I am also an accredited sub-specialist in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) from the RCOG, London and a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

I have a PhD in the pelvic floor from the University of New South Wales (2012) and a Diploma in Child Health (2004).
