Island’s only GP clinic saved from closure
Thanks to GP Dr Michael Clements, idyllic Magnetic Island's one practice has gone from near-bust to bustling in just a few short months
Something remarkable has happened to the only GP clinic on idyllic Magnetic Island, in north Queensland.
Three months ago, the clinic was on the brink of closing, after the only GP went on sick leave and efforts to recruit permanent GPs proved fruitless.
The only doctor working at the clinic was a Queensland Health locum.
This week, the clinic held its grand opening under the new ownership of Dr Michael Clements, a GP who already owns two practices in Townsville.
