Practice Nurses
Budja Practice Nurses have many years of nursing experience and patient care. More importantly, they have served a wide range of healthcare industries.
Our dedicated nurses work closely with our GPs for all patients at both clinics. They help with emergencies, evaluations, care plans, and treatment, including wound care, ECGs, spirometry, education, and pathology collection at our facilities.
Chronic Disease Nurses
Our Chronic Disease Nurses specialise in merging chronic conditions and patients with complex needs. They work closely with our GP’s and are available at both the Halls Gap and Ararat clinics.
Pathology
Due to our collaboration and support from Dorevitch Pathology, we have our blood collection service. This service is meant for patients who attend our clinic and from referring specialists.
Most tests can be performed in house although some might require going to a pathology lab for collection. Blood collection is available daily for our patients. This service is generally bulk billed, but some tests will incur a fee when requested more than once per year.
