Dr Gabriel James

Gabriel’s passion has always been supporting women through one of life’s most profound journeys, bringing a baby into the world in a safe, secure, and empowering environment. Equally, he’s deeply committed to offering clear, thoughtful, and thorough care pathways for gynaecological health. At the heart of his practice is a strong belief in listening to each woman’s needs and providing holistic, personalised care that respects her wishes and values.

Before entering medicine, Gabriel worked as a scientist in biotechnology and pharmaceutical development. He later completed his medical degree at the University of Sydney in 2010 on an academic scholarship. His early training in obstetrics and gynaecology began at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in 2012, followed by a diploma in the field on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. In 2013, he followed his heart (and the sunshine) to Queensland, where he began his specialist training.

Over the past decade, Gabriel has worked in some of Australia’s busiest tertiary maternity hospitals, including the Gold Coast University Hospital and the Mater Mothers’ Hospital. He has cared for many women with high-risk pregnancies, as well as those seeking a low-intervention, natural birthing experience. He’s passionate about offering
individualised care, whether complex or straightforward, with calm reassurance and clinical excellence.

Outside of work, Gabriel is a keen surfer and a hands-on dad who loves building things with his kids. He’s also spent seven summers volunteering his medical and construction skills in places such as Fiji, the Philippines, Tonga, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, and remote Indigenous communities across Australia.

Warm, approachable, and calm in a crisis (according to his wife and four children!), Gabriel finds deep joy in walking alongside women and families during their most significant life moments.
