After graduating as a doctor in Sri Lanka in 2005, he completed a Master’s degree at Monash University in Melbourne before moving into General Practice. He gained his Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2016 and has since developed additional skills in several specialised areas of care.

Dr Rajapakse has a strong interest in skin cancer prevention, diagnosis, and surgical treatment. As an Accredited Skin Cancer Doctor with the Skin Cancer College Australasia, he has completed extensive training in dermoscopy and advanced skin cancer surgery techniques. He provides thorough skin checks and performs a wide range of skin cancer procedures, from simple to complex surgeries.

He is also one of the few GPs in Canberra offering minimally invasive vasectomy and infant, child, and adult circumcision using the latest techniques, having trained with world-leading experts at the Pollock Clinics in Canada.

In addition to these services, Dr Rajapakse performs ultrasound-guided joint injections, minor surgical procedures, and other advanced treatments to support patient care.

Outside work, he enjoys travelling, adventure sports, and playing competitive cricket. Most of all, he loves spending time with his wife and two young sons.
