Medical centre snapshot

Family Health Care Mackay Walkerston was established in 2011 and is a mixed billing, AGPAL-accredited clinic currently open five days. The clinic is modern with a calming, county vibe and modern fit-out, offering up to nine spacious GP consulting rooms. Situated opposite a busy primary school and on the main street of the Walkerston township, the clinic has a wonderful reputation with local patients who have built strong ties with the current long-serving team members over the years.

The location

Commonly known as the Mackay-Whitsunday Region, the Mackay area is home to approximately 120,000 residents. It is well-known for its relaxed “country meets coast” lifestyle, sugar cane fields, and friendly, down-to-earth locals. Enjoy the cooling sea breezes from this north Mackay suburb around 12 kilometres from the CBD and a short drive to the popular northern beaches suburbs of Bucasia and Dolphin Heads.

Rural View is a newer suburb with modern housing and is home to many young families, making it ideal for settling long-term or raising a family. It has a busy neighbourhood centre, kindergarten, retirement village and recreational spaces that will see Rural View remain a key link between the northern beaches and the CBD. It also focuses on "family-friendly" and provides bike trails, walking tracks, and children's playgrounds in its green spaces.
