Jeremy Bunker, MB BS, FRACGP, was born in Swindon, England, on 10 August 1957 and came to Sydney at the age of 2. Educated at Epping Boys High School, he completed Year 12 in 1975 and, as an accomplished pianist, initially studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. During this time, Jeremy decided he wanted to pursue a medical career and enrolled in medicine at the University of New South Wales. He obtained a first class honours degree in 1983 and was awarded the University Medal, the Wallace Wurth Prize for General Proficiency throughout the Medical Course, the Paediatrics Staff Prize and the Australasian Faculty of Occupational Medicine Prize.
Jeremy’s broad interests and genuine liking of people made general practice a natural career choice. After completing his residency at the Prince of Wales Hospital, he set up practice in 1986 in Ultimo with his friend and colleague Dr Kathleen Burns. In 1994, Jeremy attained Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.
