Find a family doctor or nurse practitioner

If you need a primary care provider, register on the Health Connect Registry to get matched with a family doctor or nurse practitioner in your community. At this time, we cannot offer a specific timeframe for attachment. Access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner in Victoria is limited by the number of providers with capacity to accept new patients.

We are actively recruiting family doctors and nurse practitioners to the region. While we work on solutions to ensure everyone has access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner, we appreciate your patience.

Registering with the Health Connect Registry helps highlight the number of people currently without a provider which informs current primary care planning.
