Year established
Doctor Shareholders
Better Medical is now a leading operator of high-quality general practices across South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania.
We proudly offer management services and facilities for doctors and other healthcare professionals and passionately believe that primary care needs to be locally focused. That is why our group of practices are locally managed, regionally connected, and centrally supported.
But the truly important factor is our people. Better Medical has more than 500+ general practitioners practising at our clinics, nine doctor-owners, and some 800+ support staff.
We recognise our clinics have served and grown as part of a community, building unique local knowledge, high levels of trust, an established brand identity, and skilled, devoted staff. We respect, protect, and enhance this legacy, ensuring that the local identity and clinic culture remains the same.
Our mission is simple – We create supportive environments, foster continuous improvement, and enable healthcare professionals to thrive while delivering high-quality care.
As a doctor-led organisation, Better Medical has GP representation and clinical governance at all levels. We thank our Clinical Leadership team.
Better Medical’s practices are supported by a centralised Executive Leadership team.

Commercial Manager
Better Medical is supported by a growing number of shareholders, including doctors, staff, management, and other financial investors. We recognise and thank our shareholder doctors for their contribution and partnership.
A strong and collaborative clinical governance framework is at the heart of our commitment to quality care. We ensure patient safety and clinical excellence through transparent structures, continuous improvement, and shared leadership.
Our Safety Committee includes GP representation, ensuring that frontline clinical perspectives are embedded in every safety decision. In addition, our state-based, doctor-led Clinical Councils meet regularly to advise management on operational and clinical support matters to benefit Better Medical’s service delivery to GPs and their patients. These councils play a key role in promoting a positive culture and shaping doctor education and training.
We also embrace new technologies and innovations, working closely with clinicians to ensure any change is safe, effective, and meaningful. This collaborative approach empowers GPs and supports the delivery of high-quality care across all our practices.
“Having worked at single sites, I was apprehensive our autonomy and practice ethos would be compromised in a larger group. I was wrong! It’s fantastic to be part of a broader network, sharing resources and best practice. We have the freedom to excel in our areas of expertise with professional support in the background. More importantly, we retain clinical autonomy and our unique identity. It’s win-win!”
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Better Medical and can testify their professionalism and support for their GPs is incredible. If you’re interested in relocating and working in Australia, if you’re interested in making a choice for the better and simply provide better medical care, then speak with Better Medical. From the first moments of your imagination to seeing your first patient, they will support you every step of the way!”
“Our partnership with Better Medical has been fantastic – there’s been very little change at all in the feel and running of the practice and we’ve had positive feedback from staff and patients alike.”
“Better Medical have been very fair and have continued to display good integrity – and that’s very hard to find in the corporate world. They really haven’t interfered with the day-to-day running of the clinic but have been there to provide a backup plan, more resources and a network that we can rely on.”
