Arkaba Medical Centre

It is our pleasure to welcome you and your family to the Arkaba Medical Centre – a modern, fully accredited practice dedicated to a high standard of professional, comprehensive care for you, your family and the community.

The Arkaba Medical Centre was established by the amalgamation of Fullarton Family Practice and
Glenunga Clinic, in July 2004, to build upon the high standard of care of the existing practices, and to offer our patients a more comprehensive range of general practice services. The practice is committed to providing a high level of continuing quality health care to its patients. As part of this commitment, the practice provides extended opening hours, longer appointments for more complex problems, home visits and visits to nursing homes. In addition, Doctors at the practice have admitting rights to a number of local private hospitals.

Arkaba Medical Centre’s General Practitioners are all vocationally registered, and committed to ongoing education. We pride ourselves on our team effort, commitment to quality health care and service, support, communication and confidentiality.
