Pakenham Family Health

Pakenham Family Health is the leading Pakenham medical centre, providing quality bulk billed service for individuals and families. Having opened doors in 2010 we have earned the trust of over 30,000 patients through commitment to long term continuity of patient care. Over the years we have steadily grown to become the largest medical centre in Pakenham, attracting quality doctors from nearby areas and farther afield.

Women's Health is a major area of focus at Pakenham Family Health because we believe that women are the backbone of every society. As such they tend to put everyone's needs first, often forgetting to look after themselves and their health, as well as their mental well being. We are here ready to listen, here to guide you and council you, to celebrate wonderful moments in your life and to support you during the difficult times.

At Pakenham Family Health we understand that when it comes to prevention and early detection men's health often takes the back seat. Men are more likely to put off routine checkups and also delay seeing a Doctor for symptoms of a health problem. Working-aged men are less likely to have a regular doctor compared to working-aged women.

Children's health is one of the key areas of care we offer here at Pakenham Family Health. Young children tend to fall sick more often than adults and this is due to the fact that they are building their immune systems. Often, there is no reason to worry, however, we encourage parents to trust their instincts and make an appointment with their GP if they have any concerns.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Psychological issues are common today. It is important to recognise that most people can recover fully, especially when they receive help early. Some may need more time and require ongoing treatment to manage the issues they are experiencing.

If you are experiencing issues or concerns about your mental wellbeing, you might be eligible for a Mental Health Plan (MHP) which can help you get appropriate support and treatment.MHP helps you to access eligible allied health professionals like psychologists, social workers or occupational therapists who can help you to get better.
