Manjimup Medical Centre

19/02/2026

What an inspiration it is! Thank you, Dr. John Rosser Davies, for your extraordinary 50 years of dedicated service to the rural communities of Western Australia. Team Manjimup Medical Centre would like to sincerely thank Rural Health West for recognizing his remarkable commitment and contributions at this Year's WA Rural Health Long Service Award.

At this year’s WA Rural Health Long Service Awards, we proudly recognised Dr John Rosser Davies for an extraordinary 50 years of service to rural Western Australia.

When John arrived in Manjimup in 1978, it was meant to be temporary. Instead, it became a lifetime of care.

Over five decades, he has delivered more than 1,000 babies, supported generations of families and pioneered home-based palliative care in his community. He remains the only rural doctor in WA to have provided anaesthetic, obstetric and surgical services concurrently.

Fifty years of dedication to one town is more than service, it’s legacy.

Please join us in celebrating this remarkable milestone.

Meet our Local Legend, Dr. Davies!
Thank you to ABC Southwest for exclusively covering the story of Dr. Davies's contribution to the community.
And our team would like to express our heartfelt thank you to our community members for the love and support that keeps our legend shining.

Meet this week's Local Legend🏆

In 1978, Dr John Rosser Davies turned up in Manjimup as a temporary locum but had no idea that his connection to Manjimup would last a lifetime. Next month he'll be recognised for 50 years of service.

Dr Davies told Stan Shaw on ABC South West Breakfast when he arrived in Manjimup the region had a thriving timber industry with lots of young people starting families.

“It was a lovely town and serviced six active timber towns, full of young people working physically, having babies and injuring themselves," he said.

“Manjimup was really humming – we were in the theatre quite often doing anaesthetic operations, emergency work plus the office GP.”

Despite the challenges of the early days, he stayed and fell in love with the region and has built an impressive resume.

Dr Davies is recognised as the only rural doctor in WA to have provided surgical, anaesthetic, and obstetric services concurrently.

In 2024, he was awarded 'GP of the Year' at the WA Rural Health Excellence Awards.

Not only did he deliver many babies in the region, Dr Davies was also recognised for pioneering home-based palliative care long before it became widely recognised in Australia.

As Manjimup's only obstetrician for 19 years, he's delivered close to 1500 babies, often later caring for those same children as adults and sometimes delivering their children too.

“I think we started delivering babies of babies back in about the late 1990s and that’s a very nice experience.”
