Annie Christo - Principal Medical Receptionist

Annie has journeyed with Family Doctors Highton since its conception and is a familiar face to many of our patients. Armed with a Bachelor of Science (Biology), Annie seamlessly integrates her scientific knowledge with her well-honed administrative skills (over twenty years’ worth of experience!).

Behind her beautiful smile is one of the most beautiful hearts we know earning her many fans who drop off gifts, some of which are edible that she generously shares with all of us. Annie is married and have two beautiful children and a menagerie of animals!

The Christos adore farm life and love spending time outdoors. When not out chasing her goat, cow, chooks and horses, you will find Annie in front of the computer trawling through birth records and family history to construct a treasured family tree.

Andrew GanLy

Andrew is as local as they come, born and bred in Geelong, he exudes our beautiful city’s down to earth and friendly vibe. He is no stranger to providing excellent customer service having worked at a local ice cream shop for more than 7 years!

Besides being an expert in making yummylicious ice cream, Andrew is also an expert gamer! His favourite game is Valorant.

Currently, Andrew is studying Psychology at Deakin University. We all love Andrew for his integrity and professionalism. Say hello to him when you call us, he will be the only male voice at reception (unless Dr Ern quits his day job).

Kaye Pulido

Growing up in Lorne Kaye now lives in Geelong and studies Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Deakin University.

Kaye’s calm and soothing demeanour puts everyone at ease but watch out if Beyonce comes on!

Besides enjoying music, Kaye also loves to draw and paint and she is super talented!

One of her greatest wish is to visit the Philippines as she hasn’t returned since her family moved to Australia 15 years ago.

We love Kaye’s beautiful nature and the delicious Filipino food that she brings in for us!

Elizabeth Clarke

Where to begin with this amazing lady! She trained as a Physiotherapist and have lived in many places around the globe, including a 15 year stint in Northern Iraq.

She generously shares her experiences with us and helps us expand our cultural awareness and improve our intercultural communication.

Elizabeth is married with four awesome children who share their parents’ passion and love for people. A strong believer in lifelong learning, Elizabeth eagerly embraces opportunities for self development, which probably explains why she is so multi-skilled!

Other than English, Elizabeth speaks Kurdish and is a ripper sewist and knitter! (That jumper she is wearing? Yup! She made it herself!)

Rebecca Lee

Our youngest squad member is the fabulous Rebecca or fondly known as Becs to us.

Becs studies Chemistry at Deakin University.

Becs loves sports, is an avid Geelong Cats supporter and plays competitive tennis representing Barwon Region Tennis. We all love Becs for her passionate team spirit and calmness under pressure.

Becs grew up in Geelong and lives here with her gorgeous family.

Fun fact about Becs: She has a fraternal twin... who is blond!

Chloe Chang

Our casual fill in at reception is Chloe! She is a post graduate student at Melbourne Uni and loves the idea of sowing into young people’s lives.

Chloe teaches the violin and plays with the Geelong Symphony Orchestra. She also loves reading and making covers with her ukulele for her YouTube channel which honed her video editing skills! Lucky for us because she's the talent behind Family Doctors Highton's awesome videos!
