About Hunter Gastroenterology

Hunter Gastroenterology is the Hunter Region’s leading specialist gastroenterology practice, bringing together independent specialists with expertise across the full breadth of digestive health, liver disease, and pancreatic medicine.

Our specialists hold conjoint appointments at John Hunter Hospital and the University of Newcastle — combining the academic rigour and advanced training of a major tertiary public hospital with the accessibility, continuity, and personalised care of a private specialist setting. Patients benefit from clinicians who are actively embedded in research, training, and clinical innovation, while receiving the responsiveness and attention of a private practice.

We are one of the largest gastroenterology consulting groups in the Hunter Region and the only private practice in the region offering dedicated subspecialist expertise in inflammatory bowel disease, hepatology, and advanced interventional endoscopy — supported by a fully integrated multidisciplinary care team.
