Growing our own - Dr Tau Loseli is grounded in Griffith

Dr Tau Loseli is living his dream: a (literally) hands-on medical
practice in regional Australia which affords him to so much more
time to spend with his wife and children. This son of Tongan
immigrants started out pulling vegetables from the ground with
his family. But Tau was inspired by the community respect given
to a family mentor and set about making his way toward the same
stature. In this episode of "Destination Medicine," Dr Tau Loseli
shares his inspiring journey from growing up in regional
Australia to becoming an orthopaedic surgeon.


Raised in Griffith, Tau's upbringing in a hardworking, close-knit
community instilled in him a deep appreciation for education and
resilience. He discusses how rural placements, and a scholarship
helped him overcome financial challenges and pursue his passion
for medicine. Tau's story highlights the unique rewards of
practicing in regional areas, including a profound sense of
community and the opportunity to give back to the people who
shaped his life.
