Dr Robert Gillies is a registered Medical Doctor (MBBS Hons) and Psychiatrist (FRANZCP) practicing in Melbourne, Australia. He also holds an Advanced Certificate of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, a Master of Psychiatric Medicine, a Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, a Bachelor of Medical Science with Honours, and several professional certificates in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment and management.

Dr Gillies completed his specialist medical training over a five-year period at the Alfred Hospital. Whilst employed at the Alfred, he was a member of the adult community care team, child and youth mental healthcare teams, inpatient hospital teams, hospital consultation and liaison teams, neurodevelopmental assessment teams, and a number of different Headspace teams. He also provided fly-in psychiatric and medical support to remote Australian hospitals during his training, from time to time.  

Since graduating as a specialist, Dr Gillies has worked as an inpatient hospital psychiatrist at The Melbourne Clinic (in Richmond). In this role, Dr Gillies provided inpatient (hospital-based) psychiatric care to people with obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as other psychiatric conditions. Dr Gillies also operates a private psychiatric practice through Evallies Rooms, where he has a special interest in managing ADHD, OCD, autism, anxiety, insomnia, trauma conditions, and some eating conditions (including binge eating disorder). He is not currently accepting referrals for management of addiction conditions, psychotic conditions, forensic issues, major depressive disorders, anorexia or bulimia nervosa, or bipolar affective disorders.

Referring to Dr Robbie Gillies OAM at Evallies Rooms:

Please book a “long consult” with your GP. Ask for a referral letter that:

  • Is addressed to the psychiatrist, or the specific clinician that you wish to see

  • Includes a detailed overview of your principal issue, symptoms, and request from the psychiatrist

  • Includes your current medications and any allergies

  • Includes an overview of your medical / physical health status, with recent blood pressure measurements and any recent investigations

  • Includes an overview of your past medical, surgical, mental health, family, forensic, social and/or substance use history

Send the referral letter to “referrals@evallies.com.au”

Dr Robert Gillies is currently unavailable

Dr Robert Gillies is not expected to be able to see new patients for general psychiatric care until early 2027. When he is available, he accepts referrals for people aged between 16 to 50 years old. Dr Gillies has a special interest in treating neurodevelopmental and related conditions (for example: autism, ADHD, tic/Tourette'sconditions, OCD, binge eating, insomnia, and anxiety conditions). He is not currently accepting new referrals for patients who require treatment for addiction, bipolar affective disorder, schizophrenia, anorexia/bulimia nervosa, or major depressive disorder.

Substance use (or prescribed THC) and ADHD assessments:

Substance misuse / alcohol dependence will render an ADHD assessment inaccurate, compromise treatment, and also pose legal barriers to prescribing ADHD treatment in Victoria. Generally speaking, it is recommended that all substance misuse and alcohol misuse be controlled for a period of at least 12 months prior to your ADHD assessment. If substance misuse, prescribed THC, or alcohol misuse is a current issue for you, please seek support from a drug and alcohol service (and please note that Evallies Rooms does not currently host any drug/alcohol workers).
