Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Scott Kirton
General Practitioner, Male
Scott Kirton was raised in Dapto, NSW. He grew up almost within view (and definitely within smell) of Lake Illawarra, and spent an idyllic childhood sailing and cycling the countryside. He got badly sunburnt every summer on the beautiful beaches of Wollongong.
Scott moved north to Brisbane with his family in 1984 where he attended Aspley State High, and the University of Queensland where he met his wife Lisa. They have two children, Hamish and Matilda, and two puppies.
Scott joined GRMS in 1996 and gradually came to realise that Ipswich is far better than Brisbane, so he moved here.

Dr. Lisa Moreton
General Practitioner, Female
My name is Dr. Lisa Moreton, or Mrs. Lisa Kirton, or Mum, or ‘Hey you’.
I have worked at Grange Road since 2000 and have lived locally since 2006.
My husband Scott works here too and we have two children, Hamish and Matilda and two beagles named Bowie and Buffy.
I was originally born in Inglewood, the only true Queenslander in my family and grew up in Rockhampton before moving to Brisbane for University and subsequent hospital time. Scott and I both passed our exams to specialize in General Practice in 1997, and Grange Road is a great place to work and endeavor to provide comprehensive primary care to our patients. I love the continuity of general practice, looking after people in the context of their families and their community.
For fun, I like reading (psychological thrillers, horror, science fiction and fantasy) cooking (decadent desserts especially) and quilting (many more unfinished projects than finished).
Please note Dr Moreton is not taking on new patients, If you are not a regular patient of Dr Moreton, please contact the surgery for further advice.

Dr. Benjamin Hearne
General Practitioner, Male
Ben was born in Ipswich Hospital and grew up just outside Ipswich, however, not this Ipswich but the Ipswich in the UK! This is perhaps why he feels so at home here; he arrived from the UK at the beginning of 2025 on New Years Eve celebrating this new life in Australia with his wife and 2 children. He left Ipswich in the UK in 2006 to study Medicine at the University of Sheffield. After graduating as a doctor he did various Medical Specialities including, Care of the Elderly, Ear Nose and Throat Surgery, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery and Women’s Health. Ben completed 5 years of Anaesthetic Training, but decided he preferred talking to patients rather than putting them to sleep. He switched to GP training and has not looked back. When Ben is not at work, he is spending time with his family and finding adventures around Queensland, experiencing nature in all its beauty in this incredible part of the world. He is always keen to hear suggestions of great places to see and visit.

Dr. Amanda Illingworth
General Practitioner, Female
I have been in Australia for over 30 years and a Grange Road doctor since 1991 (does that make me a local yet?).

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.

Dr. Evie Rank
General Practitioner, Female
Evelyn Rank prefers to be called Dr Evie, as she is called Evelyn only when she is in trouble.
She graduated from University of Queensland in 2011, and trained mainly in Ipswich Hospital and Gold Coast University Hospital.
She really enjoys people, loves food and is secretly a little bit of a geek. Her boys drag her out running, which she does reluctantly only so that she can have that little bit more chocolate after dinner.
Her favourite patients (if she is really honest) are those with multiple chronic medical conditions, the elderly and youth who don’t quite fit the box.
Evie spent 3 years at Ipswich Hospital back in 2012 and is thrilled to be back in the area.
