LEONGATHA | Care access update
We have been made aware that the Leongatha Healthcare Group general practice clinic has closed. We understand this news may be unsettling for our community.
While the clinic is not part of our health service and we do not have further information about its closure or future arrangements, we want to reassure the community that Leongatha Memorial Hospital remains fully open and all hospital services are continuing as normal.
Maternity, urgent care, and surgical services at Leongatha Memorial Hospital are operating as usual, with additional staffing in place to meet community needs.
Our Midwives and General Practitioner Obstetricians — the doctors you already know and see at Leongatha Memorial Hospital — continue to work at the hospital and are available to provide all antenatal, birthing, and postnatal care.
If you are booked to have your baby at Leongatha Memorial Hospital, your care and booking remain unchanged. Antenatal appointments with doctors will be undertaken at the hospital, we will contact you to arrange.
For pregnant women who were previously receiving antenatal care through the Leongatha Healthcare Group clinic and are seeking advice about maternity care options, our maternity team is available to provide information and support if needed.
📞 Maternity Services: (03) 5667 5556
Our team is currently receiving a high number of calls. If we are unable to speak with you straight away, we will take your details and ensure a member of the maternity team contacts you as soon as possible.
You are safe to continue all of your pregnancy care with us.
We remain committed to supporting expectant parents and families in our community and will continue to share updates as more information becomes available.
