Ipswich Hospital was the initial training ground for Dr Cumming up until 2002, when his training continued as a Senior House Officer at the Mater Children’s Hospital in Brisbane. He completed his final stages of training as a GP Registrar in 2005, working in Gladstone, where he successfully obtained his Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and recognition as a Specialist General Practitioner, whilst also acting as an Occupational Physician for a local smelter company. He relocated to the Sunshine Coast in 2006, eventually moving to Mackay in 2007.

Dr Cumming has been an integral part of Mackay Health Hub since joining us, notably taking on the role of Lead GP Supervisor whilst maintaining extensive roles in the wider Mackay community, both generally and in health care. Dr Cumming is passionate about chronic disease management and has that special touch with the elderly.

During his scarce downtime, Dr Cumming is a keen lover of spearfishing, free diving and sea kayaking. He is renowned for his obsession with the Queensland Maroons and North Queensland Cowboys and his jovial yet constant torment of any Blues supporters.
