Our Practice opened on 2nd January 1980 in the current Bega location and was known as the Church Street Surgery. As the Practice has grown, we have taken over more of the building, initially the former Sheriff's Office next door for Reception and waiting rooms, and then in 2013 the former Goose Cafe at the front, which allowed us to do a major refit of the whole Surgery.
The Tathra Surgery opened in 1982. As the Practice expanded, we relocated first to a cottage in Pacific Street in 1987 and then to the current location at 78 Bega Street in 1996.
Computers were introduced progressively from 1999, initially for accounting purposes, followed by electronic prescriptions, appointments and medical records until the paper record was finally discontinued in 2013. Telehealth consultations were introduced around this time to offer more specialist services to our patients locally and continue to be used more frequently, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
