Our Practice
The Ormeau Medical Centre was born out of two doctor's passion for a Community Practice. They had 20 years of hospital and specialist experience behind them.
Back then there was no medical practice around Ormeau. The Greyhound Coach Service was the only transport link and people we still riding horses in the streets of Ormeau. That was in 1994 , now it is almost 25 years since then. The population has grown, demography has changed, but our philosophy of serving the community has not changed.
Thanks to the support of the community and dedicated staff the Ormeau Medical Centre still exists after 25 years and hopes to continue into the future.

Dr A. M Srinivasa M.B.B.S, FRCS, FRACGP
Destiny has played a big part with “Dr Srini’s (as he is popularly known) in life. He wanted to be a Nuclear Physicist but became a Doctor instead. He went to the UK and trained as a Surgeon, but ended up in Ormeau as a General Practitioner.
His dream might have altered, but his work ethics have remained the same and he has served in each endeavour to the best of his ability. Now nearing the end of his working career he has over 45 years’ experience in Clinical, Teaching and Administration. In recognition of his work in PNG his name was included in the Marquis WHO’S WHO IN THE WORLD, Edition 18 in 2001
His surgical training started in India and was completed in the United Kingdom, highlights of which being admitted as a Fellow of Royal College of Surgeons by passing examination.
After working in the United Kingdom for eight years the family moved to PNG for one year’s work experience, which ended up extending to thirteen years. This time in PNG was considered to be the best part of their lives by Dr Srini and his family.
In 1991 Dr Srini and his family immigrated to Australia to further his children’s education. Dr Srini started working at the Logan Hospital as an Emergency Physician.
On the 19 March 1994 he started the Ormeau Medical Centre in a small corner shop (about 35 sq.) in the Old Ormeau Town Shopping Centre, (now the Woolworths buildings).
Due to community support the Practice grew and was able to shift to a purpose built Medical Centre in 1997.
Through this website Dr Srini wishes to express his gratitude to the community of Ormeau for the support they have given and hopes it will continue.
From his part he will reassure that the Ormeau Medical Centre will always be a community practice as ever.
