Our Doctors provide quality care using evidence based best practice and use a holistic approach with our patients.
We offer a wide range of medical services that cater to a variety of health concerns and conditions. We have several practice nurses who in collaboration with our Doctors help support you

Chronic Disease Care Plans
Chronic Disease Management plans are for patients with conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. A plan is designed to meet your personal health needs and helps you manage your condition and reduce related risks. Our Registered Nurses and Allied Health Professionals can work in partnership with you and your GP to create your care plan.

A number of our Registered Nurses and Allied Health Professionals can work with you in conjunction with your GP to conduct a health assessment to identify any health risks or other care needs and organise any follow-up care required.
Childhood Immunisation
Our practice stocks all the routine scheduled childhood immunisations. Our nurses and doctors provide a non judgemental, caring and comfortable environment to ensure both you and your children are at ease. If you have questions regarding vaccines or being immunised please feel free to make an appointment to discuss this with a doctor or nurse. Alternatively you may call and ask to speak with a nurse over the phone. Our nurses are qualified immunisers and happy to discuss your queries.
Travel Health
Patients require a doctors appointment and an appointment with one of our nurses. Our Registered Nurses have special training in travel medicine which is a Yellow Fever Accredited Practice. Our Doctors help you identify risks and how to manage them for your particular destination and planned activities. Consultations cover issues such as immunisations, protecting against disease carrying insects, deep vein thrombosis, traveller’s diarrhoea, food & water hygiene, rules for taking medications overseas, etc. Even travellers to lower risk destinations like Europe can benefit from health & safety information. Ideally, make an appointment at least 4 weeks before you are due to leave, but any time is better than no time.
