Overview
Dr Margaret Mary Cotter received a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from University of Queensland in 1986. Dr Cotter opened her first private practice in Nundah in 1995 at the current site of the Nundah Woolworths. In 2004, as her practice grew, she re-located further down Sandgate Road. In 2017 Dr Cotter decided that her and her medical colleagues practice had again out grown their location. In response to feedback about difficulties with parking and access, Dr Cotter established a new state of the art family medical practice on Bilsen Road at Wavell Heights.
Dr Cotter designed her new practice with her patients in mind, balancing the need for the provision of medical expertise and new technology along with a welcoming and comfortable environment with easy access and parking.
Dr Cotter is the eldest daughter of Dr Timothy John Cotter MBE. Dr Tim Cotter is remembered in the history of medicine in Australia as having solved the mystery of ‘Cane cutters fever’ which caused deaths and serious illness throughout North Queensland in the 1930’s. He identified the illness as leptospirosis. Dr Cotter’s research, which was published in 1934, led to the burning of the sugar cane and saved countless lives and the burgeoning sugar industry in Queensland. For this work and his years as a medical practitioner and surgeon in Innisfail, he was awarded an MBE by the Queen in 1962. She is a highly qualified GP in Wavell Heights who is committed to providing comprehensive and holistic care to her patients.
Dr Margaret Cotter was inspired by her father and consults from his desk watched over by his photo, with her medical degree alongside his. Dr Cotter, like her father believes in the importance of a general practitioner working within and being part of their community.
