About Dr Anu Mahadik

Dr Anu Mahadik is an obstetrician and gynaecologist based in Sydney. Her focus is on respectful, experienced and empathic care.

She sees her role as helping you feel informed and supported. As your obstetrician or gynaecologist, she draws on her experience to offer continuous care through your journey, whether that is a pregnancy or a women’s health concern.

Dr Mahadik comes from a family of doctors. Her father was an anatomist who specialised in clinical genetics and set up a network of IVF centres in India. She and her brother grew up in a household focused on medicine and women's health.

Becoming an obstetrician and gynaecologist felt like a natural next step. Caring for mothers and their babies has been part of her life for as long as she can remember, and it remains the work she is grateful to do. Over the years, some families have shared a photo of their baby — you can see them on her Instagram.

Dr Mahadik's career spans three continents.

She completed her MBBS at MGM Medical College in Indore, India. Before beginning her specialist training, she spent a year working in a small rural hospital, caring for people with a wide range of conditions and supporting a birthing centre and antenatal clinic. This allowed her to understand the limitations of practising in a resource-limited setting, and the need and importance of medical services there.

She then earned a Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Obstetrics and Gynaecology through the University of Mumbai, training at KEM and Wadia Hospitals in Mumbai.

Dr Mahadik moved to Australia in 2007. Like all overseas-trained doctors, she worked through the Australian system, which included years of work as a registrar and the RANZCOG fellowship exams. She also sat the UK examinations of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, gaining her MRCOG in 2016. She now holds obstetrics and gynaecology qualifications from India, the UK and Australia.

Dr Mahadik started her private practice in 2020. She believes private practice adds something valuable to your care: continuity. In women's health and obstetrics, it helps to have one specialist who knows your history and stays with you across your care.

She grew up seeing her own father work in the private health sector, and that experience shaped her decision. Her aim is to be a doctor you can build a relationship with over time, so you feel comfortable discussing any concern.
