In September 2021, she relocated to Central Queensland, bringing her wealth of experience and dedication to the Yeppoon Family Practice.
Currently undertaking advanced training toward her Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), Dr Padmaperuma has a keen interest in all aspects of general practice. Her compassionate, patient-centered approach encompasses a wide range of health concerns, ensuring patients feel supported and cared for at every stage of their journey.
