Fully bulk billing practice · for eligible servicesOpening & location
Wallan Doctors is scheduled to open in April 2027. We will confirm the exact opening date, our phone number and opening hours on this website, and we will email everyone on our register-your-interest list first.
Wallan Doctors will be located in Wallara Waters, on the south-east side of Wallan, Victoria 3756, serving Wallan and surrounding communities such as Wallan East, Kilmore, Beveridge, Wandong and Heathcote Junction. Our full address will be announced closer to opening.

Parking and accessibility details, including step-free access, will be confirmed when we announce our full address before opening.

Once you have had your first appointment with us, we can help you request a transfer of your records from your previous practice. This usually involves signing a consent form, which we will provide.

No. You do not need a referral to see a GP. Your GP can refer you to other health professionals, such as specialists, psychologists or allied health providers, when needed.
Fees & billing
Yes. Wallan Doctors will be a fully bulk billing practice for eligible services. Eligible Medicare services will be bulk billed for patients with a valid Medicare card, so there will be no gap to pay for those services. A small number of services that are not covered by Medicare may carry a cost, and we will always tell you before your appointment.
Bulk billing applies to eligible services covered by Medicare. Things Medicare does not cover — such as some travel vaccines (the vaccine itself), pre-employment, insurance or licence medicals, and appointments for people without a valid Medicare card — may carry a cost. We will always explain any cost before your appointment.
Yes. Bulk billing applies to patients with a valid Medicare card (or DVA card) for eligible services. If you are not eligible for Medicare, for example an overseas visitor, a fee will apply and we will tell you before your appointment.
Please bring your Medicare card, any concession or DVA cards, a list of your current medicines, and any recent test results or letters from other doctors. This helps your GP understand your health history.
Services
We will offer a full range of general practice services, including GP consultations, children's health, women's health, immunisations, preventive health checks, family planning and pregnancy care, heart and lung health, chronic disease care, skin checks, mental health support, minor procedures and pathology services.
We plan to offer pathology services, with a collection service at the clinic. The pathology provider and collection hours will be confirmed before we open.
Yes. Skin checks will be one of our core services, including mole and spot assessments, biopsies where needed, and treatment of suitable skin lesions.
Yes. Our GPs will provide mental health assessments, GP Mental Health Treatment Plans and ongoing support, and can refer you to psychologists and other services. If you are in crisis, call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
