George was born in Holland, and brought up in Monbulk and Tecoma. His choice to study medicine was mentored and supported by Dr Elef Jorgensen, the original doctor of Belgrave. George graduated in Medicine in 1976. He trained at the Royal Hobart Hospital for a couple of years and studied Obstetrics at Kent and Canterbury Hospital, UK.
When Dr Spud Murphy, the original doctor in ‘the Hills beyond Belgrave’ died in 1981, his widow Margaret asked George to continue the practice. He accepted the challenge and has managed it ever since. He has always had a very strong interest in disaster medicine and community resilience. This originated during the Ash Wednesday bushfires, when he was a GP in Emerald, Cockatoo and Gembrook.
He set up the Clinical Skills program at the Gippsland Medical School in Churchill (Monash University School of Rural Health) in 2008, where he was appointed an Associate Professor at Monash University.
George continues to manage the centre from the sidelines with the able support of a very competent and capable medical, nursing, and administrative team.
