SURGERY OVERVIEW
Everton Hills Medical Centre is a fully Bulk Billing surgery which has been established for 37 years in the pleasant north Brisbane suburb of Everton Hills. Expanded and refurbished 5 years ago, our medical centre is privately owned and operated and offers a varied patient demographic, from the very young right through to the very old.
Our reputation for good old fashioned, friendly & caring service has earned us the loyalty of several generations of many local families spanning a period of over 40 years. We are a training practice, hosting both students and doctors, as recently as last year.
The surgery is part of a small shopping centre with ample parking most times. The centre includes 2 coffee shops/eateries, bakery, grocery store, travel agency, dentist, pharmacy, podiatrist, physio, two restaurants, bottle store, a fish n chip shop, hairdresser and gift shop and toilet facilities.
Just down the road is a newly opened Child Care Centre. We are also close to Brookside shopping Centre and K-Mart Arana Hills. Only 20 mins to the CBD.

PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS
We have a broad range of patient demographics in Everton Hills. In the last two years we have worked hard in building our younger population as most of our patients were elderly from when the practice was originally established. The practice had not taken new patients for over ten years until our expansion 4 years ago, when we opened our books again. Since then we have been inundated with patients and our demographics now show our largest demographic to be in the 20 to 39 year age bracket.

You can reach rural suburbs such as Samford within 20 minutes and the Sunshine Coast in less than 60 minutes.
CIRCUMSTANCES
Since our expansion 5 years ago, we have gradually added doctors that we felt suitable for our practice and as patient demand required. From late August 2020 we will have a doctor leaving us who now works full time and is seeing 30 plus patients a day. Our appointment book is booked solidly by the end of every day.
