Dr Anthony Marinucci is a generalist aged care practitioner with extensive experience in the aged care sector. He holds the position of national chair for the RACGP specific interest group for Aged Care, in which he is actively involved in advocacy and policy consultation for improving aged care standards in this country. After finishing his medical degree at Sydney University, Dr. Marinucci completed his residency in the Sydney Local Health District (SLHD), gaining experience in the acute geriatrics services at Concord and Canterbury hospitals. As a registrar, he further pursued his interest in aged care by being heavily involved in outreach medical care to RACF’s during his specialist primary care fellowship. He is now the admitting local medical officer for multiple residental aged care facilities in the Inner-West, North Shore and Eastern suburbs of Sydney, offering regular outreach (mobile) consultation and palliative care support. He works closely with both public and private local specialist services to deliver best-practice, evidence based and multi-disciplinary care to his patients. He has a special interest in the collaborative care of those people living with dementia. As an accredited GPMHSC mental health care provider, he is able to offer bulk-billed focused psychological therapy (incl. CBT, Interpersonal therapy and EMDR). Dr. Marinucci is currently available to accept new RACF patients, including ageing in place, low care and high care residents. He is available for limited consulting hours weekly in his rooms, to support those still living in the community, outside of residential care.
