Dr. Danielle Stewart
Founder Northside Health
Dr Stewart set up Northside Health NT in 2015 in response to the ever-growing patient need for a health "home" provided by high quality practitioners.
​
Dr Stewart began practising medicine in the NT in 1998 and by 2015 had enjoyed working at dozens of practices around the top half of the NT, both out bush and around Darwin. Three years in Melbourne at Northside Clinic in North Fitzroy (our namesake) finally gave her the inspiration to open a practice in Darwin where she could put art on the walls, choose people she trusted and create a service that patients respected.
In 2016, Northside established the NT's first LGBTIQA+ service which has run successfully ever since.
​​
Dr Stewart no longer sees patients.
