Over 130 Years of Dedicated Family Healthcare in Launceston
At The Esk Family Health Care Centre, we combine a proud tradition of community medicine with modern, high-quality healthcare.
Operating continuously from our historic premises at 33 Brisbane Street since 1895, we are one of Launceston’s longest-running general practices. We are dedicated to supporting individuals and families across every stage of life in the context of their community.
Our History & Heritage
Serving Launceston Since 1895
The foundations of our clinic were established in the late 19th century. For over a century, our practice has provided compassionate, comprehensive care within the context of our local community and patient families.
While our heritage is deeply rooted in Launceston's history, our modern facility integrates state-of-the-art medical equipment, digital booking systems (via HotDoc), and online telehealth options to meet today’s healthcare needs.
Our Practice Ethos & Care Model
Comprehensive, Collaborative Care
We believe the best health outcomes happen when care is personal, continuous, and team-based.
Doctor & Nurse Collaboration
Our doctors work closely with our skilled practice nurses to deliver quality care in acute and chronic illness, health promotion, and disease prevention.
Patient-Centered Approach
Whether you are visiting for a routine health check, complex care planning, or emergency treatment, our appointment system is designed to ensure minimum waiting times while maintaining exceptional standards.
We proudly welcome new patients, existing families, and visitors to Launceston with equal warmth and professional care.
