I’m Dr Joan Chamberlain, and I’ve been a GP in Central Queensland for over 35 years. I was born and raised in Moura, a small rural mining town, and studied medicine at the University of Queensland. Staying connected to this region and its people has always been important to me.

I’m passionate about primary health care and still love general practice after all these years. What I find most rewarding is the opportunity to care for whole families — sometimes across multiple generations. I have a special interest in women’s health, ageing well, and travel medicine, and I enjoy working alongside patients to help them live their healthiest, most fulfilling lives.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my five adult children and growing number of grandchildren. I also enjoy cooking, sewing, and singing whenever I get the chance. I believe that supporting families in our community helps create a healthier, more connected world for the generations to come.
