Hi! I’m Dr Eranthi Hettiarachchi

I studied medicine at the University of Queensland and have worked in inpatient hospital departments and emergency departments both regionally and rurally before moving to General Practice. I completed my fellowship in General Practice in 2019. Since moving to General Practice, I have developed my passion for lifestyle medicine and nutrition. I am a member of the Australasian Society for Lifestyle Medicine and am currently working towards my fellowship with the organisation. I am also a supporter of Doctors for Nutrition and have an holistic approach to chronic disease management.

I have undergone additional education in mental health skills and psychological strategies to complement my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I also have a background in Executive Leadership and served on the board for GPRA and have advanced skills in Paediatrics and a Diploma in Child Health.

I was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in the Pacific Islands so I am a strong advocate for culturally aware health practices for all. I have an holistic and evidence based approach to healthcare and believe communication is the key in working with my patients. I encourage patients to have autonomy in their health and want to support my patients in their individual journeys to wellness.

I live with my partner and kids on the Sunshine Coast and in my spare time I enjoy cooking, social time and staying active.
