Amber is our Practice Director. She and Dr Moncrieff founded Hunter Plastic Surgery together in 2009.
Amber previously held senior roles in business and politics in Sydney and Canberra. She holds a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and degrees in Law and Commerce.
The focus Amber has on service and continued learning in our practice has been recognised many times at local, national and global awards. These include when she accepted the 2021 Best Small Business Management Team Award at the Global Stevie Awards for Women in Business and the 2020 International MyFaceMyBody Awards in 4 categories. In total the practice has won 24 awards under Amber's leadership.
Amber is also heavily involved in our industry and in 2019 founded an industry group to facilitate sharing and helping her counterparts around the country shine. Her group now has over 85 managers and surgeons from aesthetically focused plastic surgery clinics from across Australia.
Amber and Dr Moncrieff are also passionate supporters of a variety of charities in Newcastle and beyond. The past year they have supported the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Bravehearts (child protection advocates), Interplast and the Hunter Domestic Violence Service.
