20 years of innovative healthcare built on listening.
Where you’ll never feel like a number.
Twenty years ago, a handful of doctors, academics, clinicians and public health advocates came together to save something too good to lose – quality healthcare for the disadvantaged community of Inala.
Two years of determination, imagination and persuasion later, a trailblazing, not-for-profit practice was ready to step in when the government service closed its doors. It was called Inala Primary Care and, in the transition, the health of the people of Inala never missed a beat.
Now we’re Sandstone Healthcare. Over the years, the spirit and compassion of our beginnings have inspired many others who share our values to join us—same commitment to fairness, excellence and partnership; same passion put into practice.
We think it’s exactly what health care should be.
Sandstone Healthcare is a not-for-profit general practice built on something simple: a team working together for you. We focus on being proactive rather than reactive. This means planning and coordinating your care when you’re well, catching concerns early, and helping you stay healthy for longer.
Our doctors, nurses, allied health providers, and medical specialists share notes, communicate across your care, and see you as a whole person, not just your conditions.
It’s true. We’re passionate about good health.
Whether you’re managing complex health needs or simply keen to stay well longer, you’ll have a team who listens, plans with you, and partners for the long term.
We think it’s exactly what health care should be.
Our GPs provide comprehensive care, from routine and preventive health to complex conditions. Some have special interests in women’s health, mental health, or chronic disease.
Our nurses help you manage chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, asthma, or chronic pain. This service is at no extra cost for conditions lasting more than three months.
We offer a variety of allied health services in-house from podiatry to physiotherapy and counselling. Also pharmacist home visits to review your medications. Talk to our team to find out more.
Our clinicians and practice staff are here to get to know you and support your health—wherever that journey takes you.
We host junior clinicians to help grow Australia’s health workforce. You get to choose the role you want to play in their training.

Coming soon! Integrating dietetics, psychology, and medical care for conditions like IBS, to help with better management of patient experiences.
Access to healthcare should not be about the size of your wallet but the size of your need. That is why, across our group of practices, we deliver affordability without compromising on quality in each of our clinics.
We are transparent about any out-of-pocket costs you may incur. Our fee schedule for each practice can be found online.
Healthcare is a journey. Stay up to date with what you need to know and what your team is doing to help!
Our name tells the story. When individual grains of sand come under pressure, they bond together and form sandstone—stronger as a collective than alone.
That’s how this practice began: a community under pressure, people coming together, creating something solid and lasting. It’s still how we work—partnering with you and your family, collaborating across care teams, connecting with communities to build the supports people need. Each of our sites is a little unique, just like the layers in sandstone.
You’re not just a patient here. You’re part of the team, and your family is too. Better health is built together. That is the Sandstone difference.
We look beyond each appointment to ask bigger questions about keeping people well. In every community we serve, we design services around what’s needed most—whether that’s diabetes support, mental health care, healthy ageing, or workplace health.
As a not-for-profit, we reinvest income into research, better services, and supporting our work at Inala, Queensland’s largest social housing community. Our innovative care models have earned recognition, including a 2024 Stronger Medicare Award.
This means your care at Yeerongpilly supports healthcare equity across Brisbane. That’s health for good in action.
Great healthcare requires constant innovation. We’re testing new care models, piloting digital health platforms, and designing better pathways for patients navigating complex conditions.
This work needs funding beyond Medicare. If you’d like to support our research, pilot programs, or help fill gaps in care, we’d welcome your partnership.
