Our GPs are all about looking after you and the community.
Consumer care is a top priority at Bendigo Community Health Services and we're lucky to have a range of GPs who follow this strategic direction.
Our GPs work from bulk-billed medical clinics at our Eaglehawk, Bendigo Central and Kangaroo Flat sites.
Meet some of our great GPs here:
Dr Haris Noor
BCHS site: Eaglehawk
Dr Noor has been working as a rural doctor around Bendigo since 2013 and enjoys all aspects of medicine with special interests in child and adolescent health.
After graduating and obtaining my medical degree from Monash University in 2012, Dr Noor worked at Bendigo Hospital in various specialty areas before gaining further experience in child and adolescent care to pursue this special interest.
He worked as a Paediatric Registrar for 18 months at Bendigo Hospital, Dandenong Hospital and Casey Hospital caring for newborns, infants, children, and adolescents while completing the Diploma in Child Health (DCH).
Dr Noor then started post-graduate specialist GP training and worked in primary health care at Castlemaine and at the local hospital attending patients at the Urgent Care and Acute Ward as a visiting medical officer.
Now in his final year of specialist training as a GP Registrar, Dr Noor is working towards gaining a Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP).
He also works part-time in the Bendigo Health emergency department while completing the Emergency Medicine Certificate through the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM).
Dr Noor is a bit of a thrill seeker in his spare time, embracing his adventureous side to go camping, road-tripping, hiking, wake-boarding or paragliding.
Special interests:
- Child & Adolescent Health
- Men's Health
- LGBTI Health
- Preventative Health
- Hepatitis C treatment
- HIV PrEP prescription
- Therapeutic musculoskeletal injections
- Minor skin surgeries

Dr Bourke has been a doctor in Bendigo for more than 30 years and did focus on GP anaesthetics and GP obstetrics for a long time before stopping a few years ago to focus on GP paediatrics at our Kangaroo Flat site and spending time in Bendigo Health emergency department.
Dr Bourke has four adult children.
Away from work he spends his time bushwalking and listening to all kinds of music.

Dr Imogen Hamel-Green
Site: Eaglehawk
I’m a GP registrar with interests in paediatric medicine, women’s health and refugee health.
I’ve previously worked as a Paediatric Registrar at Bendigo Hospital and Werribee Hospital and before that as a neonatal registrar at The Mercy Hospital in Heidelberg.
My internship and resident years were completed at Western Health in Melbourne.
Outside of work I enjoy gardening and bushwalking and have volunteered with wildlife rescue organisations.
Contributing to better healthcare in the local community by providing access to a wide range of health services and responding to the health needs of the community is why I've chosen to work at BCHS.
Special interests:
- Paediatric medicine
- Women’s health
- Refugee health
