About Us
Commitment to providing a quality environment for doctors to practice high quality care.
For over forty years, health and support staff at Lyttleton St Medical Clinic have been providing excellent medical care to the people of Castlemaine and the surrounding districts. In 2020 Goldfields Medical Group was created to provide a service where doctors can work to serve the community and continue providing high quality medical care.
Goldfields Medical Group is locally owned.
The doctors provide individualised healthcare and medical advice across a lifetime; from pre-conception to palliative or geriatric care.
The doctors and nurses support patients in managing such conditions as chronic diseases, suspicious skin spots, mental health and family planning.
The doctors provide comprehensive advice on travel health, sexual health and workplace medical assessments.
Commitment To Hospital Care
The doctors provide urgent care services with Dhelkaya Health along with inpatient services.
Several doctors provide a range of maternity services including GP-Obstetrician supported birthing.
They also continue to support patients as residents in aged care settings.
Melbourne Pathology operates an onsite collection service in the Lyttleton St clinic.

Commitment To Community
In addition to providing excellent health care, the doctors are committed to being a part of a healthy and connected community. Our staff and the doctors practicing here participate and volunteer with a large number of local organisations.
The Dancing Doctor (AKA Mullet Man)
Dr Richard Mayes believes that joy is often the best medicine.
You can find him dancing up storm and inspiring others in a flash mob, or at a local dance studio, running amok in the Silver Top Dance Therapy classes.
Catch his story on The Project.

Commitment To Education
Part of being a doctor is being committed to training the next generation of rural medical doctors.
We provide services to General Practitioners and Rural Generalists supporting registrars who have chosen to specialise in rural general health.
You will also meet Medical Students from Monash University as well as John Flynn Scholars.


Lyrebird Health
Goldfields Medical Group is now using Lyrebird Health.
What is Lyrebird Health?
Lyrebird Health is a medical scribe tool to help health practitioners record accurate clinical notes during a patient consultation.
Lyrebird Health listens in the background, capturing only the relevant details relating to clinical documentation requirements. These details are then transcribed into text to be sent to your health practitioner’s Electronic Medical Record system.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Transcription is performed exclusively within Australia
- Audio file is immediately destroyed post-transcription
- Transcription is redacted of sensitive, personal identifying information received
- The transcript is encrypted – it is not stored in its original form
- Only your health practitioner can access this content
- At the discretion of the practitioner, data may be stored temporarily in Lyrebird.
If you have any questions, please ask your health practitioner.
