FOR almost a century, Lister House Medical Centre has been a pillar of community healthcare, providing compassionate and comprehensive general practice services. Steeped in history, the practice reflects the dedication and expertise of generations of doctors and healthcare professionals. Over the years, countless patients have entrusted their health and wellbeing to this close-knit family of practitioners, creating a legacy that continues to thrive.
Founded in 1931 by Dr Reginald Orchestron Mills in a white weatherboard house at the corner of Corio and Nixon Streets, the practice has grown through many stages. From a small surgery in Dr Mills’ home to half a century on Maude Street then back to Nixon Street before expanding across the road, each move marked a new chapter in the story of Lister House.
Through decades of change including staff growth, universal healthcare, advances in technology and the rise of practice nurses and administration professionals, one thing has remained constant: Lister House’s commitment to lifelong, personal high-quality care. Generations of patients have known their doctors not just as practitioners but as trusted friends sharing in life’s milestones.
Now, as Lister House begins its next chapter, the practice proudly celebrates its move to a state-of-the-art facility at 4 Shelby Court in North Shepparton. Reflecting Greater Shepparton’s growth and the practice’s dedication to excellence, the new centre marks a significant step forward in nearly a century of service.
As we celebrate Lister House Medical Centre, these pages share stories of doctors past and present, patient memories and moments in time, honouring a practice that has cared for Shepparton with warmth, skill and heart for almost one hundred years.
