The thieves jemmied open a window with a screwdriver after climbing onto a bin at the medical centre on the corner of Thompsons and Woodbine Roads at the Homemaker Centre.
Cash and a plastic bag full of Eftpos receipts were stolen.
Police said the alarm was activated during the burglary.
Any witnesses can contact Detective Senior Constable David Measham at Cranbourne CIU on 5991 0661.
