Federal Queensland MP Teresa Gambaro has announced she will not recontest her seat of Brisbane.

Ms Gambaro, a Liberal National Party MP, said she had come to the decision "after much consideration" about ending her political career.

"The time has come to be available to my family and to pursue other opportunities," she said in a statement.

"I want to sincerely thank the constituents of Brisbane for not only electing me in 2010, but also returning me resoundingly in 2013.
