Q&A with Dr Elysia Robb
What inspired you to become a doctor?

In my previous life, I was a scientist. A handful of my colleagues were medical doctors and

scientists, and I was inspired by the way they thought and what they brought to science – a

practical, applicable and very broad perspective. I like problem solving, and helping people.

In my twenties, doing Honours at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, I helped my grandfather

when he was very unwell, which had a significant impact on my life in science and decision

to pursue a career medicine.

What areas of medicine are you particularly interested in?

Women’s health, pregnancy/antenatal health, mental health, skin medicine and procedures,

palliative care and voluntary assisted dying. Holistic medical care. Chronic disease and

preventative health – diet and lifestyle medicine. I practise Focussed Psychological

Strategies, which enables me to provide more mental health support in GP, than usual

general practise.

What do you enjoy most about being a GP?

Helping my patients and problem solving with them. It’s a privilege to be in a position where

people ask for support, and share very intimate details of their life.

It’s great to be able to serve my local NWM community.

I have made the difficult decision to not consult my friends and family, and I would like to

explain that this is not because I don’t want to help you all. Rather, it is easier for me to

maintain a professional boundary when there is no personal connection to my patients. In

order to do my job properly, I ask a lot of questions – at times this may make you feel

awkward, and at other times, this may make me feel awkward!

What do you like to do in your free time?

I spend time with my kids and partner. I make music, I sing and play guitar. My daughter and

I play music together, and my son and I are in a band together. I dance Latin dance on

occasion. I garden and read.

What is your favourite quote?

This is a hard one. I love musicals, so one quote that comes to mind is from a song in

Hamilton, “and I thought I was so smart”. On the contrary, I also like the quote “put the bunny

back in the box,” you’ll have to look that one up and interpret as you will.
