About Our Practice

Serving Coolangatta Since 2008

We are a dedicated team of healthcare professionals committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care to the Coolangatta community and surrounding areas.

Our Story

A Tradition of Caring

Founded by Dr Peter Davis in 2008, Rutledge Family Medical Centre was established with a simple vision: to provide high-quality, accessible healthcare to every member of the community. What started as a small two-doctor practice has grown into one of the most trusted medical centres on the Southern Gold Coast.

Our purpose-built clinic at 123 Rutledge Street features modern consulting rooms, a fully equipped treatment room, and on-site pathology collection. We have invested in the latest medical technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and efficient care.

Today, our team of 10 experienced General Practitioners, supported by skilled nurses and a friendly administration team, provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages — from newborns to the elderly.
