Our Team
Hunter Blood Group is a collegial team of specialist haematologists providing comprehensive blood disorder care. All of our clinicians hold dual fellowships with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA), bringing laboratory expertise alongside clinical practice.
We consult from our rooms in Newcastle West and are accredited at hospitals across the region, including Calvary Mater Newcastle, John Hunter Hospital, Lake Macquarie Private, Newcastle Private, Maitland Private, Forster Private, Tamara Private, and Lingard Private. Chemotherapy can also be delivered at home through chemo@home for privately insured patients. We also consult from rooms in Port Stephens and Tamworth, and offer telehealth consultations where clinically appropriate.
