dR cHIK cHUA
Dr Chik Chua has been a familiar face at Lister House Medical Centre since 2011, providing family-centred care that spans generations.
Born and raised in Malaysia, Dr Chua completed his schooling there before moving to Australia in 2001. After undertaking a foundation year at Monash University, he began medical school in 2003 and graduated in 2008. He completed his internship at GV Health from 2009 to 2010 before joining Lister House, where he remains a valued partner today.
Initially focused on acute paediatric care, Dr Chua has expanded his practice to family medicine, building long-term relationships with patients, from newborns to great-grandparents.
“One family I see spans four generations,” he said. “That kind of continuity is so rewarding. When you know a family well, you understand their history and can focus on what matters most to them.”
In recent years, Dr Chua has developed a growing interest in aged care and palliative care, reflecting his commitment to whole-of-life healthcare.
Together with his wife, Dr Lang Lang Yii, also a GP at Lister House, he shares a vision of providing comprehensive, compassionate care to the Shepparton community. Originally planning to stay for only a year, they soon realised the region offered everything they were looking for—both professionally and personally.
Dedicated to supporting the next generation of doctors, Dr Chua supervises GP registrars and collaborates with senior colleagues to help address the ongoing challenge of recruiting and retaining medical professionals in regional Australia.

His great love is hockey and he has represented Victoria for the last 10 years in the Australian Masters Championships and has played all over Australia. He loves to travel and he loves bushwalking and camping in the bush.
Dr Lang Lang Yii
A cornerstone of Lister House Medical Centre since 2012, Dr Lang Lang Yii has built a career defined by compassion, professionalism, and a genuine connection with her patients.
Originally from Malaysia, Dr Yii moved to Australia after finishing high school and studied medicine at Monash University. She completed her internship and residency at GV Health alongside her husband, Dr Chik Chua, before undertaking GP training at Lister House, where she has now practised for more than a decade.
“Coming from a small village, I was inspired by local GP clinics growing up,” she said. “Primary care is where patients feel truly supported. When that happens, it reduces pressure on hospitals and builds healthier communities.”
Dr Yii’s areas of focus include women’s health, family medicine, and aged care, though she proudly describes herself as doing “a bit of everything.” A passionate teacher, she mentors new doctors pursuing GP training and advocates for lifelong learning within the profession.
Outside the clinic, Dr Yii is an avid runner who completed her first marathon three years ago and fits in smaller runs whenever possible. She also enjoys cooking, travelling, and spending time with her two sons, aged 13 and 8.
Reflecting on her time at Lister House, Dr Yii said, “When patients are unwell, they think of you first. That level of trust and continuity is the most rewarding part of general practice.”
