Dr Nam Anavekar is a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon who consults in Sunbury at Goonawarra Medical Centre, making specialist plastic surgical assessment available to patients in Melbourne’s north-west without travelling into the city.

Where to find us in Sunbury
Goonawarra Medical Centre
1–5 Dornoch Drive, Sunbury VIC 3429
Dr Anavekar consults at Goonawarra Medical Centre on scheduled days, approximately once a fortnight. Because consulting days vary, please phone the rooms on
03 9075 0005 to check the next available appointment.
Our reception team manages all appointments and enquiries for both locations. Bookings are not made through Goonawarra Medical Centre’s own reception.
Serving Melbourne’s north-west
Sunbury consulting rooms make specialist plastic surgical care accessible to patients across the north-west, including Gisborne, Macedon, Riddells Creek, Diggers Rest, Bulla and the surrounding Macedon Ranges — without the travel time into central Melbourne.
If you would prefer to be seen sooner, or on a day that suits you better, Dr Anavekar also consults at her main rooms in
Bulleen. Both locations are managed by the same team, and your care is continuous between them.
About Dr Nam Anavekar

Some of these procedures may attract a Medicare rebate where specific clinical criteria are met. This is discussed during your consultation.
Referrals and Medicare
A referral from your GP or another specialist is generally required to see Dr Anavekar, and is a government requirement for any Medicare rebate to apply. A referral from a GP is valid for 12 months; a referral from another specialist is valid for three months.
If you are unsure whether your situation is likely to attract a rebate, our reception team can talk you through what to ask your GP.
Where surgery takes place
Consultations take place in Sunbury or Bulleen. Dr Anavekar operates primarily at Warringal Private Hospital in Heidelberg and St Vincent’s Hospital in Kew. Which hospital is used depends on the procedure and will be discussed with you before any surgery is booked.
All surgery carries risks, and these are explained in detail during your consultation so that you can make an informed decision.
