The Doctors’ Health SA Outreach Visit has been supported with funding from the County SA PHN to deliver check-ups to rural doctors across rural locations in South Australia. 

Doctors’ health services know that geographical isolation is one barrier that prevents rural and remote doctors from accessing independent medical care and we are seeking to address this by funding an Outreach Visit to Mt Gambier.

Offering GP visits is a way for doctors to access timely medical care for themselves. This initiative aims to directly support the health of rural and remote doctors working across SA and we are fortunate to have a team of experienced GPs who are keen to offer the service to their colleagues. 

It is a grant-funded, private medical consultation between you and your visiting treating doctor. It consists of a history and examination and other investigations, if required. It is a thorough assessment of your current health and can last up to 2 hours if necessary. It is an opportunity to confidentially discuss any concerns you may have in a private setting. The consultations will be conducted by Dr Lorenzo Ponte at the Hawkins@Pinehall Clinic, 10-12 Pinehall Avenue, Suttontown, Mount Gambier on Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 February 2026. The aim is to assess your current health and work out a treatment plan with your visiting doctor.
