Dr Madeleine Strach

Dr Madeleine Strach is a highly dedicated Medical Oncologist who specialises in the treatment of rare and complex cancers. Based in Camperdown, Australia, she provides compassionate, evidence-based care to patients navigating challenging diagnoses. Dr Strach has a particular clinical focus on bone and soft tissue tumours, also known as sarcomas, as well as appendiceal and urological tumours. Her clinical approach is deeply rooted in multidisciplinary care, collaborating closely with other specialists to design personalised treatment plans that address the unique needs of each patient.

In addition to her clinical practice, Dr Strach is actively involved in cutting-edge oncology research and clinical trials. She is passionate about translational research, which aims to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and bedside patient care, particularly for rare malignancies that historically lack extensive treatment options. As a Clinical Senior Lecturer, she contributes to the education of future medical professionals. Her commitment to advancing the field of oncology is further demonstrated by her participation in international research fellowships, where she has focused on identifying novel therapies and improving clinical outcomes for patients with complex abdominal conditions.

Dr Strach completed her medical training, earning a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery alongside a Bachelor of Medical Science, at the University of Melbourne in 2010. She went on to complete her advanced specialist training, achieving Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in Medical Oncology in 2017. Committed to continuous learning, she obtained a Master of Public Health with a focus on biostatistics and epidemiology in 2020, followed by a Doctor of Philosophy in 2024, both from the University of Sydney. Dr Strach is an active member of several professional organisations, including the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Medical Oncology Group of Australia.
