Personalised holistic care during one of life’s most important experiences

Dr. Scott Shemer

(he/him)

I believe in individualising every pregnancy journey. From normal to high-risk, I encourage patients and couples to be involved in the decision-making process. I endeavour to provide evidence-based guidance that ultimately allows my patients to make informed choices throughout the entire pregnancy and birth. 

My practice is inclusive of all patients and families wanting to become parents. This is a safe place for everyone, including single parents, partnered couples (heterosexual and members of the LGBTQIA+ community) and gestational surrogates with their intended parents.

Areas of speciality

Education & Experience

I completed my medical degree at The University of Melbourne in 2008 with first class Honours, during which time I received awards for the most outstanding performance in the areas of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Medicine, Surgery and Psychiatry.

Subsequent clinical training was undertaken at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, before I commenced specialty training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, based primarily at The Royal Women’s Hospital. There I completed advanced training in high-risk obstetrics, affirming my particular interest in this field.

During my fellowship years, I held the role of Principal Registrar at The Royal Women’s Hospital and then Sunshine Hospital, consolidating my interest in medical education and mentorship of obstetricians-in-training. 

I have now been in private obstetric practice since obtaining my FRANZCOG at the beginning of 2018. I also hold a public position as a consultant obstetrician at The Royal Women’s Hospital where I am actively involved in the education and training of junior doctors and medical students.
