Welcome to Eastbound’s New, Cosy Kids’ Corner
Eastbound’s Christmas renovations have gifted us with a new, colourful, and cosy kids’ corner, enhancing waiting experiences for young families.
Tucked into a private alcove of the waiting room and abundantly stocked with toys, books, and puzzles, the kids’ corner is the ideal place to rest, play, or explore before your appointment at Eastbound Medical Clinic.
We think the room is looking pretty inviting, but it could always use a couple of extra smiling faces, so be sure to check it out and join in on the fun during your next visit!

Painting Eastbound Red for REDFEB and Valentine’s Day
REDFEB is all about raising awareness of, and money for, the leading cause of death in Australia: heart disease.
Throughout February, Heart Research Australia invites Australians to show their support by wearing red for the people close to their hearts and by donating to support life-saving research.
At Eastbound Medical Clinic, the staff and consulting GPs participated by hosting a Valentine’s Day lunch. We seized the opportunity to paint the clinic red, flaunt our vibrant outfits, and raise much-needed funds for heart research. Collectively, we raised $145.00, while using social media to draw attention to both the impact of heart disease and the importance of heart health and heart check-ups.
This February, we wore red for our community. Who did you wear red for?
