As part of our role supporting the independent practitioners consulting from our rooms, we interact with many people living in the Port Melbourne and wider community. We believe that businesses have an ethical responsibility to give back to the community they are a part of. We value these bonds and meaningful connections within our community.
We are proud to support both the Port Melbourne Primary School and Port Phillip Specialist School by donating medical supplies and defibrillators, giving teachers their influenza vaccine, as well as sponsoring programs, fetes and dinners.
We’ve also supported the Light For Riley Foundation, donating our time and vaccines to help educate new parents about the risks of whooping cough, as well as worked on their stall to vaccinate new parents.
At an international level, we also understand how children who are disadvantaged in developing countries don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water or education. Nobody should have to experience this start to life.
Since Port Melbourne Medical opened in 2013, we have sponsored a child named Triza in Zambia through World Vision. This sponsorship helps Triza to get an education and gives her access to food, safe drinking water and healthcare within her community.
"The team at Port Melbourne Medical have been a wonderful support to Port Phillip Specialist School. The supply of both medical equipment, including a defibrillator, and advice has been invaluable and vital to the overall health and wellbeing of our school staff and students."
“The staff at Port Melbourne Medical have been fantastic since opening. They take their job of supporting the doctors seriously, and make it a smooth experience for patients to have interactions with their doctor. Recently PMM donated a defibrillator machine to our school, something that we were missing and for this we are grateful”
