Hughes Family Practice has been delivering exemplary medical and nursing care to the Canberra community since 1968.

We provide strong continuity of care, getting to know patients and their health needs and goals, and working together to get the best health outcomes for them. Many patients have attended Hughes for decades, and we are proud to count multiple generations of the same families among our practice community.

We are committed to preventing chronic illness, and work with patients and their networks to manage risks and support behaviour changes that meet patients’ needs. Our commitment to patient-centred care ensures our patients are empowered and respected from their very first consultation with us.

Our experienced doctors, nurses and administration staff work together as a dedicated team to meet our patients’ needs. Our strong local referral network links us to a range of specialists and allied health professionals across a huge spectrum of care needs. Diligent and discreet communication ensures your information is both protected and available when and where it’s required.

We provide a range of specialised services, including chronic disease management, mental health, women’s health, menopause care, paediatrics, travel medicine, skin cancer medicine, and more. We use comprehensive health assessments, chronic care management plans, mental health plans, and other services to enable our patients to get the most out of Medicare and other government-supported entitlements.

Our doctors and nurses are supported to upskill in areas of interest. Our team works hard to stay up to date with the ever-changing landscape of health, medicine and technology.  We integrate proven technologies into our practice with care and transparency. We integrate cutting edge techniques and approaches into our practice, delivering you the highest possible level of care.

We welcome and value feedback from patients and staff, and constantly strive for better. Continuous quality improvement at a practice and individual level underpins our commitment to our patients. We are fully RACGP-accredited and provide education and on-the-job training for medical students and GP registrars.
