Shinta Tjandra

Born in Surabaya, Indonesia, and raised in Jakarta and Singapore, I completed my Master's in Paediatrics and Child Health at the University of Melbourne in 2002. I undertook basic physician training in paediatrics with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and worked for 13 years across major tertiary hospitals — including the Royal Children's, Royal Women's, Monash Medical Centre, Box Hill, Maroondah and Angliss.

My paediatric background spans acute newborn and emergency care in hospital, and continuity of care in the community for children and adolescents with chronic illness, disability, allergies, dermatology, and developmental and behavioural needs.

As a Fellow of the RACGP, I enjoy every aspect of general practice. Outside the clinic I love travelling, painting, singing, songwriting, time with family and serving in my church community.
