Health Nexus Launceston is a purpose-built general practice at 24 Wellington Street with 13 GPs, open 8am to 8pm on weekdays and every day of the year. Here is what that means for you and your family.
Extended hours, every day of the year
Health Nexus is open from 8am until 8pm Monday to Friday, on Saturdays and Sundays, and on public holidays, so you can see a GP after work, after school or at the weekend without waiting for Monday. We are open on every public holiday, including Christmas Day and New Year's Day, on our standard hours for that day.
As a general practice, we offer ongoing care as well as urgent care: you can see the same GP for routine and urgent problems, your records stay in one place, and follow-up, results and referrals are handled by the team who saw you.
Everything in one building
General practice
13 GPs with special interests including women's health, children's health, men's health, chronic disease, mental health and travel medicine, consulting in more than ten languages. Meet the doctors.
Same-day and after-hours care
A walk-in clinic from 5pm to 7pm on weekdays and 1pm to 3pm at weekends, same-day urgent appointments by phone or online request, evening appointments to 8pm on weekdays and weekend consulting every Saturday and Sunday.
Pathology on site
A pathology collection centre operates in the building on weekdays, so blood tests can usually be taken straight after your appointment without a second trip.

Skin cancer checks and skin surgery, emergency and after-hours dental care, iron infusions, immunisations and travel vaccinations, knee and elbow injection therapy and InBody scans, plus a visiting neurologist.
