Hello. My name is Rohan Bopage and I live in the beautiful harbour city Sydney in Australia. I am a consultant physician and specialist in infectious diseases and sexual health medicine.ย
My journey in medicine began in Sri Lanka, where I graduated from the University of Colombo. I then gained foundational experience as a junior doctor in the UK's National Health Service before moving to Australia in 2006. Here, I completed my specialist training to become a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and furthered my expertise with a Master's in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine from the University of Sydney.
Today, I work as a Senior Staff Specialist within the Western Sydney Local Health District (NSW Health) and hold an academic appointment as a Clinical Senior Lecturer at the Westmead Clinical School.ย
A core focus of my practice is providing specialised medical care to marginalised communities. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about clinical teaching, research, and contributing to quality improvement and digital health projects.

My work is driven by a deep commitment to healthcare equity and the promotion of community health services for at-risk populations. These services are foundational to a fair health system, providing targeted early intervention and preventative care to marginalised groups who need it most. Engaging in this work is challenging, stimulating, and the source of my greatest professional satisfaction.ย
I am passionate about harnessing the power of digital health to improve healthcare quality and safety. Innovation in our field is often met with resistance, but I believe that clinician-led change is the key to progress. By empowering clinicians on developing new technologies and workflows, we can effectively address the critical challenges in healthcare delivery and create a system that is truly responsive to patient needs.ย
