Our Doctors
Dr MATTHEW
BRICKNELL
General Practitioner
Dr Matt is a warm and inquisitive GP who approaches his work with empathy and a strong focus on building long‑term relationships with patients. He transitioned to General Practice this year after several years working predominantly as a General Medicine and Respiratory Registrar, gaining broad experience in the management of complex medical conditions.
A graduate of the University of Melbourne, Matt is now also employed by the university’s medical school, where he provides bedside teaching to medical students and assists with examination assessment. He was drawn to Northcote Medical for its strong sense of community and the supportive environment shared among the team.
Outside of work, Matt enjoys music (guitar, piano and DJing), road trips, book club, and relaxing with car karaoke or a casual guitar session. He’s an amateur paraglider, an accomplished bodysurfer, and happiest near a surf beach with a board under his arm. When he’s not reading The Way of Kings or rewatching The Lord of the Rings, you’ll likely find him cooking his signature red lentil dahl or enjoying a coffee at The Herbert Café.
