Northside Clinic is a independent and private general practice owned by GP’s in Melbourne.
At Northside Clinic we believe in the “healthy body, healthy mind” philosophy, and actively encourage regular exercise for the associated health benefits. While we proudly serve the LGBTIQ community for all of their health needs, we also have doctors and osteopaths who have a keen interest in sports medicine, for any of those badminton-related injuries.
