Before studying medicine, Lynette did a science degree and completed a PhD in microwave spectroscopy, which is a branch of physical chemistry. She was in the first cohort to go through the University of Sydney's Graduate Medical Program and graduated in 2001.

Realising that modern medicine did not have all the solutions for people’s health problems, Lynette undertook further study about medical acupuncture at Monash University and has done a number of courses, for example, through ACNEM (Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine).

Lynette believes that the modern lifestyle can impact negatively on people’s health but that there are many options to help us heal our bodies, which include: improving our choices for what goes inside our bodies, being mindful to minimise exposure to toxins in our environment, regular exercise, managing stress and correcting nutritional deficiencies. Gut health underpins the rest of our body health and once the gut is healed and maintained, many conditions will improve. Having said that, it is highly valuable to understand the mind-body connection and ultimately to take responsibility for our own health.

Lynette loves acupuncture and uses laser as well as needles. Conditions for which she has found acupuncture useful include: pain eg headache/migraines, spinal and all other joint pain, sinusitis, cough, gastro symptoms, menopausal hot flushes, neuropathic symptoms, dry eyes. A side effect of acupuncture is often feeling more relaxed and so it can help with anxiety and people’s depression can also improve as part of a multimodal strategy.

Lynette believes we are currently living through challenging times, ultimately for spiritual reasons, to help develop our awareness of our interconnectedness and the creative force of love. She meditates 2 hours per days and finds this very beneficial.

Consultation Rates

Dr Lynette Hatherley’s clinic is private and not a bulk billing clinic.

For a first appointment, an hour is generally set aside and the fee is $260, with the Medicare rebate usually being $118 and out of pocket expense $142. If the appointment takes less than an hour, the fee will be less. Sometimes more time is needed and the fee is higher. For example the fee for a 90 minute consultation is $330. Fees are reduced for patients with healthcare cards- a 1 hour consultation costs $200 and 90 minute consultation is $260.

Why are appointments so long?

Dr Hatherley takes a comprehensive history from childhood (important because, for example, lots of antibiotics can have long term effects on the gut). This covers not just physical conditions but also psychological stressors and trauma, which can have significant impacts on a person’s physical as well as mental health. It also includes exploring exposure to environmental toxins. After taking a history, Dr Hatherley does a thorough physical examination and then formulates a plan to address underlying causes and issues, as well as more obvious conditions.
