Dr Shiva Rayar

Dr Shiva Rayar is the quintessential Generalist. He graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine from the University of Newcastle (2007) and then trained as a junior doctor at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney. His performance there was recognised with the award for Senior Resident of the Year in 2010. He then went on to complete his Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and concurrently undertook subspecialty training with the Australasian Society for HIV Medicine in 2013.

As a Specialist General Practitioner Shiva has worked in sexual health, refugee health, indigenous health and emergency medicine. He has also co-facilitated HIV and STI education programmes with the RACGP, ASHM and ACON. During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic he was given the opportunity to work in rural and remote NSW with the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

It is with this diverse breadth of experience that Shiva has laid down roots at Holdsworth House to provide considered and compassionate care for his patients.
