The Chinchilla Medical Practice moved to its present location within the Chinchilla Medical Centre opposite the water tower in May 1991, and expanded from 5 to 9 doctor’s rooms in November 2009. The Church previously on the site was retained in the modern architect-designed Medical Centre, which also includes Chinchilla Pharmacy, Physiotherapy and Sullivan and Nicoladies blood collection rooms.
The Chinchilla Medical Practice complies with the requirements of the Royal College of General Practitioners Standards for General Practices 4th Edition. Current Accreditation status is displayed in the waiting/reception area.
