Council Regional Representative – Western Region

Dr Sue Baillie is a rural practitioner who has been practising on the Eyre Peninsula since 1986. Her special interests include obstetrics and women’s health, procedural general practice and teaching medical students.

She currently works part-time for the Spencer Gulf Rural Health School as a clinical lecturer. She has held voluntary positions on the hospital Boards at both Cleve and Port Lincoln and has worked as the ‘principal medical officer’ of the Port Lincoln Hospital and Health Services. Having worked in both small and large practices, full-time and part-time over the years, she is in an excellent position to understand the issues facing both rural practice and general practice.

Dr Baillie loves medicine for the fact that it involves life-long learning, and she also welcomes the interactions her work involves with patients and their families during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, which create a very special relationship which she finds a privilege to have. Outside of medicine, she loves to paint and be creative, but finds it hard to find the time, and she also enjoys keeping fit.
