Testimonials

"I had an incredible experience with all of the staff at The Doctor House during my six-week rural placement. The whole team was incredibly welcoming and it was wonderful to be able to witness how kind and respectful everyone is to all people entering The Doctor House. I was able to grow my skills and develop confidence with procedures while being well supported and always encouraged. Looking forward to returning sometime in the future!"

"I was introduced to rural medicine during my community placement in Yungaburra and shadowed Dr House at the clinic. Dr House is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about her profession. She had me hooked on rural medicine, so much so I can't wait to specialize in rural medicine. The staff at the practice were so accommodating and made me feel part of the team. Lots of opportunity to get your hands dirty with supervision"

"I recently had the opportunity to visit The Doctor House Clinic and was thoroughly impressed by the high standard of care provided by the doctors and staff. The clinic operates with a dedicated and professional team that delivers vital medical services, especially in remote areas where healthcare access can be limited. As a medical professional, I truly appreciate the hard work and commitment this clinic shows in ensuring patients receive the best care possible. My short visit allowed me to witness firsthand the positive impact they're making in the community. The team is clearly passionate about their work and goes above and beyond to make a difference. I highly recommend The Doctor House Clinic for anyone in need of compassionate and effective medical care."

" Thank You Dr House and the team at The Doctors House in Yungaburra (Qld) for what was a fantastic learning experience. Over the course of my 3 week rotation there I was afforded a great opportunity to observe and assist across the breadth of General Practice in a rural setting. From Nursing homes, and home visits to Clinic Consults and Procedures there was a good mixture of common and rare conditions. I also got insights beyond the clinical practice of medicine and have left with a greater respect for the operational challenges of Rural General Practice. Most of all I had the honour of meeting a variety of fascinating patients who were all kind and welcoming, as well as working alongside a fantastic medical team. I would highly recommend the experience to any medical student, GP registrar, or Fellow looking for a lovely taste of rural GP land."

"I had the pleasure of spending one week shadowing Dr Diana House at The Doctor House during my 4th year rural placement in 2024. I spent a lot of time in consultations as well as observing and performing procedures with Dr House. Dr House made sure to involve me as much as possible and provided me with many learning opportunities. I also spent a substantial amount of time assisting nurses with procedures such as vaccinations, ECGs and vital signs. I found that spending time with both doctors and nurses helped develop a very holistic learning experience. Overall, I found my experience at The Doctor House very enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend doing placement with them."

"Yungaburra is located in one of Australia’s real wildlife hotspots, the Atherton Tablelands. Today it is largely a farming area but you can still on any day see kookaburras, kangaroos and even occasionally a cassowary up here. I am a locum GP and I have worked several times at The Doctor House and found its staff to be a caring, supportive, organised and very much patient-focussed team. If you are looking for a place to stay in tropical Queensland, without some of the heat you will experience down on the coast, talk to Dr. Diana House and her team about joining them in this beautiful little town."
