Hawkins Medical Centre

The Hawkins Medical Clinic was established in 1947 when two solo practitioners Drs. Hawkins and Oaten joined forces. As in a number of country practices at that time, the intention was to enlarge the group by attracting specialists. In 1948 Guy Robertson joined the practice; the first specialist surgeon resident practicing in country South Australia. Bill Moore joined the group in 1954, completing the final part of his M.R.A.C.P. from country practice. Again, he was the first specialist physician resident practicing in country South Australia. And so the clinic grew with a mix of specialists, each competently doing some general practice and with general practitioners, each with a special interest.
