Vicki spent most of her childhood in rural Victoria and completed her medical training at Monash University in 1996. She went on to commence her specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology training at the Royal Women’s Hospital and the Mercy Hospital for Women. Vicki’s final year of training was undertaken at the Royal Women’s Hospital where she gained experience in the management of high-risk pregnancies, maternal-fetal medicine and ultrasound.

During this time she also took on the role of Deputy Director at the Deakin University School of Medicine, teaching and examining medical students and gained a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Education from Flinders University.
Prior to commencing solo practice Vicki founded a group practice in East Melbourne.
