Our story

From a personal promise to a region-wide clinical network

In 2016, our founder Dr Zia and his young family had just relocated to Queensland. His wife was pregnant and urgently needed a GP consultation over the weekend. Despite their best efforts, they could not secure a same-day appointment. That experience became a defining moment — and Dr Zia made a commitment: if he ever had the opportunity to lead a general practice, he would remove barriers to access so that families could receive care when they needed it most.

In 2017, that commitment became reality with the acquisition of Beerwah Family Clinic. Driven by a mission to improve access to primary care, the group expanded across the Sunshine Coast. Today, ZH Doctors serves the community with a multidisciplinary team of over 29 GPs across five practices and a dedicated skin cancer clinic.

Why we exist

Creating a supportive environment for health

Our mission

Our mission is twofold: to deliver accessible, high-quality primary care to the Sunshine Coast community, and to create sustainable, professionally fulfilling positions for local GPs and allied health practitioners.

We maintain a “small family practice feel” across every location. Despite our growth, we never lose the continuity of care and personal connection that defines us.

Our vision

To be the Sunshine Coast’s most trusted general practice group – where patients receive consistent, compassionate care at every visit, and GPs find a career worth staying for.
