New updates:Telehealth no longer bulk billed

Please note the following change to Saturdays at Uraidla Family Practice:

In order for our small group of dedicated GPs to have a healthy work/life balance the difficult decision has been made to close the practice on Saturday mornings from January 2024.

We appreciate that this may cause some inconvenience to our community and offer the following suggestions if you need a doctor before Monday:

  • Life threatening illness or injury always call 000
  • 13SICK National Home Doctor call 137 425
  • Total Urgent Care walk in clinic – Norwood- call 7095 3435
  • Present at your nearest emergency room if urgent
  • For children – Child and Adolescent Virtual Urgent Care – run by the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and accessed via the internet
  • For urgent mental health assistance Urgent Mental Health Care Centre 215 Grenfell Street Adelaide – call 8448 9100

This is in no way a permanent decision and may change in the future.

Uraidla Family Practice is a true family practice situated in the beautiful Adelaide Hills amongst the vineyards, cherry orchards and apple orchards.

Just 15 minutes up from the eastern suburbs and twenty minutes from Mt Barker and Littlehampton, the practice offers same day appointments and quality family medical care.

As medical care becomes less personal in larger clinics with many doctors, there is a lot to be said for a traditional medical practice where you are known by the doctors and practice staff. Not only do the doctors know your medical history, they know your personality and how you manage your health. It is very easy to then recognise something out of the ordinary. The result is an early diagnosis of any problems.

At Uraidla Family Practice the determination is to keep the values of traditional family medicine alive in a welcoming, friendly environment.

All our doctors, nurses and staff are committed to a family based practice and offer services to the highest order.
