Gladstone GP Superclinic – 15 years on since inception!

It was early 2010, when the inception of Gladstone GP Superclinic was born and since officially opening its doors in 2013, it has been providing healthcare services to individuals and families across the region. As a locally owned and operated practice, Gladstone GP Superclinic has become a trusted partner in supporting the well-being of residents, focusing not only on immediate medical needs, but also on fostering long-term health and wellness across the community.

Whilst the world has changed so much in the last decade, the team at Gladstone GP Superclinic is more committed than ever to enhancing their services, strengthening community relationships, and providing exceptional healthcare for years to come.

Built on Care: Supporting All – Regardless of Complexity

Since opening its doors, Gladstone GP Superclinic has offered a full suite of medical and allied health services, from family medicine to mental health support and everything in between. With 15 general practitioners on staff – each with diverse clinical interests – the practice ensures a wide range of patient needs are met with professionalism and empathy.

One of the areas where the clinic has made a lasting impact is in Chronic Disease Management. Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma and arthritis affect many residents in the region. The Superclinic has worked hard to offer structured, personalised care plans that empower patients to manage their conditions effectively and live fuller, healthier lives.

“Our goal is to give patients the tools and support they need to manage chronic illness. It isn’t about treating the symptoms, but improving the long-term outcomes,” says Dr. Winston Nicolaai, one of the clinic’s senior GPs. “We work very closely with allied health professionals, like dietitians, psychologists and physiotherapists, to deliver holistic, ongoing care.”

This proactive approach has helped countless Gladstone locals stay healthier, longer - reducing hospital visits, minimising complications, and improving quality of life.

Championing Workplace Health in Gladstone

Another cornerstone of the clinic’s services is its strong partnership with local businesses. The Superclinic is a leading provider of Workplace Medicals, employee health assessments, return-to-work plans, and pre-employment checks.

Gladstone’s industrial and trade sectors demand a fit, safe, and healthy workforce, and the Superclinic plays a vital role in ensuring local businesses meet those needs.

“Workplace medicals are essential for both employers and employees,” says Nurse Manager Alisa Tucker. “We support businesses in maintaining compliance, managing risk, and ensuring their teams are fit for duty – whether it’s a new employee starting out or a long-time staff member returning after injury.”

These services don’t just tick boxes, they actively improve health and productivity in the workplace. The clinic tailors its offerings to suit the unique needs of each industry, from mining and construction to transport and administration, helping local enterprises thrive through healthier teams.

Locally Owned, Community Driven

As a Gladstone-owned practice, the Superclinic is deeply embedded in the community. That connection is personal – many of the staff and doctors grew up here, raised families here, and are passionate about giving back to the region that supports them.

Over the years, the clinic has taken part in countless local events, school health initiatives, and wellness campaigns. They understand that community health starts with local engagement – and they’re just getting started.

“Being part of this community means more than just providing healthcare,” says Dr. Nicolaai. “It means being a good neighbour, supporting local initiatives, and always listening to what our patients need.”

Looking to the Future: A Vision for the Next Decade

As the clinic reflects on 15 years since its inception, the team is excited about what the future holds. Looking ahead, Gladstone GP Superclinic is committed to continuing its growth, adapting to the needs of the community, and providing even more ways to give back to Gladstone.

“We’re not just looking back at what we’ve achieved – we’re looking forward to how we can continue to improve the health and well-being of our community,” says Practice Manager, Lyndel Davis. “We want to keep growing, expanding our services, and making sure that Gladstone residents have access to high-quality healthcare for years to come.”

In the next phase of their journey, Gladstone GP Superclinic plans to further refine its range of services. The clinic is particularly focused on building its mental health and sexual health offerings, with an increased focus on youth and teens, as well as supporting families through difficult times.

Additionally, the clinic is committed to embracing the latest in medical technology, ensuring that all patients have access to cutting-edge treatments and the best possible care. Through partnerships with other healthcare providers, they aim to create a seamless healthcare experience for everyone in the community.

Get Involved: The Future of Gladstone GP Superclinic

As part of its vision for the future, the clinic invites the Gladstone community to be involved in the next phase of their journey. Whether it’s participating in health workshops, joining fitness challenges, or simply providing feedback on services, Gladstone GP Superclinic is always looking for ways to engage with the community and ensure that the healthcare they provide is meeting the evolving needs of local residents.

“We’re excited about the future, and we want everyone in the community to feel like they’re a part of it,” says Nurse Manager Alisa. “Together, we can continue to build a healthier, stronger Gladstone.” Whilst the last 15 years have been a remarkable journey of growth, care, and community; in looking ahead, the Superclinic is committed to expanding services, strengthening local relationships, and giving back even more to the people of Gladstone. With a strong foundation and an unwavering commitment to their community, the team are excited to continue serving the residents of Gladstone for many years to come.
