Stephen Tobin grew up in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and attended the University of Melbourne, graduating MBBS in 1981. He continued his training at St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne, and completed a residency in General Surgery, obtaining FRACS in 1989. During this time he gained extensive experience in gastro-intestinal and breast surgery. In 1989 and 1990 he worked as a senior registrar in the Cambridge/Ipswich system in eastern England. One of these years was spent doing colorectal surgery entirely and apart from extensive experience in acute and major operations, he developed specific skills in the management of rectal prolapse (Delorme operation) and in the management of ulcerative colitis (W pouch operation).

Upon returning to Australia in 1991 he practised successfully in Canberra for a year. In 1992 he commenced in Ballarat and subsequently developed a practice known as Central Highlands Surgeons. This practice expanded subsequently over several years with the addition of other surgeons most recently in 2014.
