Cameron could have ended up working at Treasury, after graduating from Melbourne University with an honours degree in Commerce, but he chose to go back to study something that would allow him to help people more directly. Medicine—particularly general practice—has given him the opportunity to do what he most loves, which is hearing people’s stories and helping them. “There’s never a dull day, and it’s always stimulating.”
Cameron completed his Bachelor of Medicine with Honours in 2002 from Newcastle University. He obtained his Fellowship in General Practice in 2006.
Cameron appreciates being free to practise medicine the way it ought to be practised—working together with patients on the best treatment for them. If he hadn’t specialised in general practice, Cameron would most likely have chosen obstetrics, because antenatal care is one of the areas of practice he enjoys most.
Cameron runs half marathons, which makes it surprising that he drives the short distance to work. A father of three, he’s grateful for what Eltham has to offer younger children. He loves taking his son and daughters camping, hiking, and plane spotting at the Tullamarine perimeter fence.
