Three years after the local Tristar clinic shut down, a new GP practice has opened in Mission Beach, saving grateful residents hundreds of dollars in taxi fares.

GP Dr Kim Favier says she had to spend hours doing applications and research, but she is committed to giving the town, two hours south of Cairns, a medical service again.
