Dr Joe Romeo concludes 32 years of service to Narrandera

On Friday 31 October, Dr Joe Romeo completed his final consult as owner of Narrandera Medical Centre, marking the end of 32 years of dedicated service to rural health in the town.

A rural generalist, Dr Romeo has served as a GP VMO, obstetrician and anaesthetist. As an accredited GP supervisor, he has played a vital role in growing the medical profession; educating and mentoring GP registrars, international medical graduates and medical students.

Dr Romeo’s commitment to rural healthcare was formally recognised in November 2024 when he received the Bill Hunter Award from RDA NSW President Dr Rachel Christmas at the Rural GPs Conference Dinner.

Dr Romeo will continue to support the new practice owners for another six months before taking a well-earned rest.
