Heathmont General Practice was established in 2013. Our team of experienced doctors are committed to providing quality health care for you and your family. We take pride in practising honest, evidence-based medicine with professionalism and compassion. Our doctors have chosen General Practice as their specialty and are passionate in delivery healthcare in the Primary Care Setting. All our doctors are Fellows of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), and have had extensive experience providing medical care in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Our support staff is trained to ensure your visit with us runs smoothly.
Heathmont General Practice first achieved accreditation by Australian General Practice Accreditation Ltd. (AGPAL) in 2013. In October 2016, and again in August 2019, we have consistently achieved excellent standards and were successfully re-accredited by AGPAL. Achieving and maintaining this independent, nationally recognised level of standards set by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) confirms our commitment to maintaining quality health care and patient safety.
Our practice is eHealth ready and our doctors are trained to assist you in creating and updating your My Health Record (MyHR).
