I aim to bring my extensive background and experiences in elite military and sports medicine to your healthcare journey. As a Specialist GP, I enjoy all aspects of medicine, and really enjoy complex medical care, mens health, sports medicine, including concussion and paediatric injuries, and acute injury management. I also enjoy helping people with their weight management journey, as I am also a qualified clinical and sports dietitian. As a former head of one of Australia’s elite Underwater Medicine Unit’s within the Royal Australian Navy, I am happy to conduct all types of Diving Medicals.
