ABOUT Dr. Zia Hoque

Dr Hoque: A Healing Hand & A Listening Heart

Dr Hoque is more than a dedicated General Practitioner; he is a compassionate presence who has been tending to the health and wellbeing of Australians since 2008. His journey in medicine has taken him through hospitals, community clinics, and practices across the diverse landscapes of New South Wales—including Newcastle, Tamworth, Armidale, Maitland, Morisset, Taree and Harrington. 

The Art of Empathy: To Dr Hoque, medicine is a profound privilege that allows him to explore the beautiful intricacies of the human soul—its complexities, its quiet sufferings, and its enduring triumphs. Known for his warm empathy and gentle, self-effacing humour, he builds deep, trusting relationships with his patients. Whether you are seeking routine care or navigating a complex health journey, he is dedicated to understanding your unique story and providing evidence-based, unwavering support.

A Commitment to the Greater Good: His desire to heal extends far beyond his own clinic. As an RACGP-accredited supervisor, Dr Hoque finds great joy in mentoring junior doctors, helping them reach their full potential. A humanitarian at heart, he has volunteered his expertise with Save the Children, the Fred Hollows Foundation, and UNICEF, holding a profound reverence for all who dedicate their lives to easing human suffering.

Embracing the Australian Spirit: Since finding his home here and proudly becoming a citizen in 2009, Dr Hoque has wholeheartedly embraced the Australian way of life. He treasures the deeply rooted culture of “mateship” and is continually humbled by the quiet kindness of strangers. His life’s work is an ongoing dedication to these local communities, striving to foster their prosperity and wellbeing for years to come.

The Man Behind the Stethoscope: Outside the clinic walls, Dr Hoque is a man of vibrant passions that keep him grounded, inspired, and creatively fulfilled:

  • A Lover of Stories: A voracious reader and avid audiobook listener, he frequently travels through time and space, losing himself in the rich tapestries of historical literature and the boundless, imaginative worlds of science fiction.
  • An Observer of Nature: As a dedicated wildlife photographer, he finds peace behind the lens. Armed with sophisticated mirrorless systems, medium-format cameras, and specialised telephoto lenses, he has a keen eye for capturing the fleeting, quiet artistry of the natural world.
  • An Enthusiastic Foodie: He delights in the shared joy of a beautifully prepared meal, constantly seeking out authentic, global flavours—with a special fondness for the culinary traditions of Japan, Italy, India, and Turkey.
