Dr Emilie Willcox completed her medical degree at the University of Tasmania in 2004 and completed her intern year at the Royal Hobart Hospital before moving interstate to complete resident years at the Royal Darwin Hospital and the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide.

During this time she completed her studies in General Practice, obtaining fellowships with both the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and also with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine.

Following this, she returned to Hobart for several years before moving with her family back to the Northern Territory to work as a Rural Generalist in East Arnhem Land and then in Katherine. In 2018 Dr Willcox returned to Hobart to work both as a GP and in the Royal Hobart Hospital Emergency Department, where she recently completed an Advanced Diploma in Emergency Medicine. Dr Willcox first worked with Ochre Health as a locum at Scottsdale, Tasmania, before moving with her family to Flinders Island.

She was born in Tasmania and grew up in Hobart. She enjoys bushwalking and running, playing violin, singing, and has two sons in primary school.
