Dr Rebecca Mackenzie-Proctor is a highly respected Fertility Specialist and Gynaecologist based in Melbourne, consulting at Stellar Fertility in Fitzroy and Middle Park. With over a decade of experience in obstetrics and gynaecology, she is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (FRANZCOG) and a trained subspecialist in reproductive endocrinology and infertility (CREI). Rebecca is known for her thoughtful, highly personalised approach, placing each patient’s overall wellbeing at the centre of care. She combines clinical excellence with scientific rigour and a holistic philosophy, ensuring patients feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout their fertility journey.

Originally from New Zealand, Rebecca completed her specialist training through FRANZCOG and has held consultant roles at Middlemore Hospital and private fertility centres across Australasia. She has undertaken advanced subspecialty training in fertility and reproductive endocrinology and has developed deep expertise in managing complex fertility and gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian insufficiency, and male infertility. Her clinical practice encompasses ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF), and fertility preservation, including egg freezing—delivered with an individualised, evidence-based approach.

Rebecca has a particular interest in supporting patients with complex or previously unsuccessful fertility journeys, including recurrent implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, and ovarian ageing or reduced ovarian reserve. She takes a structured, evidence-based approach to investigation and management, integrating embryo quality, uterine and endometrial factors, genetics, and hormonal optimisation to develop tailored treatment plans. Her care is pragmatic and data-driven, focusing on interventions supported by evidence while avoiding unnecessary or low-value add-ons.

She is a skilled laparoscopic, with particular expertise in endometriosis and pelvic pain. Rebecca also has a strong interest in the impact of environmental and lifestyle factors on reproductive hormones, including in elite-level athletes, and has cared for Olympic and national-level athletes. Her commitment to integrative medicine is reflected in additional training in sports medicine, nutrition, and psychology, alongside studies in Ayurveda and yoga in India.

Rebecca represents a more personalised, boutique model of fertility care that many patients are now seeking—continuity with a single specialist, clear evidence-based guidance, and a holistic approach that considers both physical and emotional wellbeing. She has published widely and collaborated on research across Australasia and the UK, is a dedicated mentor to junior doctors, and a passionate advocate for inclusive fertility care, including support for the LGBTQIA+ community and fertility preservation in adolescents and young adults. Outside of medicine, she enjoys creative pursuits, yoga, running, and spending time in nature with her partner and two young children.
