About Us
Welcome to the Benalla Church Street Surgery Pty Ltd
We are a long-established, quintessential country town general practice. The practice is non bulk-billing, digitalised and AGPAL accredited. We are also a registered teaching practice with the RACGP, ACCRM, University of Melbourne, and the RACGP And ACCRM registrar training programs. We have been providing general practice and many other essential services to residents and visitors of Benalla for over fifty years. The practice is situated in a beautiful old Victorian building which has been extensively refurbished and equipped for rural general practice. All of our GP’s are vocationally registered and have a commitment to providing quality general practice and to continuing medical education. We have a range of other services available including diabetes education, counselling, immunisation clinics and chronic disease management. Benalla is a small rural town with a population of about 15 000, situated on Lake Benalla, home to the impressive Benalla Art Gallery, and known as the regional street art capital of Victoria. We are a two hour drive from Melbourne on the Hume Freeway, and close to the King Valley food and wine region and the Victorian snowfields. Benalla Health is our local 35 bed hospital, our GP’s are all credentialed Visiting Medical Officers and provide all medical cover for the hospital. There are no salaried hospital doctors and no specialists resident in the town. Specialists visit from other towns to provide specialist medical care during the week. All of our GP’s participate in the after hours Town Doctor roster.
