A/Prof Martin Healey

He completed his specialty training in both Australia and the UK before completing an advanced laparoscopy fellowship at The Mercy Hospital for Women. In addition to his private practice, he is also a consultant gynaecologist at The Royal Women’s Hospital and an Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Melbourne.

Having completed his doctorate on endometriosis pain, Martin maintains a special interest in fertility issues related to this condition. He enjoys talking to patients, describing this as one of the most rewarding aspects of his career: “Everyone is different, so I get these incredible glimpses into people’s lives and the rich variety of experiences they go through. I find it very fulfilling to take people through the full journey of care – whether it be trying for pregnancy or helping with gynaecological problems – and making it as clear and un-scary as possible for them.”

Outside the clinic, Martin is a father of four children, a keen sports enthusiast and supporter of the Melbourne Demons. He also enjoys reading science fiction and fantasy novels, completing amateur woodwork projects, and playing with numbers and statistics (perhaps we should call him Good Will Hunting?).
