Boroondara Health and Wellness is a Private Billing clinic. appointments of all types are expected to incur an out of pocket expense.

Our Clinic Philosophy


Boroondara Health and Wellness Centre is a locally owned and operated general family practice situated in the heart of the busy shopping precinct of Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn.

Our clinic is committed to providing a high standard of patient care. We are motivated to help our patients achieve wellness, rather than just dealing with episodes of illness. We do this by spending time and listening to patients and working with them to solve their health issues. We recognise the important role that factors like lifestyle, diet and psychological well-being have to play in being healthy.

We are keen to source practitioners of excellence in medical and complementary fields to work together to achieve well being. Drug prescriptions are kept to a minimum, with the emphasis being on facilitating healing via other methods. We maintain high ethical standards and pay very strict attention to privacy and confidentiality issues in this surgery.

The practice again became successfully Accredited in 2023 by AGPAL. This means that our practice satisfies the standards set by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners for excellence in General Practice.
