Christelle Greeff
Christelle was born in Cape Town, and obtained her medical degree in Pretoria, South Africa where she also spent time serving in the South African Army, both as medical student and as a medical officer. She relocated to Australia almost 25 years ago, making the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Queensland her home.
Christelle has always had an interest in palliative care, and was thankful for the opportunity to complete the PEPA course (Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach) in 2021, introducing her to the specialist palliative care unit at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH)
Christelle is currently employed by Queensland Health as a GP with Special Interest (GPwSI). She divides her time between the Radiation Oncology Rapid Access Clinic at SCUH for the assessment and management of patients in need of urgent palliative radiation therapy, and in the Palliative Care Day Unit (PCDU) at the Caloundra Hospital Specialist Palliative Care Unit. The remainder of the work week is spent as a rural GP in beautiful Maleny.
Outside of work you will find Christelle outside: pedal-ing (hiking), pedalling (cycling) or paddling (double ocean kayak). She loves the performing arts, a great movie, a good book or to cook up a storm in the kitchen with local produce.
