Eastbound Clinic is a service entity to support Independent Doctors, owned and operated by two GPs who also consult at Eastbound Clinic: Dr Justine Birchall and Dr Owen Latimer. We recruit and employ high-quality nursing and administration staff and maintain our modern premises to help each doctor provide quality care to their patients.

Our vision is to shape the future of General Practice by blending the best aspects of traditional General Practice with a modern, innovative and knowledge-empowered environment. We work with independent medical practitioners who share this vision. All doctors working at Eastbound Clinic are fellows of the RACGP (Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners) and are Specialist Family Physicians. They maintain their registration by participating in regular education and professional development activities.
