Biography

Dr Sarah Livingstone is a fully qualified Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. She is a highly skilled and caring female obstetrician and gynaecologist, offering personalised and empathetic care to women of all ages.

Sarah understands the very personal journey involved in seeking gynaecological advice. Her approach ensures patients feel comfortable to discuss their care openly, with a strong emphasis on patient-led decision making.

Sarah completed her training in some of Sydney’s finest hospitals including Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, The Royal Hospital for Women and St Vincent’s Private and Public Hospitals. She has completed rural training at The Tweed Hospital and Royal Darwin Hospital. Sarah held the Senior Registrar position at The Royal Hospital for Women for two years, before completing an extra year of training in advanced laparoscopic and urogynaecology surgery at St Vincent’s Hospital, gaining additional expertise in minimal invasive surgery and complex pelvic floor repair. Sarah was recently awarded the Emily Hensley Award in 2024 in recognition of achievements in her career to date.

Outside of medicine, Sarah would say her greatest achievements are her three children and busy family life. On the weekends she coaches Nippers at Balmoral beach and manages her sons’ soccer teams. Prior to medicine, Sarah was an elite rower and knows the dedication required to achieve your goals.

As an experienced clinician, Sarah’s mission is to provide patients with the education needed to empower them to make their own decisions about their care. While informing her patients of the most up to date, evidence-based medicine, she tailors her approach to each person’s circumstances and wishes. Her professional, thoughtful, and friendly manner is a comfort to women seeking her care.
