Geography & Lifestyle

The population of Warragul is over 10,000, not including the many surrounding towns in the area.  Warragul and district has a very high growth rate.  It has a variety of private and public schools and a TAFE campus.  We have good recreation and sporting facilities, excellent quality farming and friendly, helpful local business owners. 

Warragul is approximately 100kms east of Melbourne.  We are known for our location, an hour away from the city, beaches, snow, rain forest and bushland.  We are virtually central to Traralgon/Churchill and Melbourne.

We believe our practice provides a high level of care.  The clinic is fully accredited with AGPAL.  We support medical students, have excellent reception and nursing staff, as well as facilities to match.

 We maintain a good relationship with nursing staff from the hospital and aged care services, and excellent relationships with local specialists both professionally and socially.
