Ascot Family Practice offers exceptional medical care in a friendly environment. All doctors are actively engaged in continuing medical education. They have additional training in various areas to assist our patients with specific health care needs. Some of our doctors are also involved in training future registrars from the University of Queensland and the College of General Practitioners.

The tenant doctors will always see our patients with urgent medical problems that day and we endeavour to ensure that same day bookings are available for non urgent medical conditions.
We have male and female doctors to ensure patients’ preferences are respected.
