Richard comes from a family of doctors, which made medicine an obvious choice for a young man who enjoyed science and people. It’s given Richard a job he really likes and the chance to work with people he admires and appreciates. Richard discovered Eltham Clinic in 1995, having been lucky enough to have already worked at four fabulous clinics. Still, they didn’t get close to what he found at Eltham—shared values, and a happy, supportive workplace, staffed by good people who are fun to be around and great at their jobs. Richard has also worked as a relief locum in Aboriginal health centres in WA, a practice he is looking to resume now his three sons have finished school. Outside work, Richard’s main interest is his family, particularly raising his three boys into fine young men who share their father’s love of the great outdoors. Richard has hiked the Kokoda Trail and walked the Overland Track in Tasmania. His patients will know about another of his passions—landscape photography—from the rotating collection hanging on the walls of his room. Closer to home, Richard lives 15 minutes from work and can be found at the weekends cycling and walking, heading to the MCG to watch the footy or cricket, or looking for out-of-the-way restaurants and back-street galleries. Richard also enjoys reading—he belongs to two book clubs—and writing, a skill he hones as a volunteer biographer for Eastern Palliative Care.
