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 and two puppies. Scott joined Grange Road Medical in 1996 and gradually came to realise that Ipswich is far better than Brisbane, so he moved here. His special interests are skin cancer detection and surgery, and general skin conditions

My name is Tu (t-oo) Huynh (Hwən). I was born in Vietnam, and came with my parents to Australia as refugees in 1979.

I have lived in Brisbane most of my life. Went to Brisbane State High School and graduated from UQ in 1998 with my MBBS and spent 4 years at Ipswich General Hospital. I had experience in Emergency medicine, ICU, and Ophthalmology (eyes) apart from the normal rotations in hospital, before deciding on General Practice.

I have an interest in paediatrics (kids), eye problems, men’s health and skin checks, and perform minor procedures like removing skin cancers. I have started the Ipswich Travel Clinic to provide travel advice and health needs (vaccines, travel kits, yellow fever certificates) for those travelling overseas..

I have a lovely supportive wife and two kids who are growing up fast. I have been at Grange Road now for a few years and hope that we can continue to provide excellent service to the community with our collective knowledge and experience in our doctors.

Teun was born in Brisbane. He studied and completed his medical degree at UQ, St Lucia. Teun has special interest in Paediatrics and Geriatrics. In his free time he enjoys getting out on his boat, fishing and generally enjoying the outdoors.

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).

Born and bred in Ipswich and still here. I am married with 2 children, both boys.

Education – primary and high school in Ipswich, then University of Queensland – initially for Bachelor of Science and then Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery. I then worked at Ipswich Hospital for a few years, then Chinchilla and Ipswich practices for GP training.

My hobbies/interests include keyboard and clarinet playing, scrapbooking, reading, swimming, and volunteering in the kids program at our church.

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.

My name is Jill Colwell. I grew up in outback NSW on a sheep and cattle property. Graduated with honours in medicine from Sydney university in 1977.

I have worked in general practice for 25 years and at GRMS since 2007. I believe that health is our greatest asset and we can all do something to improve our health.

For appointments with me, please phone the surgery. My appointments are not available online. I usually have appointments available Monday to Friday, including urgent/same day appointments.

I have always been connected with the Ipswich area. After completing high school here, I moved to study in Brisbane before returning to work at Ipswich Hospital. After 7 years in the hospital I have finally made the move to Grange Road Medical.

My interests cover all aspects of general practice, particularly skin checks and acute medicine/urgent care.

I am a father of one and when not working I enjoy climbing, diving, and playing the guitar.

Maliha grew up in north Queensland, and finished her Medical Degree through James Cook University in Townsville and Mackay. She has since worked in Hospitals all over Australia including in Mackay, Redcliffe, Ipswich, and Sydney in many different fields. Outside of work, she enjoys crafting and painting, and discovering new cafes and restaurants!

Dr. Jason Dawson is a local resident with a young family and is an ex-RAAF doctor.

When not working, he coaches a local soccer team: enjoys four wheel driving and camping. His interest areas of medicine include Ear, Nose & Throat, Musculoskeletal / Sports Medicine and Veterans’ Health.

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.
