Repatriation Commission Outpatient Clinic

The Repatriation Commission Outpatient Clinic, located at 310 St Kilda Road in Melbourne, is a historically significant Art Deco building, notable for being the only remaining outpatient clinic established for the health and wellbeing of ANZACs, particularly World War I veterans. Opened in 1937, the clinic has served veterans from subsequent conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It is revered by the Australian veteran community as a sacred site, reflecting the struggles faced by returning soldiers. The clinic features modern facilities that were advanced for its time, including a large waiting area and specialized medical examination rooms. Over the years, it has adapted to the needs of veterans, providing essential outpatient services and support, including a canteen run by the Australian Red Cross. The building's architectural significance and its role in veteran care make it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers.
