| Description of practice location |
Hallet Cove Corner Surgery is located approximately 23kms away from the city of Adelaide and approximately 1km from the coast. The practice is situated in an area which has a varied population ranging from a large number of young families to a growing number of elderly residents. Hallet Cove is a very pleasant seaside suburb. Recently, the addition of a large shopping complex has added interest to the area, boasting delightful restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, clothing stores, two supermarkets and a department store, all just outside out back door. The surrounding suburbs of Sheidow Park and Trott Park are growing rapidly as young families and retirees move south.
