A fresh, friendly and modern Medical Centre in Bentleigh East, Melbourne. Medical practice has undergone a transformation in the last decade.
Eastbound Clinic is a group general medical practice located in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne, approximately 20 kilometres from the City. Once it was sufficient to practice from a few rooms in a converted house, without the use of computers, with minimally trained staff and with very basic facilities. Today, a medical practice must ensure it meets stringent quality control standards, have highly skilled medical staff, business managers, receptionists and nurses. It must also utilise the resources of the latest knowledge in information technology and provide facilities that meet the needs of both patients and practitioner. In July 2005, after 3 years of careful planning, one of the best equipped, modern medical practices was built. The excellent facilities were further enhanced by the completion in 2013 of additional training rooms, a larger meeting room, waiting room as well as a larger staff kitchen to accommodate our growing staff. Welcome to the New Eastbound Clinic and the future of successful General Practice. Our GPs range in age from the 70s to the mid-20s. They share a broad range of experience and interests including Sports Medicine, Mental Health, Management of Chronic Disease including Diabetes, Skin Health, Women’s and Men’s Health, Paediatric and Geriatric Medicine
Our GPs, nurses and staff all enjoy training medical students and nurses and the clinic has alliances with Monash and Melbourne Universities. We are also an accredited training practice for medical registrars with the Victorian Medical Alliance – General Practice Training Program. Eastbound Clinic provides a new standard of excellence in medical practice facilities and care. Excellence in patient comfort, excellence in staff facilities, excellence in treatment room facilities, excellence in computer infrastructure and communications systems, excellence in professional development of all employees, excellence in practice management, and excellence in believing in what we do is worthwhile, and effective and rewarding for all involved.

Every 9 minutes, 1 Australian suffers a heart attack.
Heart disease often develops quietly, without obvious symptoms. Many people feel well and don’t realise they have risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease.
A heart health check with your GP is a simple way to assess your risk and take steps to protect your heart.
This Red Feb, put your heart first.
Speak with your GP or book in for a heart health check.

After the festive season, it’s easy to feel like things slipped a little off track.
As the new year begins, many of us want to feel healthier and more energised, but knowing where to start can be tricky.
A health check with your GP is a great first step. It helps you understand your current health and identify ways to prevent problems before they start.
You may be eligible for a Medicare-rebated health check, which provides a thorough review of your health.
Speak to your GP about the right health check for you.
Not sure if you’re eligible?
You can still book a standard GP appointment and ask for a general check-up.
We’re welcoming in the new year with our first newsletter of 2026 🎉
In this edition, you can:
- Learn about the different full health checks available and start the year feeling your best
- Meet the newest edition to the Eastbound team - baby Sasha
