A large-scale search is under way for a woman who went missing almost two months ago after becoming separated from her husband in Queensland.

Dawn Wells, 70, was last seen near a bus stop on Kingston Road in Logan before 8pm on December 9.

Her husband, George, believed she was walking right behind him when he boarded the bus.

"She was with her husband at the time, but they became separated at the bus stop," Queensland Police's Warren Parker told reporters today.

"George has returned and attempted to locate Dawn, and then, after that, he has made contact with police."

Wells has not been seen or heard from since.

Police said she has not used her GoCard, there is no record of her attending any nearby hospitals, and all reported sightings of her from Hervey Bay down to Melbourne have been ruled out.

Her family is concerned as Dawn has a medical condition that may cause confusion.

"She does have health vulnerabilities, which requires medication and constant medication," Parker said.
