Dear patients,

The Kotara Family Practice is joining the Ochre Health network, opening on Monday the 14th of April as Ochre Medical Centre Kotara.

How will this affect you?

Not much. There will be no changes to our current doctors, our staff, our operating hours, our phone number or our billing policy. We will continue to focus on providing high quality care and improving the health of our local community - simply as part of a larger group with the same goals and the capability to provide us with excellent support. We look forward to continuing to serve you with a wide range of medical services!
