Following his Army service, Bruce spent over 20 years as a family doctor around Brisbane and Redcliffe. During this period he was involved in a range of charities and community groups, reflecting his on-going commitment to the community.
Bruce also believes in the opportunity for all Australians to 'make a go' of things. His keen interest in business recently led him to pursue further study in the field of commerce and business.
Bruce feels privileged for having had the opportunity to represent the people in his electorate for a second term and is always keen to hear the concerns of the people he represents.
