We are a one-stop health centre for all families in the local community. We eliminate the multiple and complex referral pathways which are known to hinder access by many people.
We provide services into workplaces, schools, and community groups as a way to promote wellness.
As well as a full range of GP services we also offer specialist mental health and wellbeing services, psychology, paediatric, occupational therapy and speech therapy services, as well as parenting and family development programs.
