Hello world! This week is men's health week, and we are dedicated to upholding and spreading this movement message.
Men's Health Week is about spreading awareness and dismantling the challenges that man face in the healthcare system, and about increasing the amount of men going for regular GP checks, as this number is incredibly low, with less than 40% of Australian men doing this. This Men's Health Week we are committed to bringing attention to the factors that lead to this awful situation and ensuring the wellbeing of all our patients. Men’s Health Week 2026 is your reminder to book a GP today, as regular checkups can save lives!

We are able to accept NEW PATIENTS again!

Please refer your lovely friends, family and neighbours who appreciate thorough, high quality health care.

Our amazing new team member, Dr Kate van Nugteren, is starting next week.
She completed medical training at the University of Melbourne 2014 and has been a fully qualified GP since 2020.

She loves the variety of General Practice -seeing all patients of all ages, for all issues, preventative health, chronic disease management and health education.

'Getting to know people as a whole and providing continuity of care is one of the best parts of the job'

After work she enjoys planning her next travel adventure so would love to advise you on your own travel plans, travel medicine and vaccinations.

Due to her ability to overwater her own indoor plants she will stay well away from all the plants at the clinic.
