The Gelantipy District Bush Nursing Centre Inc. first opened in February 1964 on the veranda of Sister Dawn Cross’s home.

Then, in 1988, the Centre opened its own building located on Saleyard Road, Gelantipy, which underwent a complete refurbishment and was officially re-opened in 2017, ensuring medical help and other services and needs are well and truly met for the foreseeable future.

Gelantipy is located 120km northeast of Bairnsdale, in a remote and mountainous area of East Gippsland.

The Centre services an area of approximately 3,400 square kilometres stretching from Murrindal (approximately 30 minutes south) to the New South Wales border (approximately two hours north), taking in the communities of W Tree, Butchers Ridge, Gelantipy, Wulgulmerang and Suggan Buggan. It is an isolated and diverse rural community that borders the Snowy River National Park, and the district currently has a population of approximately 150 permanent residents.
