(Sunbury Medical Centre)
Hello, my name is Silvana, and I am a dedicated physiotherapist with a passion for helping people recover from various conditions.
I specialize in treating musculoskeletal injuries, back and joint pain, post-surgery rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. Additionally, I am a qualified women’s and men’s health physiotherapist, focusing on issues such as bladder and bowel conditions (including incontinence and chronic constipation), pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse and sexual health concerns like pelvic pain.
I find great fulfillment in assisting women with pregnancy-related pain and guiding them back to fitness postpartum.
Beyond my professional endeavours, I cherish my role as a mother of three wonderful children. Family is incredibly important to me, and I enjoy spending quality time with them outdoors and creating memorable travel experiences together.

Services in Detail
Family Medicine and General Practice
Our GPs manage the full spectrum of general practice care for families in Sunbury. This includes acute illness (colds, flu, infections), injury management, prescription renewals, medical certificates, and health advice. We welcome new patients of all ages, from newborns through to older adults.
Preventive Health and Immunisation
Prevention is central to our approach. We offer childhood immunisations on the National Immunisation Program schedule, adult vaccinations including flu shots and shingles vaccines, travel vaccinations, and cervical screening for women aged 25-74. We also conduct Medicare-funded health assessments including the 45-49 year old check and the 75+ older Australian health assessment.
Chronic Disease Management
If you live with diabetes, asthma, heart disease, arthritis, or another chronic condition, we can prepare a GP Management Plan (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangement (TCA). This coordinates your care with allied health providers including physiotherapists, dietitians, podiatrists, and diabetes educators at reduced or no out-of-pocket cost through Medicare.
Mental Health Support
Our GPs are experienced in supporting patients with mental health concerns. We can prepare Mental Health Treatment Plans that give you Medicare-funded access to psychologists, and we offer ongoing medical management of conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
Skin Cancer Screening
Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. We offer professional full-body skin checks using dermoscopy to identify concerning spots early, when treatment is most effective. Regular skin checks are particularly important for anyone with significant sun exposure history.
Women’s and Men’s Health
We provide confidential and comprehensive care for women’s health (cervical screening, contraception, menopause management, antenatal care) and men’s health (prostate assessments, sexual health, cardiovascular risk management).
Paediatric Care
Children’s health is a core part of our practice. From newborn checks and immunisations through to adolescent mental health and the 4-year-old Healthy Kids Check, we support families throughout their child’s development.
Telehealth Consultations
Can’t make it into the clinic? We offer Medicare-rebated telehealth consultations by phone or video for eligible patients. Telehealth is ideal for prescription renewals, discussing test results, mental health reviews, and minor concerns that don’t require an in-person examination.
