Philosophy/Ethos
Our practice goal is to see an improvement in the health outcomes of our community and its individuals by promoting well-being, preventing illness and managing ill health with evidence-based medicine – all with friendly quality care.
This practice promotes a learning environment and actively participates in the teaching of medical students and GP Registrars. We aim to make the medical students and GP Registrars as welcome and supported as possible.

There is a strong emphasis on women's health, mental health, obstetrics, general medicine, emergency medicine, paediatrics, aged care, palliative care, infectious diseases and Indigenous health.
