Abstract

Biography

Dr Troye Wallett is a GP with a specific interest in helping older Australians. In 2014, he recognised the need for GPs in Aged Care Facilities and understood that barriers to entry prevented them from visiting their older patients. In response, he co-founded GenWise, an aged care specific general practice. Three years later GenWise won the 2017 Telstra Business of the Year award. It was recognised as a purpose-driven, ethics based company with a focus on customer service and patient outcomes. Troye’s mind is layered like a golden ratio rectangle which is vital to managing the varied aspects of business, patient care and family life. It is how he keeps his balance. Interacting regularly with octogenarians, other GPs and the GenWise team teaches him vital lessons and develops diverse skills. Combining medical knowledge, business experience and self experimentation, Troye is driven to make a positive difference in the way people think about themselves and the world around us. Because the lens through which we view the world dictates 90% of our reality.
