Dr Lucia Murnane is a medical doctor with 15 years experience working in a number of different hospitals and General Practice clinics in Australia. In addition to General Practice experience, Dr Murnane developed special interests in infertility and recurrent miscarriage, being a part of holistic Fertility Assessment Clinics (offering a restorative approach) in Melbourne for the last 9 years. Dr Murnane was a founding board member of the Australian Institute of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (AIRRM) in 2015.

Dr Murnane has also undertaken further studies in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine through the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) in a number of different areas of medicine, and finds this approach an integral part of patient management. She actively participates in ongoing professional development in medicine, and is committed to life long learning, along side her patients.

In recent years Dr Murnane has developed a strong interest in the management of acute COVID-19, and its complications, in particular long COVID. She has been a chief investigator in two of NIIM’s COVID-19 trials, involving early treatment of COVID-19, and assessment and management of long COVID.

Dr Murnane is currently only consulting in the area of long COVID and COVID complications. This is due to it being largely an unmet need within the medical community, and cause of significant burden on individuals. She recognises the complex and multi-system facets of long COVID which can be well addressed using an integrative and multidisciplinary chronic disease based model of care, which she is well versed in from prior medical experience.
