Dr. Richard Mayes is one of the Directors at Goldfields Medical Hub, now having been at the practice since 2008.Known affectionately as Castlemaine's dancing doctor, Richard, also known as ‘Mullet Man’, helped establish Silver Tops dance therapy class in 2019, bringing joy and health benefits to dozens of locals. Dancing has aided his own mental health after Richard, like many busy GPS, suffered burn-out “loving the work too much”.Growing up in Ballarat, he knew from the age of six that he wanted to be a doctor – his father, grandfather and great uncle were doctors. Monash stood out when he applied to get into medicine after completing a year of science.He started out in General Practice in 2003 providing clinic services alongside supporting maternity, acute care, and nursing home services for Castlemaine Health. Passionate about medical education, he now trains medical students in General Practice as a Monash University senior lecturer, supervises GP registrars towards fellowship and is an instructor for the Advanced Maternity and Reproductive Education Australia.Richard spends his spare time dancing, teaching, with family and overall involved in abundant community of the greater Goldfields region.
