Philosophy of Care

Dr Wong believes rural patients should be able to receive as much of their healthcare as possible within their local community. He aims to provide practical assessment and treatment locally whenever it is safe and appropriate.

He works a two-weeks-on, two-weeks-away roster. During his fortnight in Streaky Bay, his work spans general practice, hospital and emergency care, including around-the-clock on-call coverage for the community.

His time away allows him to recharge, reconnect with loved ones and continue developing his skills through further training and collaboration with other doctors. This helps him return to Streaky Bay rested, focused and able to give his best to his patients and the wider community.

Having seen the challenges of burnout and professional isolation in rural medicine, Dr Wong is committed to building a model of practice that is both dedicated and sustainable. He believes remaining connected with the wider medical community allows him to bring contemporary knowledge, fresh ideas and new skills back to Streaky Bay, while continuing to serve the community for many years to come.
