Balwyn Health Care’s History
How It All Started
The Balwyn Health Care clinic has been supporting independent doctors since 1986, when it first opened at a site opposite Coles on the corner of Kilby and Burke Roads.
Move to Belmore Road
As the practice grew, it became clear that a larger site was needed. In 1991, the clinic relocated to its current location on Belmore Road, offering significantly more car parking and a light, spacious waiting room. The clinic was completely rebuilt in 2012 to meet modern healthcare standards.

Growing Medical Team
Dr Mary-Anne Lancaster joined the clinic in 1991 and quickly developed a significant patient base. Over the years, more independent doctors have joined the practice.
In April 2013, the doctors of Kilby Heights Medical Centre (Doctors Savvas, Kondopoulos and Cocotis) moved to this site. In October 2024, Drs Edward Tsui and Jane Froster from The Clinic Bulleen also commenced practice at Belmore Road. Drs. Lok, Norton, Tan and Singh have also relocated their practices to 4 Belmore Rd.
The Team Today
Today, the clinic has over 20 personnel, including:
Reception Team: Kitsa, Gina, Ava, Lindy, Val, Vasso and Kellie

Practice Aim
The independent doctors at Balwyn Health Care aim to provide high quality, thorough, comprehensive, holistic and caring consultations for each and every patient. Consultation costs are kept affordable for all sections of the community.
Focus on Prevention
All doctors and nurses focus heavily on preventative health issues, so follow-up care is an important feature of their service. Patients seeking management through medication only will find their aim is to minimise the use of drugs where possible.
Empowering Patients
The doctors aim to help patients focus on assuming responsibility for their own health decisions and make lifestyle improvements where possible.
