Our offerings
General Practice
Life Medical Mullumbimby is a fully accredited, integrated practice providing exceptional primary healthcare to the community. Our GPs are caring, compassionate and experienced in the care of both adults and children. Our approach is grounded in the best of conventional medicine and informed by Lifestyle Medicine to manage acute, chronic and complex conditions.
Lifestyle Medicine
We recognise that the cause of many chronic health conditions can be found in modern life. Lifestyle Medicine is an effective approach to managing these conditions because it incorporates a โcommon senseโ approach as the foundation of good health; this ethos is at the heart of everything we do. At Life Medicine Mullumbimby, we empower patients to make lifestyle modifications that treat the underlying causes as part of an effective, sustainable care plan.
Allied Health
Sometimes the best health outcomes are achieved by accessing a multi-disciplinary team of allied health professionals to create a personalised treatment plan. University-qualified practitioners deliver health services to prevent, diagnose, manage and treat conditions or illnesses, making them a natural fit for our โwhole personโ ethos at Life Medical Mullumbimby. Our doctors work closely with Allied Health practitioners to help manage those with existing ailments and those who are otherwise well but want to optimise their health and fitness. We have an Exercise Physiologist and Osteopath onsite, and a Dietician joining our team soon.
Some patients may be eligible for a GP Management Plan to help manage an ongoing condition. Make an appointment with your doctor to find out if you are eligible.
