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
through your health journey.

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.

Mental Health Care Plans

Our GP’s can provide support and help you access specialised mental health support through a individual management plan. These help provide a more cost effective approach and allow ongoing support through your GP and a psychologist.

Asthma Education

Our Registered Nurses have specialist training in asthma care. Our nurses will work with you and your GP to measure lung function via spirometry tests; identify triggers for asthma; then organise a care plan and treatment that’s best suited to your particular needs.

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.
