MBBS, FRACGP, GradDip Child Health

Dr James Kelly

I’m a Sydney-based General Practitioner with a focus on practical, evidence-based care for people managing complex and long-term health needs.

I currently practise at Double Bay Doctors and work as a GP Specialist Advisor at Celery Health Australia. Alongside my clinical work, I’m Deputy Chair of the RACGP NSW/ACT Faculty Council and contribute to NSW Health specialist advisory panels focused on mental health and sexual health.

Before moving into general practice, I spent several years working at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, including roles in critical care and anaesthetics. That experience continues to shape my calm, thorough and practical approach to care.

My clinical interests include metabolic health, weight management, diabetes, chronic and complex conditions, pain medicine, preventive care, paediatrics and reproductive health. I also have a particular interest in supporting intended parents and people navigating egg donation, donor conception and surrogacy, particularly where the pathway to parenthood is less traditional or more complex.

I enjoy the breadth of general practice and the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients. My approach is collaborative and centred on helping people understand their health, make informed decisions and work towards sustainable long-term outcomes.

In my spare time, I’m usually found cooking, attempting to improve my piano skills, or walking my two Brussels Griffons, Dolores and George.

Available for professional and media enquiries relating to general practice, primary care, metabolic health, preventive care, reproductive health, digital health and GP workforce issues.
