Golly
Dr Golly is one of Australia’s most trusted voices in family health. A leading paediatrician and father of three, he is known for delivering clear, evidence-based guidance that supports both parents through the realities of modern family life.
With a community of more than 600,000 followers, Dr Golly has built trust by cutting through noise and misinformation, making complex medical advice practical, relatable and genuinely useful. His work resonates strongly with women, who often act as the information gatekeepers in early parenthood, while also speaking directly to men who want to be more confident, capable and engaged partners and fathers.
What sets Dr Golly apart is his ability to bridge expertise with lived experience. He openly discusses the physical and emotional demands of parenthood - from sleep deprivation and stress to identity shifts and relationship dynamics - offering guidance that acknowledges real life, not idealised versions of it. As a hands-on dad, he brings credibility to conversations around shared responsibility, parental wellbeing, and resilience.
Dr Golly’s approach reinforces a simple but powerful message: caring for yourself is not separate from caring for your family - it’s foundational to it. Whether speaking on newborn care, parental mental and physical health, sleep science, nutrition, performance or the psychology of modern parenting, he delivers authority without ego and clarity without judgement.
A natural presenter and communicator, Dr Golly believes medicine needs more personality, not less. That philosophy underpins his work across media, education, brand partnerships and public platforms, where his grounded authenticity continues to resonate with parents nationwide.
