Meet our Busselton healthcare team and learn how we provide personalised, inclusive general practice care.
OUR APPROACH
Care built on understanding.
Saltwater Clinic is a modern boutique general practice in Busselton, focused on delivering personalised, inclusive healthcare. We created Saltwater Clinic to be a safe and welcoming environment where patients can access expert medical care while feeling comfortable, respected and understood. Alongside general practice care, our areas of focus include youth health, neurodiversity and ADHD, sexual health (including HIV and hepatitis care), mental health, alcohol and other drug use, and LGBTQIA+ health (including gender-affirming care). We welcome people of all ages. We believe healthcare should never feel rushed. By offering extended consultations and a continuity-of-care model, we build meaningful relationships that support better health outcomes over time.
Inspired by the restorative nature of the South West coastline, our clinic combines expert medical care with a warm, human approach to wellbeing.
