Access to reliable healthcare should be simple, consistent, and designed around the needs of the whole family. At Australian Rural Medical Services (AusRMS), comprehensive family care under one roof means patients can access professional general practice, diagnostic services, and urgent care in one trusted location, without the fragmentation often experienced in regional and rural healthcare.
AusRMS operates permanent medical centres in Perisher Valley, Falls Creek, Mount Buller, and Mount Hotham, providing year-round healthcare to local communities, workers, and visitors. Each clinic is staffed by experienced doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals who understand the unique medical demands of rural and alpine environments, where timely care and clinical confidence are critical.
Family care at AusRMS extends well beyond routine GP visits. Patients can access RACGP-accredited general practice services, chronic disease management, preventative health checks, vaccinations linked to the Australian Immunisation Register, and workplace medicals. On-site licensed X-ray and ultrasound services allow faster diagnosis and treatment, reducing the need for external referrals and long travel times.
For families living or working in alpine regions, convenience is essential. Most AusRMS clinics operate on a walk-in basis, with no appointment necessary. Patients who attend earlier in the day are often seen almost immediately, before the arrival of peak alpine sports injuries. Seasonal online bookings are available at Perisher during summer via HotDoc, ensuring flexible access when demand increases.
AusRMS is also equipped to manage urgent and complex medical presentations. Clinics regularly provide trauma care, advanced fracture and dislocation management, and injury treatment associated with outdoor and sporting activities. Close coordination with ski patrols, Ambulance Victoria, local hospitals, and air retrieval services ensures seamless escalation of care when required.
What truly defines comprehensive family care at AusRMS is continuity. Patients are supported by clinicians who take the time to listen, explain treatment options, and build long-term relationships. This approach supports better health outcomes, improved trust, and a more reassuring healthcare experience for individuals and families alike.
With a strong commitment to accessibility, clinical excellence, and community wellbeing, Australian Rural Medical Services continues to deliver comprehensive family care under one roof. By combining general practice, diagnostics, urgent care, and specialist coordination in one setting, AusRMS ensures families across rural and alpine Australia can access the quality healthcare they deserve, close to home.
