BOORT District Medical Centre will continue to have a familiar face as Dr Chris Olise signs a new five-year lease.
Dr Olise came to Boort in 2019, after working in Western Australia and Victoria for several years. 
Originally from Nigeria, he enjoys the small-town life Boort has to offer and is looking forward to another five years working in the community.  Boort Medical is a bulk billing clinic and offers allied health services. Nurse practitioner Simone O’Brien works at the clinic every second Wednesday, as does Stride psychosocial recovery services.
Mondays and Thursdays have Leah from 3D Physiotherapy attending the clinic, while Pat from the Royal Flying Doctors Service visits Tuesday mornings. Pathology collection is also available on site for patients. 
Boort Medical is in the process of adding additional allied health services such as optometry and hearing clinics to assist the community and cut down on the need to travel long distances for these services, Dr Olise said.
