About Us

Northwest Health offers five convenient locations in Tamworth and Werris Creek. Northwest Health aims to provide comprehensive and thoughtful medical care to families and individuals. We work hard to keep up to date with the latest medical innovations to bring you efficient personal service.

Consultations are by appointment and we endeavour to see urgent cases on the day.

If you require an urgent appointment please phone the surgery at 8:30am. You may not necessarily be able to see your usual doctor for urgent appointments.

Your health is important to us and we want to provide the best service that we can. All attempts are made to make this practice run efficiently with courteous and friendly staff and pleasant and comfortable surroundings.
