Novar Specialists Ballarat

About Us

At Novar, our vision is simple — to deliver high-quality, patient-focused care tailored to each individual. Located in one of Ballarat’s most treasured historic buildings, we bring modern health services into a setting rich with history and legacy. Our team of independent practitioners and support staff work side-by-side, committed to the best outcomes for every patient who walks through our doors.

The Novar building has long been connected to healthcare. Once a private hospital, it included a fully equipped surgical theatre known for excellence in its time. Today, we continue that tradition, providing specialised care in orthopaedics, sports medicine, physiotherapy, psychology, neurology, myotherapy, and exercise physiology—all under one roof.
