About Westcare Family Medical Centre
Welcome to Westcare Family Medical Centre, a trusted institution providing outstanding medical care in Melton since 1989. Located at Barries Road, 211 in Melton West, Australia, we are dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our community.
As a fully accredited general practice, our highly trained and passionate GPs offer a complete range of medical services. From general consultations to immunizations and referrals, our GPs are committed to providing high-quality healthcare to our patients.
At Westcare Family Medical Centre, we prioritize the wellbeing of our community. Our GPs privately bill, ensuring our viability and enabling us to continue delivering exceptional healthcare services. We are also a training practice for GP registrars, and your support of this initiative helps us maintain a high standard of care.
Our team consists of friendly receptionists and experienced nurses who work alongside our GPs to provide comprehensive medical care. We value the importance of a supportive and compassionate environment for our patients.
In addition to our medical services, we believe in promoting health awareness. We provide information on various health conditions, including diabetes, skin cancer, flu prevention, and more. Our goal is to educate and empower our patients to take control of their health and make informed decisions.
As part of our commitment to the community, we support Australia's national R U OK? campaign. This campaign encourages meaningful connections and regular check-ins with loved ones to prevent little problems from turning into big ones.
We understand the importance of early detection and prevention, particularly when it comes to skin cancer. With non-melanoma skin cancer being the most common cancer in the world, we emphasize the significance of regular check-ups and early intervention.
Flu prevention is another area of focus for us. The flu is a highly contagious respiratory illness, and annual flu vaccination and good hygiene practices are crucial in avoiding its spread. If you do experience flu-like symptoms, our medical professionals are here to assist you.
Living in Australia, we acknowledge the risk of sunburn and the potential long-term effects it can have on your health. We urge everyone to take adequate sun protection measures to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
For individuals with asthma, we understand the additional challenges burn-offs and fires can pose. We encourage you to be mindful of your triggers and seek appropriate support and resources to manage stress and anxiety.
For your convenience, we provide additional resources such as Health Translations, a free online library of high-quality translated Australian health and wellbeing information. This resource is designed for health practitioners and individuals working with culturally diverse communities.
In case of a medical emergency, please call 000 and ask for an ambulance. Our closest hospital is Sunshine Hospital, located at 176 Furlong Road, St Albans. For out-of-hours medical services, you can contact Doctor Doctor on 13 26 60 or visit their website. For out-of-hours medical advice, the After Hours GP Helpline is available at 1800 022 222.
This year, we offer a choice between egg-based or cell-based vaccines for the flu. If you're unsure which vaccine is suitable for you, please discuss it with your GP or nurse during your appointment. For more information on this year's flu vaccines, please visit our website.
We are also pleased to announce that we now offer the Moderna bivalent COVID-19 vaccination for individuals over 18. Please book your appointment through our website.
At Westcare Family Medical Centre, your health and wellbeing are our top priorities. We are committed to providing exceptional medical care and supporting our community in achieving optimal health. Contact us today for all your healthcare needs.

Reviews of Westcare Family Medical Centre
"A very dedicated team of exceptional doctors! Today I saw an unfamiliar doctor who fairly recently joined the team as I required repeat medications. She was absolutely lovely and thoroughly investigated each of my medications, recent tests and those which were needed in the future. She also recommended a repeat of a scan as a follow up because of one of these medications. As I let the practice I received a msg to inform me that my doctor had already sent through a referral for the scan! Why would you go elsewhere with this professional service available at Westcare irregardless of which doctor you see???"
"Admin staff are very friendly and professional. My GP is a godsend. She explains things thoroughly and is easy to talk to. I'm very happy that I chose Westcare."
"Westcare Family Medical Centre is my preferred Medical Centre. I enjoy the friendly Appointment process through Phone or convenience of the Online option. I appreciate the personal attention if I cannot get an appointment due to short notice, the Reception Staff have never failed to fit me in. Thank You Westcare. Keep up the good work."
"Dr Kate Matthews is brilliant! Excellent communication, treatment and check ins. Responsive via emails after appointments too. Went to her with an issue and excellent explanations and investigations. I will not see any other GP, finally found a GP who listens and is willing to follow up issues! Beyond grateful for her service!!"
"Dr Tina Shattock is the first doctor I have been to that listens, treats me like a human and genuinely cares. The reception staff are always pleasant and extremely helpful. Westcare is the best doctors clinic I've ever attended. Thanks guys."
