About Dr Gaya
Dr. Gayathri Jayasinghe (or Dr Gaya as she prefers to be called) is an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in Sydney, providing care at Westmead Private, Norwest Private, Westmead Public, and Auburn Public hospitals. Known for her warmth and approachability, she ensures her patients feel understood and supported.
Becoming a mother to her energetic 2-year-old son has deepened her understanding of the physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. This experience drives her commitment to patient-centred, compassionate care. As a mother, she is dedicated to ensuring every patient feels empowered and respected throughout their journey.
Dr Gaya completed her specialist training at Westmead Hospital, developing skills in both high-risk obstetrics and advanced laparoscopic gynaecological surgery.
Committed to improving women’s healthcare in under-resourced communities, Dr Gaya has extensively volunteered in Papua New Guinea. This experience has strengthened her dedication to improving access to healthcare for more women and their families in under resourced communities.
Dr Gaya is the Clinical Lead of the Breech Birth Service at Westmead Public Hospital, supporting women with breech pregnancies through expert counselling and individualised care. She provides safe options for vaginal breech birth while also mentoring and training other clinicians.
In addition, she leads the hospital’s Hyperemesis Service and provides specialised care for women affected by Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Dr Gaya is a RANZCOG training supervisor and clinical lecturer at the University of Sydney, supporting and mentoring future obstetricians and gynaecologists.
Outside of her practice, she enjoys pottery, a creative outlet that brings her both relaxation and inspiration. Much like her approach to obstetrics, pottery requires patience, attention to detail, and a deep respect for the process. She believes this hobby allows her to bring a calm, balanced presence to her patients. Just as each pottery piece is unique, Dr Gaya takes a personalized approach to every patient, ensuring that their care is crafted to meet their individual needs.
She and her family also love to cook, travel and spend time outdoors. There is nothing she loves more than spending time with her husband and young son.
