About Dr Stephen Holmes

Steve is a senior rural GP/obstetrician practising in Clare, South Australia.  Born in rural SA, he trained (and remains registered) as a specialist pathologist before doing a GP locum for a friend in Clare, where he discovered the unique attractions of general practice that were missing from a career as a pathologist.

He has a long history of advocacy for rural practice and is a Past President of the Rural Doctors Association of South Australia and the General Practice Supervisors Association.

Steve also represents the College on the Procedural Medicine Collaboration and is a member of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Working Group.
