Compassionate Care Redefined

History

Highgate Health was founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife team Belinda Donkin-Evers, an endorsed Nurse Practitioner, and James Evers, an experienced general and operations manager. Our journey began as a Primary Healthcare Clinic located within the Good Price Pharmacy in McGraths Hill.

In January 2022, we expanded to City Cave in Rouse Hill, introducing specialised infusion therapies and weight-loss consultations to meet the evolving needs of our community. By February 2023, we proudly established our own standalone clinic in Bella Vista, reaffirming our dedication to delivering accessible, high-quality healthcare.

In 2024, we achieved NDIS accreditation, enabling us to support individuals within the National Disability Insurance Scheme. We also expanded our services to include tailored care for the LGBTIQA+ community, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

At Highgate Health, we are deeply committed to our patients' well-being. By working closely with each individual, we provide personalised care that empowers them to achieve their health goals and feel their best.

What is a Nurse Practitioner?

A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a healthcare professional with advanced training and education, allowing them to provide many of the same services as a doctor. Nurse Practitioners are licensed to diagnose and treat medical conditions, prescribe medications, and offer preventive care.

Nurse Practitioners have earned a Master’s or Doctoral degree in nursing and possess a wealth of clinical experience. They have the same authority as doctors in treating patients, making them essential members of the healthcare team.
