Last night we celebrated our 5 year birthday at our Urgent Care Centre!

We also officially opened our new consulting rooms, and we were grateful to be joined by many dignitaries including Premier Jeremy Rockliff, Deputy Premier Guy Barnett, Education Minister Jo Palmer MLC, and Rob Fairs MP.

We were also humbled by the attendance of our specialist medical colleagues, along with our nursing, emergency services, radiology and pathology friends who’ve all supported us over so many years.

What started out as an idea between a few people to provide an alternative model of acute care in Launceston has turned into a permanent fixture in the Launceston health landscape, and we’ll continue to strive to provide the highest quality urgent medical care available in Tasmania.

Thank you to the community for your ongoing support.

We love any excuse to dress up especially when it’s for a cause this meaningful.
