Dr Challis Paterson brings a fresh perspective to the field of General Practice -

As a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP), Challis combines conventional medical expertise with an integrative understanding of health needs across all aspects of life.

Challis' approach recognises that optimal health encompasses an entire lifestyle - nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, nervous system regulation, light exposure, social connection and natural cycles. Her philosophy focuses on addressing root causes rather than managing symptoms, leading to meaningful patient outcomes.

Challis completed a Bachelor of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences from the University of Queensland, followed by her Doctor of Medicine. Her public healthcare experience focused on paediatrics and paediatric surgery, providing her a comprehensive understanding of health across different life stages.

Challis understands knowledge can be freeing, thus patient education is a cornerstone of her practice, empowering patients to be proactive and autonomous in their health journey.
