About Us

Dr Jenny Rogers has been working at Padbury since May 1985, when her daughter was 5 months old. Both her daughter and son now have children of their own. Consequently, looking after grandparents, expectant mothers and young families is of special interest. “I enjoy all aspects of being a Family Physician and feel confident to deal with any problems that present. I have developed extra experience in Osteoporosis, Women’s Health, Counselling and Mental Health, preventive medicine and lifestyle change to reduce the burden of chronic diseases. I feel privileged to care for older people and help manage the complexity of their medical and social situations. Dermatology, musculoskeletal problems and asthma/COPD have also been the focus of extra training over my time in general practice.”

Dr Jenny Rogers is qualified to insert IUDs including Mirenas as well as the Implanon contraceptive. She has performed removal of skin cancers and other minor procedures also.

“I am a surveyor on the Post Graduate Medical Council WA and was on the Osteoporosis Model of Care working party. I have been a volunteer board member of Meath Nursing Homes and Cyrenian House Alcohol and other drug treatment facility for over 10 years. I have recently been elected as the WA Director of the Australasian Menopause Society.”

Dr Jenny Rogers is an active member of the North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club and perform patrols. I exercise and swim at the beach most mornings and am currently trying to improve my surf skills.

“I am the Vice President and play field hockey with University Associates having played at Masters level in state and Australian teams when my knees were in better shape. I also enjoy bush and coastal walking and single sculling with a group of friends.”

“I have watched Padbury Family Practice grow and change with our community for over 30 years. I have reaped the joy of care for many generations of the same families as well as being there as a constant in people’s lives as they come and go. I make no excuses for taking adequate time off to spend time with my family and recharge my batteries. It has allowed me to stay interested and caring – essentials for a good GP”.

Dr Astra Lees completed her primary medical degree in Tasmania in 2002.  She moved to Western Australia for the sunshine and beaches and worked in a number of Perth Hospitals before deciding to undertake further training to become a General Practitioner.  After completing her General Practice training, Astra worked in the Perth metro area and also in regional areas of the Kimberley, Pilbara and Northern Territory.

Astra enjoys the challenge and variety of General Practice and she is happy to see patients of all ages and stages of life. She strongly believes in the importance of good primary health care and its role in preventative medicine.  Astra has a good working relationship with other medical professionals in the area, and knowledge of local services and programs.  She will refer or direct patients to appropriate services as needed.

Dr Rippey has a wide range of experience and is comfortable managing all aspects of general practice.

She has a particular interest in women’s health, children and the elderly.  She also offers skin checks, driving

Medicals, health checks and preventative health advice.  In particular cardiovascular risk profile and cancer prevention advice.

When not working or looking after her 3 children, Dr Rippey enjoys mountain biking, surfing, tennis and playing the cello.

Jenelle is grateful to have been part of the Padbury Family Practice since 2010. While she spent four years away in Brisbane for her medical studies, then another two years in Melbourne working as a GP, she is now settled back in her hometown of Perth.

She is passionate about preventative health and wellbeing, the health of the community in general, and its most vulnerable members particularly.

She has built on her experience at Sir Charles Gairdner, Princess Margaret and King Edward Hospitals to develop her family practice. She has undertaken further study in Children’s Health and Sexual and Reproductive Health which has fostered her interest in these areas.

She represents the spirit of WA, she loves the West Coast Eagles, the beach and her two little darling daughters. She currently works on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Dr Mah is a UWA graduate who completed Residency years in Royal Perth Hospital before going into General Practice. She is a Fellow of the College of General Practitioners and also has completed a Diploma of Child Health.

She has previously completed a DRANZCOG Diploma (for obstetrics and gynaecology) also. Dr Mah is experienced in Implanon and IUD insertions.
