Our Doctors at Malanda Medical Care
Dr Catriona Arnold-Nott
Catriona grew up in Canberra, and studied a combined degree in arts and medicine at the University of Sydney. Together with her husband Peter, she has spent most of her 30+ year career working in Northern Australia. During that time Catriona has earned further qualifications in rural and remote general practice, sexual health and family planning, as well as public health medicine.
Setting up Malanda Medical Care has fulfilled a lifelong dream for Catriona.
She is passionate about whole-person wellbeing, while at the same time nurturing
a fun and friendly workplace.
​
Catriona stepped back from clinical consulting in 2024 in order to make room for our full team of highly skilled GPs in the practice. She is still in the practice most days continuing her leadership role, while also studying for her accreditation in lifestyle medicine.
Catriona's other interests include spending time with family and friends, dabbling in foreign languages, amateur acting, singing in a choir, playing pickleball, cycling and bush walking.
Dr Peter Arnold-Nott
Pete runs our outreach clinic at Millaa Millaa on Wednesdays, and works a day in Malanda on Mondays. He enjoys doing most of our more complex skin surgery. When he isn't at work he is chasing cows around the farm in Millaa Millaa.
Dr Jeni Davila Mendez
Jeni grew up in Mexico where she completed her degree and began a specialty in obstetrics. Her career plan underwent an unexpected turn when she married an Australian man and moved to a small farm near Mossman, enjoying the tropical North Queensland rural lifestyle.
Jeni's interest in medicine stems from her childhood. Her father had a small General Practice clinic, and when not at school she was often by his side helping him attend to patients. Her career has been inspired by the delight and satisfaction she experiences each time she is able to assist a patient to achieve wellbeing.
On weekends Jeni likes to help out on the farm, particularly cultivating
exotic tropical fruits.
Dr Jacki McCorry
Jacki spent a number of years working and traveling around rural and remote Australia, searching for a place to settle with her
2 sons, and is very excited to have found Malanda.
Jacki is an honors graduate of University of Melbourne MBBS, she has also worked in Indigenous health and emergency medicine.
She offers dry needling, and has an interest in women’s health, pediatrics, and chronic disease management.
Her passion for general practice stems from a love of supporting people in their life and health journey.
Outside of her work as a GP she is a musician playing guitar, vocals and clarinet/saxophone. She enjoys exercising in nature as the best medicine for a happy heart!
