of Maleny Cheese, said they were excited to be named as one of three finalists in the national awards, particularly given competition across the nation was fierce. “It’s a credit to our team and also to our wonderful suppliers - Helen and Bruce Page, and John and Emma Ruddle of Ruddle Dairy - who are the basis for our success,” Sara said. Sara and husband Markus also use their own dairy cows to supply the Maleny Cheese Factory. This isn’t the first time Maleny Cheese has been named as a finalist in the awards, having won the Champion Flavoured Yoghurt category in 2009 and 2014. Sara said that in order to be named as a finalist in the awards, they first have to go through rigorous judging and win gold in qualifying competitions. “To be named in the top three out of close to 100 entrants really is extraordinary,” she said. This year Maleny Dairies are also finalists with their Maleny Dairies Farmers Choice Guernsey Non Homogenised Full Cream Milk and Kenilworth Dairies for their amazing Chocolate Mousse. Now in its 21st year, Dairy Australia's annual Australian Grand Dairy Awards (AGDA) recognise and reward excellence and innovation in Australian diary produce, awarding the best of the best in the industry. You can find Maleny Gourmet Yoghurt Apple and Cinnamon in your local IGA supermarket and at Maleny Cheese Factory.
