Emerald Medical Group is part of Central Highlands Healthcare.

​

​Emerald Medical Group is a mixed billing medical practice dedicated to meeting the needs of the local community by providing high quality patient-centered healthcare.

​

​Our comprehensive medical practice is staffed by a team of GPs, nurses and administration support who ensure we provide comprehensive care to those who need it most.

​

Additionally, we provide facilities for visiting specialists and allied health professionals including physiotherapists, psychologists, audiologists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists and dieticians. Emerald Medical Group is dedicated to bringing medical services to the region via extending our building. Funded by Country to Coast, QLD, through the Australian Government’s Primary Health Network program, works have commenced on two building wings for a new $2.8M allied health facility, accommodating ten allied health consulting rooms and a large training space for health care practitioners. Emerald Medical Group practice principal Dr Ewen McPhee said the new facility will improve access to physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy, so critical to supporting patients with chronic and complex illnesses, as well as developmental support for children.

​

​Medical training is a core aspect of the Emerald Medical Group. We support a number of registrars in our practice each year. The registrars are studying to achieve their specialist qualifications in General Practice and are supported by experienced senior colleagues. We also provide placements for Interns, Medical and Nursing Students. We believe these educational and professional development opportunities are key to developing our health workforce in rural and remote communities. 

​

​Our values of Quality and Safety First, Healthy Community, Integrity, and Innovation and Change are lived every day by our doctors and staff. These values resonate with our team because they are similar to the aspirations held by the community. Emerald people are unafraid of confronting difficult issues and believe in working together to make our community a better place for all.
