Banksia Medical & Health was established in 1979 by Dr Graham G. Jacobs, in a little house on 47 Dempster St. Esperance and relocated to
James St in February 2023. This relocation project has been in the works since October 2020 and we are excited that it has finally become a reality.
The team at BMH feels strongly about providing quality health care, and encouraging safety and preventative health in the community and in local business. As a business we believe in the intrinsic value of all human life. Our Pregnancy Termination and Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) Statements are available below:
Dr Jacobs has always encouraged the growth of health professionals in the community and has been involved with the training of junior doctors, medical students and nursing students, to ensure that our region might have sufficient quality health services. We often have juniors and students at the practice. Patients are welcome to decline having a student or junior doctor present for their appointment and are asked to inform reception when checking in.

Patient Centered Care - We are committed to understanding the needs of our patients and working together with them to achieve their health goals.
