Background

Our clinic is an association of independent General Practitioners who consult from two suites within the same building at 195 Whitehorse Road. Patients are welcome to see our GPs at either or both of:

Suite 5—Blackburn Clinic             and
Suite 2– Blackburn Specialist Centre.

Our services, fees, policies and procedures apply to both suites. Both sites have secure access to our patient clinical data and share the same system for patient appointments. The following GPs consult at Blackburn Specialist Centre:

  • Dr Andrew Broad
  • Dr Peter Elliott
  • Dr Yeganeh Khavar
  • Dr Terence Ting
  • Dr Prabaharan Ratnarajah.

These GPs consult at Blackburn Clinic when the Blackburn Specialist Centre is closed. To make an appointment with any of our GPS please use the Book Appointment Online button or phone 03 9875 1123.

When the Clinic is closed, please call our main clinic number (03 9875 1111) and your call will automatically be transferred to the After Hours GP Clinic at 36 Wellington Rd, Box Hill (phone 9899 9980).  Alternatively you can phone our Locum Service on 13 74 25, who will triage your call and advise you of a course of action, or you can attend the Emergency Departments of Box Hill, Maroondah, or Knox Private Hospitals.

In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, ALL ONLINE BOOKINGS ARE NOW TELEHEALTH CONSULTATIONS.

Bookings made online or with our receptionists will be an appointment time with a GP, who will call you and assess your concern over the telephone.  There may be a charge for telehealth consultations, Concession card holders will be bulk billed.  This call may come from a private/unknown number.  Please answer your phone if it rings near your scheduled appointment time.

If the doctor decides that an examination is required, a subsequent appointment will be arranged for you to attend the Clinic.

This is necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, keep you safe and keep the Clinic open.

For vaccinations (eg. flu) phone us on 9875 1123 to arrange an appointment.
