Geelong’s first choice for GP care

Choose Belmont Family Medical and Bulkbilling Clinic (BFMC) as your first choice for medical care, with a newly expanded team ready to support you.

Principal general practitioner Dr Mathew Hargreaves and the clinic’s existing team of doctors, including Tristan Crowe, Loke Ho, Gaya Ekanayake, Mun Yoong and Lew Morris, are excited to welcome four new doctors to the team.

Permanent part-time doctors Tim Blake and Caroline Taylor-Walker, along with temporary doctors Vijay Ng and Monique Couch, will now offer their special care to patients through the clinic.

Following the bulk billing changes in November, BFMC are now pleased to provide a fully bulk billing alternative to Geelong and surrounding families.

Patients with current eligible medicare care cards will not pay anything for quality medical care, and with a neighbouring pharmacy, pathology and imaging; BFMC is your first call for all your medical needs.

The fully accredited practice offers a comprehensive range of medical services, including preventive health management, childhood vaccinations, and prescription management.

The clinic offers services for emergencies, injuries, minor surgical procedures, skin checks, suturing, vaccines, pap smears, flu vaccines, ECG, plasters and ear lavage.

The staff can also assist with patient concerns in relation to family health, acute care, chronic disease, skin cancer, laceration, and mental health.

BFMC is a strictly walk-in clinic and does not make appointments, so patients need to present to the clinic for an on-the-day appointment.

Patients will then be triaged by staff and added to the line of patients waiting, and, whilst it is impossible to predict wait times, the increased number of doctors in the clinic will help reduce wait times.

BFMC also offers a service where people can leave the clinic and receive a text message when it is almost their turn to see a medical professional, which patients love.

BFMC is open every day (excluding Christmas Day and Easter Sunday) and offers long hours of 7am to 6pm from Mondays to Fridays and 7.30am to 1.30pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

New patients are welcome to experience excellent service and care at the clinic’s 141 High Street Belmont location, which also offers free onsite parking.

Start your journey towards better care today by visiting the clinic in person, online at belmontbulkbillingclinic.com.au or by calling 03 5241 3000 for more information.
