Career

Dr Hamish Gray graduated from Otago University (New Zealand) in 2000. He spent 4 years working towards being accepted into the orthopaedic training program via experience, references and research. After seven years of training he obtained his specialist general orthopaedic qualification, FACS(Ortho), in Queensland in 2010.

​During his general orthopaedic training Dr Hamish Gray developed a passion and aptitude for hip and knee surgery. His dedication to provide the highest standard of care and learn from internationally renowned surgeons led him to complete these 4 extra sub-speciality fellowships.

Twelve years later, he is now a trusted and highly respected surgeon. He is often referred highly complex cases from other surgeons.

Dr Gray returned to Queensland in 2012 to work as a specialist orthopaedic surgeon. He moved with his family in 2014 to the Sunshine Coast and has worked publicly since 2014 holding Director and Deputy Director positions. He maintains a public appointment as a Senior Staff Specialist as he believes public patients need to receive high quality care when they present critically injured or with complex issues. This also means he continues to use his general orthopaedic skills.
