Welcome to Sapphire Coast Medical Practice

Complete family health care in a friendly, efficient, professional and confidential environment.

Sapphire Coast Medical Practice is a traditional Family Medical Practice based in Bega and Tathra on the beautiful South Coast of NSW.

We aim to provide complete family health care in a friendly, efficient, professional and confidential environment, and support our community with a varied demographic of all ages, socioeconomic status and cultures. All Medical, Nursing and Reception Staff and trainees strive to maintain this through their work at all times.

This Practice does not discriminate against or disadvantage patients in any aspect of access, examination or treatment. All staff provide all health care in a non-judgmental way.'


Due to our current GP shortage, SCMP is NOT currently accepting NEW patients and will need to take a team approach to the care of existing patients. You may not be able to see your preferred doctor, but we will do our best to ensure a good handover and supervision of junior doctors. We hope this will be a temporary shortage, and we thank you for your patience.



Phone line closures over lunch

Every day from 12 noon to 1:00pm, the phone lines at both our Bega and Tathra Surgeries will be closed to allow our staff to complete necessary administration tasks. If you have an emergency during these times, please ring triple zero. Otherwise, please ring the surgeries back after 1:00pm. We appreciate your understanding while we implement these changes!
