She/her

Andrea is a compassionate and approachable doctor who enjoys nurturing lifelong therapeutic relationships with her patients.

She graduated in Medicine from Monash University in 2003, after which she trained at regional and metro hospitals.

Andrea gained her Fellowship from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2008.

Having practised at a well-known medical practice in South Yarra for the past 12 years, Andrea has built a reputation for understanding the healthcare needs of our community.

She’s renowned for advocating for women’s well-being at every stage of their lives and is a highly skilled practitioner in pregnancy and shared antenatal care.

Her non-judgmental and easygoing bedside manner helps patients relax and tackle whatever the universe throws at them together.

Andrea also holds additional qualifications in skin cancer medicine from the University of Queensland and continually stays up to date on advancements in this field.

Her attention to detail and comprehensive examination skills are vital for the early detection of all types of skin cancer.

As a fierce advocate for work-life balance, Andrea loves spending time with her awesome kids when she’s not working.

She takes on new hobbies with gusto and can sail a boat, ride a motorbike, knit, and crochet. However, she can’t catch a ball to save herself and only cooks against her will.
