Medical Services in Port Pirie

At Pirie Medical Centre, our doctors are committed to all individuals and families in this community by providing good general practice care. Our aim is to provide preventative care and health education. As an accredited practice with AGPAL, you can trust us to provide quality services.

We work closely with the Port Pirie Regional Health Service, Community Health and Mental Health Services, physiotherapists, visiting specialists, dentists and many other health service providers. With a strong interest in the health of indigenous and ethnic people, we offer support through a wide range of services as outlined below. 

We aim to provide comprehensive services. Some of them include:

Home visits can be arranged for those too ill to attend the medical centre or for reasons beyond their control. We appreciate an advanced notice in these instances. Our doctors also visit the local nursing homes and hostels on a regular basis. If a patient is too sick to visit the hospital after hours, they can call the hospital’s accident and emergency department and ask to call their own doctor. Our centre can contact doctors with responsibility for any home or nursing home visit.

When Pirie Medical Centre in closed, The Port Pirie Regional Health Service provides after-hours and emergency service through the hospital accident and emergency department.

Should you require the services of an interpreter to be present during your consultation with the doctor, please tell the receptionist when making your appointment and we will arrange one for you.

All of the usual childhood immunisations are offered free to the children of our practice. A small play area and baby changing facilities are also available for parents and their children. 

Pirie Medical Centre has wheelchair access at the main entrance and disabled toilet facilities. Should you require any special arrangements, please discuss your needs with the receptionist or your doctor. A wheelchair is also available on request.
