About us
Whilst we are a culturally and professionally diverse group of medical specialists, we have a common goal – to offer patients a holistic and comprehensive approach to their health with excellent continuity of care.
We understand how frustrating it can be to have to explain yourself over and over and to have information lost in translation between specialists, which is exactly why we’ve come together as a team in the one place. We want all of our patients to feel confident that their needs will be met with compassion, consideration and connection.
Each specialist at South Eastern Specialist Centre is highly qualified and has experience in both private and public hospitals, as well as specialised clinics. Between us we speak more than 10 languages and are focused on the wellbeing and support of minorities in our community.
