Mahalia Theau

My name is Mahalia Theau and I am a PGY4 doctor who has worked preliminarily in the fields of Emergency, General Surgery and General Medicine. I have experience working in teams as a junior and also in a more supervisory role, as well as treating patients in both acute and more long-term settings. I enjoy working in a team and providing education and support to co-workers and juniors. I also have experience responding to emergency situations and calmly and efficiently organising acute patient care.

• Speaker at the mental health organisation Batyr from 2018-2019.
• Did programs in high schools to education children about mental illness and support structures available to seek help.

• I have a passion for travel and experiencing new cultures. In the last two years I have spent 8 months overseas travelling.
• My favourite experiences in the last two years have been travelling through Papua New Guinea, Tunisia and rural Turkey as they have allowed me to get to know people from a different cultural background and experience completely new cultures, and this is what really makes travelling special for me.
• This travel has prompted me to learn Arabic, as one of my future goals is to travel through the Middle East.
