Dr Shadi Faraj is a qualified Surgical Oncologist, Breast and Endocrine Surgeon, General and Laparoscopic Surgeon and an Endoscopist. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and a member of Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand.

He completed his surgical training at Westmead Hospital. Post-fellowship, Dr Faraj undertook subspecialty training in surgical oncology (thyroid/soft tissue tumours) and breast surgery at Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, which is internationally renowned for excellence in these fields due to the high volume of procedures performed at this centre.
