Introduction

We care about doctors providing the best possible care that they can, and we have been striving to provide them with the support needed so that they can provide comprehensive and high-quality aged care services to the South Brisbane community. The doctors do their best to tailor their practice to suit the residents’ and facilities’ preferences.

Who we are?

We have a strong and experienced team to care for you.

South Brisbane Aged Care Services, based from Star Medical Centre, is one of the biggest service providers to GPs who provide Aged Care Facilities in Brisbane. We specialize in supporting Aged Care GPs. The areas of practice these GPs cover are aged care facilities, assistant care and retirement villages. We are growing healthily and doing our best to support the GPs in providing the best possible care for our communities. Our principles: passion, cooperation, quality of services, and a holistic approach.

The experienced GPs are strongly passionate about caring for elders and are supported by full-time practice nurses in every clinic. We are confident about how to care for the residents, how to communicate with the residents’ families and how to make the facilities staff life easier.

What services we provide?

We provide a comprehensive range of services which are tailored to the needs of aged care.
  • Individualized regular clinics: clinics in facilities are conducted by discussing with facilities management and clinic staff in term of day and time. Your doctors understand the importance of flexibility, efficiency, effectiveness and cooperation between different teams.
  • Minor procedures: most procedures may be provided on site in facilities (which depend on the facilities setting and policy), including biopsy, skin cancers excisions, other skin lesion excisions, toe nail removal, ear syringe, cryotherapy, ECG and ABI etc.
  • Practice nurse services: ECG, ABI and some other services can be done by our practice nurses and organized through your doctors.
  • A multidisciplinary approach: your doctors work closely with other allied health professionals such as physiotherapists, dietitians, speech therapists, pharmacists, psychologists, mental health nurses, podiatrists, audiologists, and optometrists, and also work closely with hospital and community palliative care teams, dementia outreach teams, and elderly mental health teams.
