  • 01

    One team, three towns

    The same doctors run our Balaklava, Port Wakefield and Auburn clinics, and every booking goes through one number: (08) 8862 1444.

  • 02

    Clinic and hospital, side by side

    Several doctors at the clinic also work at Balaklava Hospital, including after-hours, surgical and anaesthetic care. If you ever need the hospital, the doctor looking after you there may already know your history.

  • 03

    Looked after between visits

    The practice nurses help with care plans, regular reviews and reminders, so a long-term condition isn't left until the next time something goes wrong.

  • 04

    Training country doctors

    We're a teaching practice. Registrars, qualified doctors training in general practice, work alongside our senior GPs. It's one way we help grow the next generation of rural GPs.

03Our story

Right next door to the hospital

Our clinic sits on War Memorial Drive, beside the Balaklava Soldiers' Memorial District Hospital, so everyday appointments and 24-hour emergency care happen on the same campus. Over the years we've added visiting clinics in Auburn and Port Wakefield, so the doctors travel to you rather than you always travelling to Balaklava.

  • 1921Balaklava's first hospital opens on the War Memorial Drive site.
  • 1975The rebuilt hospital opens next door to the clinic on 14 December.
  • TodayOne practice across three towns: Balaklava, the Auburn RSL Hall and Burra Street, Port Wakefield.
