Our Story
Royal Park Medical is owned and operated by GPs who have lived in this community for decades. We bring experience from working at some of the best practices in and around Melbourne.
We recognised the need to bring outstanding and comprehensive primary health care to the community of North Melbourne and surrounds. Believing that ownership by GPs that actually work in the practice is a critical factor in the quality of care that is delivered to patients, new partners have been welcomed to grow our successful team.
