As an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, a mother of three, and a mentor to many, Dr Kate Walsh understands the challenges women face and is passionate about enabling women to live happy and healthy lives. Both in medicine and in life, she makes it her mission to empower the women around her to make their own choices. Choosing their birth, choosing to control their periods and choosing what symptoms they are happy with and which they are not. As a previous head of unit at the Lyell McEwin and past RANZCOG state chair she has a passion for health economics and ensure cost effective efficient access to care for all women. However with the launch of her new rooms, east O+G, on the parade in late 2023 she has reduced her public FTE and is now focusing most of her time in private practice and Obstetrics at Burnside Hospital and complex gynaecological surgery.
