Location:
We are located opposite Fremantle Hospital, right on the corner of Alma Street and South Terrace, on the ocean side of South Terrace. There is a general practice at the front.
Parking:
There is ample metered parking in Alma Street, a carpark on the corner, as well as street parking in adjacent streets. There is limited parking immediately in front of the clinic, with spaces usually available there for our late clinics and Saturdays.
Note that we are also handy to public transport. Buses stop immediately outside our clinic. (Ask for the Fremantle Hospital stop on routes such as the Circle Route 98.) It is an easy walk from the Fremantle train station, past the cappuccino strip of South Terrace.
