He then completed his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery with Honours at The University of Sydney School of Medicine in 2009. His prevocational training positions provided a broad variety of medical and surgical experience across New South Wales.
Dr Matthews was accepted into Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery training which included in-depth exposure to paediatric and indigenous health. His surgical training included rotations in a variety of urban, rural and remote hospitals such as St Vincent’s, Canberra and Royal Darwin Hospitals. He was awarded his Fellowship by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2017.
Dr Matthews was accepted for further specialized training in Otology/Neurotology at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. During his time abroad he was exposed to advanced otological surgery including the management of hearing implantation, skull base tumours and chronic ear disease.

Prior to returning to Australia he completed an Observership with one of the world’s experts in Totally Endoscopic Ear Surgery, Prof Daniele Marchioni, at Verona University in Italy.
Dr Matthews is grateful to be supported by his family who are all close-by in Sydney. He feels privileged to be able to attend indigenous clinics, educate doctors in-training, continue clinical research and give back to the community of Sydney, where he has lived most of his life.
