Dr Achala Manchanda

GENERAL PRACTITIONER
MBChB, FRACGP, Dip Child Health

Achala is a kind-hearted, caring, and sympathetic GP who loves all aspects of general practice. Her special interests include:

• Women’s health
• Pregnancy care and shared care
• Kid’s health
• Sexual health
• Chronic and complex health

Achala graduated from New Zealand’s University of Otago in 2011 and has been practising in Melbourne since 2016. She gained a wealth of experience working in hospitals across NZ, yet it’s the human side of medicine she enjoys most about being a GP.

Achala absolutely loves seeing kids, so much so she’s gained additional qualifications with a Diploma in Child Health, awarded with distinction.

She offers patients pregnancy shared care, as well as insertion/removal of Implanon contraceptive devices. Achala is also a certified provider of medical pregnancy terminations.

Achala also performs skin checks and has a Certificate in Dermoscopy from the Australasian College of Dermatologists.

She keeps busy outside of work playing the piano, staying fit, and gardening. Importantly, Achala is on a serious mission to find Melbourne’s best gelato – results pending.
