💥Welcome to the team Dr Joe Harris 💥
Dr Joe has called Dubbo home for the past seven years, having first arrived as a medical student at the University of Sydney. After completing his medical training, Joe continued working at Dubbo Base Hospital before commencing his career in general practice. He has since gained experience across both private general practice and Aboriginal community-controlled health, further strengthening his commitment to providing high-quality care in rural and regional communities. Having grown up in Armidale and with a strong connection to rural Australia, Joe is passionate about continuing to build his career in Dubbo and contributing to the community he has come to know and love.
Joe is warm, approachable and committed to providing compassionate, patient-centred care. He values getting to know his patients over time and building long-term relationships. He enjoys the breadth and variety of general practice and takes a holistic approach to healthcare, recognising the many factors that influence a person's physical and mental wellbeing, including the unique challenges faced by people living in rural areas. Joe holds a Master of Public Health and has a strong interest in preventative health. His areas of interest include mental health, men's and women's health, sexual health and preventative healthcare. He is particularly passionate about encouraging men to take a proactive approach to their health and supporting patients to engage with healthcare early, rather than waiting until problems arise.
Outside of medicine, Joe enjoys keeping active through the gym, running and swimming, playing guitar and piano, spending time with friends at local cafes, and being involved in his local church. He also enjoys travelling, exploring new places, and attempting the occasional New York Times crossword or Sudoku.
Please help us share a warm and happy welcome to the Health Hub. We are so excited to have you as part of the team 🥳
