How it works

01

Book online

Book a new patient consult through HotDoc. Not sure yet if I’m the right fit? Request a 5-minute meet and greet video chat first.

02

Your first appointment

45 minutes by FaceTime or WhatsApp video. Enough time to properly review your health, discuss what’s important to you and make a plan.

03

Ongoing care

Together we’ll work out a follow-up schedule that best supports your healthcare. Between appointments, regular patients can request routine prescriptions and referrals online through HotDoc.

Areas of interest

Women’s health

Supporting women through all stages of life, including contraception, STI screening, menopause care, endometriosis, PMOS (previously PCOS) and broader reproductive health. I aim to create a comfortable, non-judgemental space where you feel confident discussing your health.

Weight management

Weight is complex and there is rarely a single solution that works for everyone. I provide evidence-based medical care, including assessment of the medical, metabolic and lifestyle factors that may be contributing. This can include medication alongside nutrition, exercise and sustainable lifestyle strategies.

Ongoing ADHD care

Helping adults understand how ADHD can impact daily life, work, relationships and overall wellbeing. If you already have an ADHD specialist and an established treatment plan, I can take over prescribing where appropriate. I don’t currently provide initial ADHD diagnosis or start stimulant medication.

Comprehensive GP care

A holistic and preventative approach to general practice, including personalised, ongoing care for insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. I can arrange pathology, imaging and referrals to specialists as part of your care.

Longer appointments give us the time to properly review your health, discuss what’s important to you and make a plan without feeling rushed.

Once you’ve had an appointment with me, you can request routine prescriptions and referrals online through HotDoc without needing to book another consultation.

As my practice operates via a virtual care model, most appointments do not attract a Medicare rebate. There are some circumstances where a virtual consultation may be eligible for a Medicare rebate, such as certain mental health care services. If this applies to you, I’ll discuss it with you.

To make payment as easy as possible for my patients, my clinic uses Stripe payments. Your card details are securely recorded at the time of booking, and the consultation fee will be processed at the end of our consultation.

I believe in comprehensive, holistic medicine.

Good general practice is about more than solving one problem at a time. It’s about having a doctor who knows you, understands your health over time, and can help you make decisions with the bigger picture in mind.

Rather than having lots of short appointments throughout the year, I’d prefer to see you two to three times a year and use that time to look at your health as a whole. That might include your current concerns and medications, but also preventative health, cancer screening, cardiovascular and metabolic health, mental health, lifestyle and anything else that’s important to your long-term wellbeing.

The goal isn’t simply to treat illness. It’s to help you stay healthy for longer.

I grew up in Toowoomba and trained on the Gold Coast, starting my medical career at Gold Coast University Hospital. During the COVID-19 pandemic I worked as a community telehealth doctor and palliative care registrar for rural and remote communities, and that experience led me to General Practice, where I’ve found my true calling.

Until recently I practised in Brisbane. I’m now practising exclusively in a virtual care model, so I can continue to care for my patients wherever life takes us.

Frequently asked questions

If your question isn’t here, the meet and greet is the easiest place to ask it.

Can I get a Medicare rebate?

Generally, no. As my practice operates via a virtual care model, most appointments do not attract a Medicare rebate. This model also gives us much more flexibility, including being able to continue your care even if you’re travelling or living away from home. There are some circumstances where a service may be eligible for a Medicare rebate, such as certain mental health care services. If this applies to you, I’ll discuss it with you.

Why don’t you offer short appointments?

I believe in comprehensive, holistic medicine. Rather than having lots of short appointments throughout the year, I’d prefer to see you two to three times a year and use that time to look at your health as a whole. That might include your current concerns and medications, but also preventative health, cancer screening, cardiovascular and metabolic health, mental health, lifestyle and anything else important to your long-term wellbeing. Of course, you can book additional appointments whenever you need them.

How do video appointments work?

I use FaceTime or WhatsApp video for appointments. There’s no complicated video platform to log into. I’ll contact you directly at your appointment time.

Can you look after me if I’m outside Australia?

Yes. One of the reasons I created my practice this way is so that I can continue to be your GP wherever you are. Whether you’re travelling, working interstate or spending time overseas, we can stay connected. There may occasionally be limitations around prescriptions, investigations or services depending on where you are located, and I’ll let you know if this affects your care.

What if I just need a script or referral?

Once you’ve had an appointment with me, you can request routine prescriptions and referrals online through HotDoc without needing to book another consultation. I do ask that I continue to see you at least twice a year for your regular health reviews so I can continue to prescribe safely and remain up to date with your health. Some requests may still require an appointment if I need more information or think we should discuss something first.

Do you diagnose ADHD or start ADHD medication?

No. I don’t currently provide initial ADHD diagnosis or initiation of stimulant medication. If you already have an ADHD specialist and an established treatment plan, I can provide ongoing GP care and take over prescribing where appropriate. If your ADHD medication or treatment plan needs a significant change, I may ask you to have a review with your specialist first.

How do I know if you’re the right GP for me?

Choosing a GP is personal, and it’s important that we’re a good fit. I offer a complimentary 5-minute meet and greet so we can briefly introduce ourselves, you can ask any questions about how I practise, and you can decide whether you’d like to book an initial appointment.

What types of patients do you see?

I provide general practice care and particularly enjoy working with patients who want a GP who knows them well and takes a longer-term view of their health. My particular areas of interest include weight and metabolic health, diabetes, women’s health, ADHD ongoing care, preventative health, healthy ageing and longevity. At this stage I am only available to see adult patients (18 years and over).

Can you organise blood tests, scans and specialist referrals?

Yes. I can arrange pathology, imaging and referrals to specialists as part of your care. We can then review your results together and decide on the next steps.

What if the appointment time I need isn’t available online?

Please contact me directly. I deliberately keep my practice flexible, so if the available appointment times don’t work for you, I’ll do my best to find another time.

What if I need urgent medical care?

My practice isn’t an emergency or urgent-care service. If you have a medical emergency, please call 000 or attend your nearest emergency department. For problems that need assessment urgently or require a physical examination, I may recommend that you see a local GP or urgent care service in person.
