Welcome To 1Health Medical Centre
Finding a trusted family doctor shouldn't mean sitting in crowded waiting rooms for hours. We founded 1Health Wigram to ditch "conveyor belt" medicine and bring thorough, unhurried healthcare back to our community.

Choosing Your Consultation Length
To give your doctor dedicated time to listen and ensure our daily clinics run strictly to schedule, our GP consultations are structured by duration:
Standard Consultation (13 Mins)
Designed for one primary medical issue, an ongoing prescription review, a blood pressure check, or assessing 1 to 3 specific skin spots.
Double Consultation (26 Mins)
Required if you have multiple medical concerns, complex ongoing health conditions, a driver licence medical, or require a comprehensive Full Body Skin Check.
