Coronavirus update: Melbourne Hand Surgery has mechanisms to protect our patients and staff while we continue to provide healthcare services. All consultations are now conducted via telehealth (phone or videoconference), except where we have previously confirmed the requirement for an in-person physical examination or wound care management. Only emergency surgery is being conducted in hospitals for the foreseeable future, in keeping with Government directives. Practice Staff

Administrative Staff
- Mikaela Broadbent
Mikaela is from East Gippsland and she has completed her Diploma of Nursing at ACU and wishes to continue with the Bachelor of Nursing in the coming years, and work in wound care management. When Mikaela isn’t working she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading, travelling, and trying out local cafes and restaurants. - Kelly Fraietta
Kelly believes that a medical receptionist's role is to provide quality customer service with compassion, understanding and efficiency. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Kelly has over 10 years of customer service experience with a background in management. Being a part of a European family she is very family oriented; it is the core of who she is and what she does. Kelly loves engaging with people of all ages and walks of life. She can generally be found curled up with a book or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Kelly is an ambitious person who goes above and beyond for all around her. She values respect, hard work and honesty. - Elizabeth Northover
Elizabeth made her move from Gippsland to Melbourne in 2015 to undertake her Bachelors in Biomedical Science at Deakin and her Graduate Diploma in Reproductive Sciences at Monash shortly after. Since completing her courses, she has been keen to take some time away from studying and put her all into developing both her career and her personal skills. Elizabeth enjoys taking advantage of new opportunities to learn and to put her passion for Health & Science to use by providing high quality patient care. When Elizabeth finds some free time between her two jobs, she likes to spend it socialising, exploring what Melbourne has to offer and visiting her family back in Gippsland.
