Our vision is to provide quality, innovative and accessible healthcare to individuals and families from Drummoyne and the Inner West suburbs of Sydney. Our doctors are Australian trained, fellows of the Royal College of General Practitioners and available 6 days a week.
We use the latest technology to provide a convenient and comprehensive range of medical and allied health services, all under one roof. We are a family practice with the ability to accept appointments and walk-ins on weekdays.
Our medical practice contains state-of-the-art medical facilities and equipment and we also have nursing, onsite pathology and allied health services.
We invite you to visit us at ground level, Birkenhead Point Shopping Centre, 19 Roseby Street Drummoyne (same level as Coles, behind food court, next to the Chemist).
Appointments can be made by phone or book online from our website or on your smartphone.
We operate as Private billing practice. There will be a reduced fee for children and patients with a valid concession Card. All other consultations will be privately
charged, and with a valid Medicare card we can claim your rebate for you electronically without hassle.
Please note that our reception team cannot advise the exact fee you will be charged at the time of booking. The below fees and rebates are a guide only.
The doctor will determine the Medicare item number to be charged on the day of your appointment based on the Length and Complexity of your consultation.
A ‘Standard’ appointment is usually for one main issue/medical need.

A ‘Extended’ appointment is for several complex issues/medical needs.
Appointments on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays are considered premium services and will attract a $20 – $40 higher fee than weekday appointments.
