Dr Ian 

GP | Ian Olszewski

MBBS FRACGP

he/him

I want to see people empowered in their health. 

I want to be a point of difference in a system that doesn't show up for everyone equally. I'm listening, I'm learning and I'm here to support people achieve 'their' best health. 

When I'm not at the surgery you'll find me growing veggies with my partner & kiddo, hitting up the best vegan food Perth has to offer, and/or sticking a random handstand :)

Dr Mel

 

GP | Melinda Joseph

MD FRACGP

she/her

I became a GP because I love the diversity and rewarding experience of making a difference in people's lives — from preventative care, to helping manage chronic conditions, paediatrics to reproductive health — it sometimes looks like wearing many hats, but really it's all just one: patient-centred healthcare. I aim to be an attentive and thoughtful GP that is able to collaborate and find pathways that fit my patients best to  make a real difference to their lives.

 

My passions outside of medicine are gardening, bouldering, and hitting up one of the many stunning trails Perth has to offer.

Dr Yuliya

GP | Yuliya Novytska

MD FRACGP

Certificate of skin cancer medicine

she/they

I am passionate about many aspects of healthcare with additional interest in skin health (skin checks and skin cancer management), as well as LGBTQIA+/gender-affirming healthcare, and chronic disease management. Before moving to Perth, I had the privilege to serve as a GP to many patients in rural/regional communities in WA and find the diversity of people I get to support as a GP such a rewarding and welcoming experience.

 

Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my kid and partner, doing volunteer revegetation and maintenance bushland/wetland projects, taking part in a variety of fantasy and sci-fi hobbies with my friends, and learning to garden.

Dr Sam

GP | Samuel Ognenis

MBBS FRACGP MPH ClinDipPallMed

he/him

I’m a passionate GP with a huge love of learning, teaching, and gaining a person-centred understanding of various underserved communities. While a lot of medicine focusses only on physical disease management, I am also a huge advocate of supporting people's mental health as a crucial element of whole-body health.  Some communities I am particularly passionate and experienced working with are: ADHD folk, those with eating disorders, in palliative care, and/or navigating chronic conditions. I am also an approved provider of Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTOP) and Yellow Fever travel vaccination.

 

Outside of medicine you’ll find me out on the hunt for Perth’s best cold brew, supporting Freo Dockers, decompressing over boardgames and hanging with my fur-child.

Dr Cam

GP Registrar | Campbell Harter

MBBS

he/him

I love that as GPs we have the privilege to know our patients as people, alongside their medical needs. After 3 years working at Fiona Stanley and Fremantle Hospitals, I am loving the shift to working at a community level, doing the preventative-care I am so passionate  about. I am particularly committed to preventative care for young people because when we can help the kids be the best they can be, it sets them up for al lifetime of wellbeing and that’s what being a doctor is all about for me. 

 

In my downtime outside of work, I also love a cosy board game night with friends, eating a spicy meal, or keeping active at the gym.

Dr Nas

GP Registrar | Nasreen Mustapha

MBBS 

she/her

Unlike other areas of medicine, I particularly love that being a GP allows me to provide longitudinal care for patients — to really get to know and support people to navigate their personal health needs and to navigate the greater healthcare system. I love working with kids, and feel really passionate about setting them up well from the get go. At the same time I’m equally invested in chronic disease management and have great empathy for the complexities that come with living with chronic conditions. 

 

When I’m not in the surgery I enjoy travelling, baking and making some odd-shaped pottery.
