About

Dr Sandra Skinner is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP), specialising in mental health and ADHD management. After completing her medical degree at the University of Queensland in 2003, she worked for a time as a psychiatry registrar in Townsville before travelling to complete her rural medical scholarship obligations in remote communities.

Since obtaining RACGP fellowship in 2012, she has sub-specialised in mental health, including managing ADHD cases in collaboration with psychiatrists and paediatricians. Following Queensland’s 2025 ADHD legislative changes, she provides direct diagnosis and treatment both in-person at Agnes Water and statewide via MySpecialistGP telehealth.

Passionate about improving patient access, she co-developed an innovative digital pre-consultation tool with architect Fabienne Wintle. This tool streamlines the diagnostic process across Australia, helping patients securely structure their medical history before seeing any GP.
