Gordon Valley Medical Service

The Lanyon Valley Medical Centre has been dedicated to providing high-quality, continuous medical care to the residents of Lanyon Valley and the South Tuggeranong region since 1993. The practice combines modern general medicine with the traditional values of family care, fostering a partnership approach where patients are actively involved in making decisions about their healthcare. Fully accredited under the Royal Australian College of General Practice Standards, the centre ensures excellence in patient care. The practice offers an extensive range of services to address the diverse needs of the community. These include adolescent health, antenatal and postnatal care, child health checks, chronic disease management, and counselling. Comprehensive health assessments are available, such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) health checks, heart health assessments, and age-specific evaluations for patients aged 45–49 and over 75, all of which are bulk-billed. Specialised services include asthma and diabetes care, lung function screening, family planning (including Implanon procedures), fracture treatment, skin cancer checks, minor surgical procedures, and mental health plans. The centre also provides women’s health services, including cervical screening, breast exams, and menopause advice, as well as men’s health checks. Travel medicine advice, immunisations, smoking cessation support, and wound care are part of the preventative care offerings. Additional services include routine medical examinations, drivers’ licence and pre-employment medicals for existing patients, sexual health screening, and cryotherapy, available on Tuesdays and Fridays. The practice accommodates walk-in patients based on doctor availability and prioritises medical emergencies. Home visits may be arranged under exceptional circumstances for patients unable to travel to the clinic, depending on doctor availability. Patients can also opt into recall and reminder systems for routine screenings and health checks. With a focus on compassionate and comprehensive care, the Lanyon Valley Medical Centre continues to serve its community with dedication and excellence.
