An experienced GP committed to continuity of care
Dr Ferrabee is a UK-trained GP with more than 10 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and Australia. Having called Sydney home for the past two years, he is proud to have recently become an Australian permanent resident.
He values continuity of care and believes in supporting patients and their families through every stage of life—from important milestones to periods of challenge and uncertainty.
By taking the time to understand each patient’s circumstances and healthcare needs, Dr Ferrabee aims to build trusted, long-term relationships and provide thoughtful, consistent and personalised care.
A focus on men’s health and mental wellbeing
Dr Ferrabee is passionate about men’s health, with a particular focus on preventive healthcare, mental health and general wellbeing.
Regular conversations with a GP can help men better understand their health risks, discuss concerns and access appropriate support. Dr Ferrabee welcomes patients seeking guidance on preventive health, mental wellbeing, ongoing health conditions and other general health concerns.
Travel medicine and Yellow Fever vaccination advice
With a strong personal interest in travel, Dr Ferrabee has developed extensive experience in travel medicine and pre-travel health advice. He is also an accredited Yellow Fever Vaccination Provider.
Patients planning an overseas trip can consult Dr Ferrabee to discuss their destination, itinerary, planned activities, vaccination history and individual health needs. Where appropriate, he can recommend travel vaccinations and other preventive measures to consider before departure.
Travellers are encouraged to arrange a pre-travel consultation well in advance, as some vaccinations may require additional time or multiple doses.
Experience in children’s and adolescent health
Before becoming a GP, Dr Ferrabee worked with the World Health Organization in Switzerland and Malawi, where he contributed to the development of child healthcare policy.
He has also held leadership roles in the United Kingdom advocating for improved access to general practice for adolescents. This experience continues to inform his interest in children’s and adolescent health.
