2.Highfield Park Medical Centre is owned by Tilak Dissanayake

Support our three generous members contribution by saving the date and early booking of our biggest fundraising event – Lift the Lid Lunch with Guest Speaker Craig Tiley, CEO Tennis Australia. Terry Kitchen and her team have worked so hard and had great success in securing $9,000 of sponsorships for this year’s event.
Craig was quoted in the Herald Sun (24 January 2024) : “Craig Tiley has called for major changes to tennis globally to speed up the sport, make it more attractive to young fans and pay players more.” It will be a fascinating presentation.
Are you the person who leaves bookings till the last moment? Be aware, tickets are already being snapped up. Invite your guests and ensure your booking by registering asap to hear more from Craig Tiley. MORE...
