Dr Lisa Shelley
General Physician
Dr Shelley is a dual-trained specialist in Addiction Medicine and Internal Medicine (General Physician), with a clinical background that uniquely positions her to manage complex and multidimensional cases across physical health, mental health, and substance use domains.
She completed three years of Basic Physician Training across the Sunshine Coast and Mater Hospital Brisbane, followed by three years of Advanced Training in Adult General and Acute Care Medicine through Mater Brisbane and the Gold Coast. She then undertook a further two years of Advanced Training in Addiction Medicine at Gold Coast University Hospital and Currumbin Clinic. This makes her the only physician in Queensland — and one of very few nationally — with formal specialist qualifications in both Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine.
Dr Shelley has extensive experience in Psychiatry, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, and Acute Care Medicine, allowing her to bring a well-rounded and holistic approach to complex patient care.
