About Duro Health
We use the best of existing medical and scientific data and infrastructure - we are lucky to live in a country well equipped for this endeavour.
We take a whole-person approach that sees health as interconnected—mind, body, relationships, and environment. Guided by principles of presence and awareness, we focus on understanding you, your values, and your patterns.
Our aim is to support long-term change, not quick fixes. Together we work on small, sustainable shifts that build towards a healthier, more balanced, and more abundant life.
We are dedicated to creating an evidence-based, longitudinal health service of high value to our clients
Which can actively enable optimisation of current health and wellbeing, increased longevity, and maximisation of the healthspan.
Launching in 2025, in the beautiful space of South Melbourne Physiotherapy, at the vibrant location of 98 York St South Melbourne, you can trust that Duro Health will go over and beyond to give you the highest quality of service and surroundings.
Meet Our Team
Jonny
Dr Jonathan Gillies has been working as a GP in Melbourne, including work in public health, sports medicine, addiction medicine, university teaching and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing for the last 10 years.
He completed MBBS at Monash University in 2012 and commenced GP training in 2016. He has completed a diploma in Women’s Health, diploma in Children’s Health, Master in Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and holds Fellowship of the RACGP.
He is married with one daughter and one dog, living in bayside Melbourne, on Boon Wurrung Country. Jonny’s physical pursuits include cycling, running, strength training and any form of social exercise.
Whilst never setting out with the purpose of entering the field of longevity medicine, Jonny has found himself at an intersection of passion and knowledge, and as a GP has seen firsthand a growing mainstream interest in the field. With help from family and friends, Duro Health was conceived as a way to bring a comprehensive medical service to those wishing to dive-in to the pursuit of living longer and better, applying evidence-based medical strategies. See Jonny’s Goals for Age 90 for an idea of what this project is all about.
