Dr Amanda Illingworth

Biography:

I have been in Australia for over 30 years and a Grange Road doctor since 1991 (does that make me a local yet?).

I was born in South Africa and grew up in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), which was exciting and adventurous.

My husband and I emigrated to Australia looking for a better future for our family – and found it in Ipswich.

General Practice has been the most rewarding and exciting career for me. I am passionate about maintaining excellence in primary health care and so I am involved in local medical politics and medical education to do my ‘bit’ to continually improve local health care.

I have 2 awesome grown-up off-spring who are true Aussies.

I love to de-stress with making artworks and playing classical guitar.
