About Our Medical Group
We engage only outstanding medical professionals and highly skilled health care staff to work in our modern and welcoming medical centres.
By providing inspiring and innovative workplaces, as well as the highest standard of administrative service, we support our doctors so they can provide optimal quality care for their patients.
Operating in suburbs of high growth across Melbourne, our GPs, nurses and support staff enjoy a dynamic working environment, delivering the best patient outcomes for our growing patient lists.
Compass Medical Group offers a standard of community healthcare beyond the ordinary with considerable experience in medical centre management, patient-centred care, and staff-centred opportunities.
We grow our medical centre practices in the suburbs where families are most in need of primary health care
“The practice is extremely well run with excellent and responsive managerial, nursing and reception support. GP colleagues are friendly and approachable and ongoing education and as needed case reviews are encouraged and supported. The clinic has a bright and friendly atmosphere and I feel well remunerated for my time and effort.”
We take care of our teams so that they can take care of our patients
We attract and retain high calibre medical and administration professionals, looking after our team, so that our team will be more equipped and empowered to look after our patients.
One of the things which sets us aside from other medical work places is our light-hearted approach to what can sometimes be serious business. Our team help our patients to feel relaxed, and encourage fellow colleagues to approach the work day with a sense of camaraderie.
We are a team who appreciates and puts each other and our patients at ease.
We provide facilities, equipment and administrative and nursing support that helps to make the work place, and the work day enjoyable.
Our team enjoys working in a welcoming contemporary space, supported by integrated IT and administrative systems, have access to equipment and facilities that is a pleasure to use, and are encouraged to contribute to a vibrant and growing medical clinic
