Stonewall Medical Centre

What Stonewall Medical Centre does

Stonewall Medical Centre is an independent, GP-owned general practice founded in 1995 by Dr Wendell Rosevear OAM in partnership with the Queensland AIDS Council, headquartered at 52 Newmarket Road, Windsor, Brisbane. The practice was established during the HIV/AIDS epidemic to provide non-judgmental, inclusive healthcare to Brisbane's LGBTQIA+ community and has since expanded into a comprehensive general practice serving a broader demographically diverse patient base. Its core clinical team includes approximately 11 practitioners across general practice, sexual health, HIV medicine, gender affirming care, voluntary assisted dying, nutrition, psychotherapy, and counselling, with all GPs accredited as s100 HIV prescribers.

The business operates a mixed billing model across an extensive service portfolio: general practice consultations, specialised sexual health (including bulk-billed FAST STI Testing on Monday and Thursday evenings), HIV management, PrEP/PEP, gender affirming care, men's and women's health, children's health, skin cancer medicine, voluntary assisted dying, sex worker health, performance and image enhancing drugs (PIEDs) support, and preventative health. The practice hosts two long-running community support groups (MARS and GLADS) and maintains strategic partnerships with Queensland AIDS Council, Respect Inc, and several technology vendors (Best Practice clinical software, AutoMed and HotDoc booking platforms, Medical Objects secure messaging, QML Pathology, and AI scribe tools Heidi, Lyrebird, and MBS Pro, plus Facere AI for document routing). Its technology stack is built on standard Australian GP infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms, with AI deployed primarily for clinician productivity (scribes) and document triage.

The practice makes money primarily through Medicare-billed and privately billed GP consultations, with billing rates set independently by each clinician. Revenue is generated from a high-volume, long-tail individual patient base with no enterprise customer dependence. The practice is currently expanding: a new Fortitude Valley site is scheduled to open in June–July 2026 to absorb clinicians and patients from the closing Holdsworth House Medical Brisbane. The practice remains independently owned (no disclosed PE/VC funding), with strategic decisions concentrated among partner GPs.
