Finding Care

Local Health Care makes it easy to find healthcare providers near you — whether you need a GP, specialist, dentist, or allied health service. Search by suburb or postcode, filter results to match your needs, and book directly from a clinic's profile.

Ways to find care

• Searching for Clinics — Search by suburb, postcode, or clinic name. Filter by bulk billing, open hours, accepting new patients, or service type. Switch to map view to see locations.
• Searching for Doctors — Find a doctor by name or browse by specialty. View profiles with bio, languages spoken, and available slots.
• Reading Clinic Profiles — Understand what's on a clinic page — hours, services, ratings, bulk billing, accepted health funds, and how to book or report an issue.
• Saving Favourites — Star a clinic or doctor to find them instantly in future. Favourites are also prioritised when you send price quote requests.
• Nearby Services — Discover providers close to your home address from the Nearby tab in your dashboard.
