Dr Melissa Cairns

I live locally and I'm really proud of our team who are working hard to provide a high quality comprehensice medical service to the community.  I'm really excited about the opening of our sister clinic in Mill Park and will be working there as well as our original clinic in Bundoora.

I am very active and enjoy sports medicine, as well as taking a person-centred, non-shaming approach to weight and fitness improvement. ​I like to ensure you are staying as healthy as possible by looking at your preventative health care, diet and lifestyle.

I hold a diploma of obstetrics and gynaecology and have broad experience in women’s health.  I am an advocate for reproductive choices.  I enjoy post partum and breastfeeding care, as well as infant settling and paediatrics. 

Special interests: sports medicine, womens health, childrens health, dermatology including dermatitis, acne, rashes and diagnosis and removal of small skin lesions.  

​When I am not at work I will be tending to my veggie patch, carting the kids around to their various pursuits, riding my bike, or camping in the bush with my family.
