Advocate Medical Centre
Business Type
Profile Summary
AMC is a well-established clinic located in a purpose-built facility situated at the southern boundary of Box Hill, one of Melbourne’s most vibrant and diverse commercial and residential hubs.
Unlike the majority of Medical Centres that have opened in the Box Hill Central area, our doctors provide traditional general practice care including home visits and residential care facilities. We are heavily involved in data-driven patient care, fully appreciating that the government is moving towards funding tied to quality improvements. We do not churn patients through the door--if anything, we do the opposite--but our income per patient is high due to the high proportion of patients having health assessments and chronic disease management care. We are also--by some margin--the easiest practice to access in the area.

Area Insights
Bordering Box Hill South, near the corner of Canterbury Road and Station Street, AMC is nestled in a quiet street with ample free parking in the adjacent council car park. The ease of access to the medical centre is a point of difference compared to other medical practices that are anchored in commercial buildings and shopping malls in the centre of Box Hill. Patients appreciate that they can park ten metres from the door--as do our doctors!
Box Hill is a middle-distance eastern suburb of Melbourne. It has a diverse community and has become a vibrant hub for Melbourne’s Chinese community. There are plenty of high performing public and private schools in the area. AMC is close to Box Hill Centro and Forest Hill Chase as well as Blackburn South shopping centre. Big box stores (Bunnings, Officeworks, Anaconda, Decathlon) are less than a mile away. Unlike most areas in suburbia, Box Hill is recognised as a commercial hub with public service offices, hotels and apartments towers reaching skywards.
